Wooden Cooking Spoon with Hole METALTEX 580606010, Olive Wood Oiled, Length 300 mm

METALTEX wooden cooking spoon in oiled olive wood is a 300 mm long kitchen utensil designed for everyday cooking tasks. The spoon features a hole in the head for ladling and draining liquids, and an oiled finish that protects the wood while enhancing the natural grain. Supplied as a single-piece utensil, it is suitable for use with a variety of pots and pans and provides a tactile, heat-resistant handle for stirring and serving.

Advantages

The oiled olive wood surface offers natural resistance to moisture and food odors while emphasising the wood pattern. The 300 mm length provides a comfortable working distance from hot surfaces. The hole in the spoon head allows controlled draining of liquids and makes the utensil suitable for both stirring and gentle ladling. Being a single solid piece, the spoon has no joints or seams that could trap food, which simplifies cleaning and long-term hygiene when maintained correctly.

Suitable for

• Stirring soups, sauces and stews in medium to large pots
• Serving portions of cooked vegetables, grains and pasta
• Draining small amounts of liquid while transferring food
• Use with non-stick and stainless steel cookware

When it may not be suitable

This wooden spoon is not designed for heavy-duty scraping on cast-iron surfaces or for intensive pounding tasks. Prolonged immersion in water or dishwasher cleaning can degrade the oiled finish and the wood over time, so hand washing and careful drying are recommended. It is not suitable for sterilisation in high-temperature commercial dishwashers.

How to use
