Cooking Utensils & Wooden Spoons

The small tools behind a good meal.

Stir something slowly, squeeze a lemon, lift the last spoonful from the pan. Our cooking utensils bring together olive wood, beech, poplar and acacia pieces, from familiar spoons and spatulas to ladles, reamers and little scoops. Choose a shape that works with your cookware and earns its place beside the hob.

Notes from the Kitchen Table

Let the shape do the work

A broad spoon for stirring risotto, a ladle for portioning soup and a narrow spatula for a smaller pan all feel different in use. Those differences are worth noticing. Look at the head as closely as the handle, then compare the measurements with your cookware. For the first stage of a recipe, add a suitably sized chopping board; for the last, keep the right serving piece within reach.

Notes from the Kitchen Table

A place for the smaller tools

The little pieces often stay in daily use: a honey dipper at breakfast, a citrus reamer beside a bowl of lemons, a scoop tucked into the seasoning jar. They bring detail to the kitchen without needing much space. Choose them for ingredients you use regularly, then explore serving utensils for the table and glass storage jars for ingredients you like to keep close to hand.

The Byard’s choosing guide

Find the shape your cooking needs

The difference between two wooden utensils is often in the detail. Compare the head, the handle and the material, then choose around the dishes you cook regularly and the pans already in your kitchen.

Should I choose a spoon or a spatula?

Think about the movement you need. A rounded spoon is useful for stirring and scooping, while a flatter spatula gives a broader edge for moving food across a pan. Slotted and specialist shapes add another option. Compare the product dimensions and listed uses with the meals you cook.

Are all the wooden utensils made from olive wood?

No. Olive wood sits alongside beech, poplar and acacia pieces in this range. The grain, colour and shape differ between materials and individual products. Use the material information on each listing to choose a matching set or a mix of tools that suits your kitchen.

How should I care for wooden cooking utensils?

Follow the instructions supplied with the particular utensil. Many pieces in this collection specify hand washing, no soaking and thorough drying, with occasional food-safe oiling where recommended. Keep the care details for your chosen material rather than assuming a wooden utensil can follow the same routine as metal cutlery.
