Wooden Spoons
Commercial wooden spoons are essential workhorses in professional kitchens across the UK, offering chefs a reliable tool for everything from gentle stirring to vigorous mixing. Unlike their home kitchen counterparts, these restaurant-grade wooden utensils are crafted from dense, durable hardwoods that withstand the relentless demands of busy commercial environments. After 50 years of kitting out professional kitchens, we've seen how these wooden spoons complement everything from saucepans to stock pots, working brilliantly alongside metal utensils and silicone spatulas for a complete kitchen toolkit. Whether you're running a bustling hotel kitchen or a cosy café, these heat-resistant, non-scratch implements are indispensable for protecting your cookware and delivering perfect results!

How Commercial Wooden Spoons Work
The magic of wooden spoons lies in their brilliant simplicity. Carved from a single piece of hardwood—typically beech, maple, or olive—these kitchen staples distribute pressure evenly when stirring thick mixtures. Their naturally porous surface creates just enough friction to incorporate ingredients properly, while the smooth, rounded edges prevent scratching on expensive cookware. Unlike metal utensils, wood doesn't conduct heat, so handles stay cool even when resting against hot pan edges. This insulating property also prevents flavour transfer between dishes, making wooden spoons perfect for tasting and adjusting seasonings in professional kitchens.

"Wooden spoons might look old-school, but they’re a chef’s best mate—gentle on pans, heat-resistant, and built to last through the busiest shifts. Just make sure you’re using solid, food-safe wood that won’t splinter mid-stir!"
Safety Guidelines
- Inspect Regularly Check for splinters or cracks—prevents contamination.
- Proper Cleaning Hand wash only—dishwashers cause splitting.
- Avoid Cross-Contamination Use separate spoons for allergens—keeps diners safe.
- Heat Awareness Despite resistance, extreme heat chars wood—use caution.
- Storage Keep in clean, dry areas—prevents bacterial growth.
- Replace When Worn Discard cracked or heavily stained spoons—maintains hygiene.
Top Tips for Using Commercial Wooden Spoons
To maximise your wooden spoons' lifespan, never leave them soaking in water or dishwashers—hand wash immediately after use with warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly. Oil your spoons monthly with food-grade mineral oil or wooden spoon butter to prevent cracking and splitting. Store upright in a utensil holder to maintain proper air circulation, and replace any spoons that develop deep cracks where food might harbour. For ultimate hygiene, consider having colour-coded sets for different cooking stations.
