How to use

After use, rinse or wash according to the material recommendations, dry thoroughly before storing.

Usage recommendations

Use the spreading knife for soft-to-medium textured spreads and avoid using it for cutting hard items. Regular cleaning after each use prevents transfer of flavours between different spreads. Store the utensil in a dry place to maintain condition and hygiene.
