Of wooden cooking utensils
Posted: Mon Nov 25, 2024 8:38 am
So anyway, someone here has a aversion to using (touching) things made of wood.
Ice cream bar sticks, wooden spoons, etc.
I had purchased two spatulas and one spoon, made of olive wood when we still lived close to a Trader Joe's, yet the went unused. I had even fine sanded them smoother and treated them with olive oil and later with "food grade" mineral oil.
Now out of somewhere the wood avoider read an article about some plastic cooking utensils, that use recycled plastics, containing fire retardant, never mind the chance of shedding micro plastics. Ours are at least 15 years old that we purchased when they opened the Ikea store in West Sacatomatoes.
This morning was treating them with some more mineral oil, because they were looking a bit dry after some washings. Got to thinking and wondering if in great grandparents day if they didn't "treat" the wood with some readily available bacon grease.
Currently have some teak ones on order from Tilly, but you will get inundated with emails from them after ordering, even if you uncheck the box to opt out of receiving emails from about ongoing deals. Wheee...
