Wood Utensil care

Congratulations, you now own a custom hand-made kitchen utensil from our shop on Garden Lane.  Follow these few tips and handled with care, it should give years of satisfactory service. 

First, and most importantly, never put it in the dishwasher.  This will dry and crack it.  Instead, wash it in soap and water and let it dry.  It has been “pretreated” by getting it wet and allowing the grain to raise and then sanding it smooth.  This helps prevent that rough feeling wooden utensils get when wet.  We sand it smooth and then polish it to give it the sheen you see and feel when it’s new.  It has been treated with Daly’s Kitchen Wood Treatment, a non-toxic product to protect the wood.  You can use regular cooking oil to keep it protected when it starts to look and feel dry.  We prefer olive oil ourselves. That’s about it for care.  It was made with love and hopefully, you will cook and serve your food with it lovingly.  Enjoy!

Peace,

Ted and Gini
