From Bethlehem, From Me
We carve these in two lengths because every kitchen has two pans, the small one for eggs and the deep stockpot for stew. The medium fits a 10 inch skillet, the large reaches the bottom of an 8 quart pot. I use both at home most weeks.
The Story of This Piece
Each spoon and spatula in the set is shaped by hand from a single olive wood blank, sanded to a fine surface, and finished without any varnish or stain. The grain on each pair is matched from the same wood batch.
How It Is Used
Used for stirring sauces, sautéing vegetables, flipping pancakes, scraping the bottom of cast iron pans without scratching. Olive wood is naturally antibacterial and non-reactive, safe for non-stick, cast iron, and stainless cookware.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the medium and large size?
The medium set is 26.3 cm (10.4 inches) long and weighs 104 g, sized for skillets and small pans. The large set is 33.5 cm (13.2 inches) long and weighs 158 g, sized for deep pots and stockpots.
Is olive wood safe for non-stick cookware?
Yes, olive wood is non-abrasive and will not scratch non-stick coatings, cast iron seasoning, or stainless steel.
How do I clean the set?
Hand wash with warm water and a small amount of mild soap, towel dry immediately. Never dishwasher. Rub with food-grade mineral oil once or twice a year.
Will the wood absorb cooking smells?
Olive wood is naturally dense and absorbs very little. If a strong-smelling meal leaves a hint of garlic or curry, scrub with coarse salt and lemon, rinse, dry, and the smell lifts.
