Wooden Spoon

A wooden spoon is one of those kitchen essentials that feels as timeless as the recipes passed down from generation to generation. Whether you’re stirring a slow-simmering winter stew, folding together the batter for a batch of chocolate chip cookies, or scraping every last bit of sauce from the corners of your favorite Dutch oven, a wooden spoon is the tool you reach for without thinking. The natural feel of wood in your hand, its gentle touch on delicate cookware, and its durability through years of use make it a staple for both new cooks and seasoned chefs. At Sur La Table, we understand that the right wooden spoon isn’t just about function—it’s about the small joys of cooking, like the warmth of a well-worn handle or the subtle scent of olivewood as you stir. As January brings chilly evenings and hearty home-cooked meals, a sturdy wooden spoon becomes even more indispensable, ready to help you craft comforting soups, risottos, and sauces that fill the kitchen with inviting aromas.

When considering a wooden spoon for your kitchen, there are a few key features that make all the difference. The shape and size of the bowl, the length of the handle, and the type of wood all play a role in how the spoon feels and performs. A classic Sur La Table wooden spoon is designed to strike the right balance—long enough to reach into deep pots, yet comfortable enough for everyday tasks. Olivewood, in particular, is prized for its striking grain patterns and natural resistance to odors and stains, making a Sur La Table olivewood cook’s spoon both beautiful and practical. The smooth finish of these spoons means they’re gentle on nonstick pans and enameled cookware, preventing scratches while offering enough strength for mixing thick doughs or scraping up browned bits from the bottom of a pan. Wooden spoons are also a thoughtful gift, perfect for a housewarming, a newlywed couple, or anyone who appreciates the simple pleasure of a well-crafted kitchen tool. They age gracefully, developing a unique character with every meal prepared, and often become a cherished favorite in the utensil jar.

Choosing the right wooden spoon is about matching your cooking style with the right tool. Some cooks prefer a spoon with a flat edge for deglazing pans, while others reach for a rounded bowl for stirring sauces and soups. The versatility of a Sur La Table wooden spoon makes it a reliable companion for all kinds of recipes, from rustic breads to silky custards. Caring for your spoon is simple—hand wash with mild soap and let it dry thoroughly to preserve the wood’s natural beauty. Over time, a light rub with mineral oil will keep the wood supple and vibrant, ensuring your spoon is ready for years of use. For those who love to coordinate their kitchen tools, exploring options like the Black Spoon can add a touch of modern elegance to your collection. Whether you’re building your own set of utensils or searching for a meaningful gift, a wooden spoon from Sur La Table is a small investment that pays off with every meal, every memory, and every moment spent in the heart of the home.
