I can confirm that my spoon has the same vile, chemical flavor, and that the flavor hasn't faded over time. It's a serious problem, and I'm concerned that some of the wooden spoons sold on Amazon are dangerous.
The best option is mineral oil, which does not go rancid. After washing, I give it a light coat of wax and store it.

I'd never made a Roux before, so I looked it up and discovered that it's made with a whisk and a flat-edged wooden spoon. The edge of this spoon is flat. At its widest point, it measures 3 1/4" long and 2" wide. If that length and width successfully stirs the ingredients, then this would work for you because it has a slanted straight edge that comes to a point on one side for getting into corners and so on. I hope this helps! Good luck with your cooking endeavors!
Selected User Reviews For Berard Olive-Wood Handcrafted Pointed Spoon
I decided it was time to look at all of the old wooden spoons and other oddities. This was one of my first purchases in that direction, and I'm very pleased with it. Not only is olive wood much harder, more beautiful, and better finished than the old soft-wood alternatives, but it also lasts much longer. We already had some wood stuff, but the shape of this one is ideal for getting into corners while stirring pots. I've since purchased more of these pointed spoons, as well as a variety of other olive wood pieces from various makers, and they all work well together. br>br>I'd also picked up a set of bamboo utensils somewhere along the way. While these are preferable to the low-cost soft drinks, they are still not ideal. They're not even close to being as good as olive wood. When exposed to the flame of our gas cooktop, the bamboo splinters and chars easily, whereas olive wood utensils from reputable brands such as Berard, Scanwood, and Eddingtons are extremely smooth, dense, and heat resistant.
Olivewood is a light, stiff wood with a beautiful grain. It's a hardwood with very little flex, making it ideal for stirring stews, chili, and thick batters. The spoon's flat face makes it ideal for bottom-feeding. the- stirring in the pot and in the corners They're of sufficient thickness- I have confidence in their ability to carry out most of my requests. These spoons appear to be made up of two parts. The spoon is turned with the help of a simple dowel handle. The spoon/bowl has a dowel glued to it. I'm not sure how long the glue will last, but if it does separate, re-gluing it should be simple. glue. The wood is smooth and has a light sheen to it. Over time, I'll re-examine the situation. To keep them sealed, use a drying oil of some sort. Overall, these appear to be a nice product that will make excellent cooking utensils and gifts.
I'm not sure why these have such low ratings on Amazon. They are one of my most treasured possessions. I've purchased four times on Amazon, but some of those orders were for multiple items, and each one has been excellent. I give them as gifts, keep them on display in my Berard olive wood utensil cup, and use them every time I cook. I've never had to throw one out in the 7 years since my first order; instead, I keep backups so I can continue to use them. This is an excellent spoon that makes me smile every time I use it.
Update. My Berard Olive Wood spoons are still in great shape after 6 years! Yes, they fade over time, but they don't absorb odors or stains. To bring them back to life, use cutting board oil! I'm back to get some replacements because they've become rough, especially the ones I use the most. I have several Berard Olivewood utensils, including spoons, cheese knives, utensil holders, and a salt spoon. I've bought olivewood items from other companies, but Berard's finish and color are the best. I use this and other Berard spoons for cooking all of the time, and while they do need to be oiled, they never stain or retain odors from the food, even in garlic sauces. Berard is the place to go if you want to buy Olivewood utensils.
My go-to spatula has been smashed. The head shape is fantastic and extremely versatile, and the wood quality is excellent. notch. It should be noted that, unlike a pure silicone one, it does necessitate some maintenance. I wash it as soon as I'm done cooking with it to prevent food from hardening on it, and I'll apply a light coating of oil every now and then to keep the wood moist (I use a light coating of olive oil, but you can use (food grade) mineral oil if you want; buy the laxative version, same product, much cheaper, and a good conversation starter hehe).
Every morning, I prepare 20 minutes of oatmeal. It's a lot less of a chore when you have a pretty spoon like this. The spoon is shaped in such a way that it can get into tight spaces. There is very little visible wear after a few months of daily use. I just make sure it doesn't get wet and give it a coat of mineral oil every two to three weeks. br>br>If you're looking for a good wooden spoon, this is the one to get. Always go for olive or bamboo wood.
This spoon is made from a single piece of wood, rather than a bowl and handle glued together, as I had hoped. I used mineral oil and then butcher block cream to treat it when I first got it. I haven't been flawless with it since then - Surprisingly, it's survived both being submerged in water overnight and being covered in tomato sauce for hours, and both times it's been completely fine, with no staining or warping. The wood is of excellent quality. This book comes highly recommended. Just don't put it in the dishwasher with the rest of your dishes!.
Williams-Sonoma originally sold me a set of wooden spoons. Sonoma, but after their first wash, they began to disintegrate, so they were returned. I decided to give the Berard a try, and I haven't been disappointed so far. It washed up well, and I wrapped it in plastic wrap for a day to soak in John Boos Mystery Oil. I've been using it for cooking on a daily basis since then, and it still looks brand new. I'm going to buy more of the Berard line in different sizes and configurations now.
