As common as they are, it can be hard to remember that there are essential factors to consider when evaluating a wooden spoon. For example, spoons typically take on tasks that require a hardy stirrer; however, the thickness and wood type of any spoon (head or handle) can make or break it — quite literally.
We expect spoons to stir, scrape, scoop, and serve with ease, all while holding up against high temperatures and constant use. When buying a new kitchen tool, it can be hard to determine how it will hold up in the face of steaming pots, sizzling meat, and the dishwasher.
The Food & Wine test kitchen tested 13 different top-of-the-line wooden spoons and deemed Jonathan’s Spoons Spootle the favourite.
