NON-TOX SWAP KITCHEN MUST HAVE

Firstly.. Why use wooden kitchen utensils?

1) Wooden kitchen tools are naturally more antibacterial than any man made object.

2) Wood is one of the oldest materials for making kitchen utensils

3) Wood is one of the best tools to use on nonstick cookware, preventing the scratching that releases non stick pots & pans potentially dangerous chemicals

4) They cut down on kitchen clutter! Wooden spoons can mix batter, scrape burnt bits off pans, & stir a sauce.

5) They don’t hold heat! Unlike their counterpart, metal spoons.

+ they don’t chemically react with acidic foods, such as tomatoes & vinegars

now for those new to wooden utensils, you should ALWAYS hand wash and air dry wood. NEVER put them in the dishwasher or leave to soak in water!

Dishwashing your wood tools will cause splitting, splintering, and decrease the longevity of their life, leaving them susceptible to bacteria growth & rotting.

But fear not, an occasionally dishwashed spoon can be restored with proper maintenance 🖤

Happy nontox swapping y’all!
