Wooden Beechwood Spoon

Our utensils are made from FSC and LFGB certified beechwood. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification means the wood is responsibly and ethically harvested at every stage of production. LFGB is the most rigorous food-safety standard available - stricter than FDA testing - confirming the materials are safe for contact with food. We also tested this range against 48 different pesticides, and none were detected.

Yes, beechwood is naturally non-reactive, which means it won't leach chemicals or flavours into your food even when exposed to high heat or acidic ingredients like tomato sauce or citrus. Unlike plastic utensils, which can release microplastics and toxins when heated, beechwood stays completely inert and food-safe throughout cooking.

Hand wash with mild detergent and dry immediately - don't leave them soaking or put them in the dishwasher, as prolonged water exposure can cause splitting or warping. Every so often, treat them with a food-safe wood oil or beeswax to keep the surface nourished and crack-free. With this simple routine, beechwood utensils can last for decades and actually improve with age as the wood seasons.

Not at all. Beechwood is one of the most cookware-friendly materials you can use. It's gentle enough for all non-stick and coated surfaces, glides smoothly when stirring or flipping, and won't scratch, melt, or warp the way metal or plastic utensils can. If protecting your cookware investment matters to you, wooden utensils are the right choice.

Plastic utensils are the least sustainable option as they melt under heat, can leach microplastics, and end up in landfill for hundreds of years. Silicone is a meaningful step up: it's heat-resistant and safer than plastic, but it still isn't biodegradable and can absorb odours over time. Beechwood is the most natural and planet-friendly choice for everyday cooking - fully biodegradable, chemical-free, and built to last. We offer both beechwood and silicone options so you can choose the right tool for every task. Read our full comparison here.

Beechwood is fully biodegradable, so at the end of their life your utensils can safely return to the earth - no landfill, no lasting waste. This is one of the key advantages over both plastic and silicone, neither of which biodegrade. Choosing beechwood is a small but meaningful way to close the loop on kitchen waste.
