OXO Good Grips Wooden Corner Spoon & Scraper | Corner Shape Scrapes Pot Edges, Safe for Non-Stick Cookware, Ideal for Stirring and Scraping, Hand Wash Only

Super great wooden spoon

As I've discovered cooking over the last 10 years I have also discovered the utensils that are indispensable, such as a sturdy wooden stirring spoon. Wood is stout but doesn't damage any cooking surfaces, impart any unwanted taste or leach unhealthful chemicals. I had been using a flat edged salad spoon for years until the tip got gnarly and ragged. I got stars in my eyes and bought a pricey Epicurean wood spoon with a flat, tapered handle, black piping and a round edge. I hated it from the moment I first used it. The handle was uncomfortable. Within 6 months, the black piping started chipping off. Last but not least, the rounded edge made it next to impossible to scrape browned bits, a feature I soon learned I loved about my old salad spoon. After doing some research I realized that what I wanted was a "scraping spoon". So for six bucks I took the plunge on this OXO. I am very happy. It’s comfortable in the hand, scrapes the bottom of a pan with ease, and the corner piece really does help scraping around the edges of pans. I also like that it has some depth to actually hold a fair amount of food/liquid for tasting and even serving. I’ve used it countless times in the last month and a half which is a good sign. I highly recommend this spoon.

As with many other one-star reviews on here, when I received my spoon it lasted roughly 5 minutes - I washed it and immediately it began to swell and crack, instantly becoming incredibly useful as kindling and not much else. But wait, you say, this is a 4 star review! And indeed it is, because rather than ask for a refund, I decided to give them another try since OXO had never failed me before this one tool. Indeed, when my replacement came, it was as sturdy a spoon as I could ask for, and has already survived a deep stockpot full of chili and a saucepan of my best alfredo sauce, multiple washings, and it still looks as lovely as the day I unpackaged it. If I had to guess, one of the machines responsible for sealing the wood in the factory where these are produced is probably faulty, and some of their spoons are not properly sealed. I definitely recommend buying one, just be advised that you may need to waste some time (Though not money! Thanks Amazon!) sending for a working replacement.

I love this sturdy beautiful spoon. It’s very comfortable and strong for stirring and breaking up the whole canned tomatoes against the side of the pot and for scooping out the sauce. It’s great for tasting the sauce while it’s cooking since the wood makes it cool quicker than a metal spoon, so it’s less likely to burn my mouth. The spoon developed 2 tiny splits after I left it soaking in the sink for several hours. I called OXO customer service and they are sending a new spoon. They said to let them know if it happens again. Excellent, easy to reach customer service!! They said that the splits should not have happened. I found that after the spoon completely dried, the tiny slits had closed. The spoon is very sturdy.

My old reliable wooden spoon finally died on me after 25 years...this has been a great replacement. The finish on the spoon disappeared after it's first bath in the dishwasher, but I've had no problems with splintering or cracking despite it being in the raw, so to speak. I did simply rub some olive oil on it. It is of a substantial size, nice heft, with a good size bowl to taste test soups, sauces, and stews. The angled end also makes it a great tool for sauteing. This is a reliable brand and will become a staple in your kitchen as it is in mine.

This is a great spoon for making caramel because it gets into the corner of the pan without scraping the sides.

Any kitchen item that America's Test Kitchen recommends, I purchase if I need to. I am never disappointed. This wooden spatula does what it's supposed to.

Olive & beechwood are the best woods for kitchen utensils & this spoon is no exception. I own other OXO wooden spoons & have had NO problems with splitting or cracking. However, it took about a week of slathering them several times a day with mineral oil for them to eventually reach their saturation point but this has kept them 'healthy' for years & I have gotten good service from them. I love using this spoon or the saute paddle for mixing bread & very thick cookie dough. It's sturdy & just perfect for the task!

Been using this spoon often over the last few months, sturdy, lightweight and holds up well. Would recommend. Might buy another one

De madeira, achei bastante robusta. Acabamento muito bom (não tem farpas).

Thick, seems durable. No complaints so far.

Good quality material

Solid, well made, good quality, not much else to add. It is a piece I’m sure I will be using for many years to come based on the solid single piece of wood construction.
