FAQs
Can I use these spoons on cast iron pans?
Yes, they are safe to use on cast iron, though they are particularly recommended for non-stick surfaces where scratching is a concern.
How do I prevent the wood from staining?
While wood is naturally porous and may take on the color of spices like turmeric or tomato sauce, washing the spoon immediately after use will minimize deep staining.
Are these heat-resistant?
Yes, wooden spoons are excellent for cooking as they do not conduct heat like metal utensils, meaning the handle stays cool while you stir.
What should I do if the spoon starts to splinter?
If minor splintering occurs, use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth the area and then oil the wood to seal it.
Are these spoons BPA-free?
Yes, these are made of natural wood and do not contain BPA, chemicals, or synthetic coatings.
Troubleshooting
Spoon feels rough or dry after washing
Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil to recondition the wood.
Spoon has absorbed an odor from strong ingredients
Rub the surface with a slice of lemon or a paste made of baking soda and water, let sit for a few minutes, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Visible signs of warping
Warping is usually caused by excessive water exposure; ensure the spoons are not left submerged in water and always dry immediately after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Tala Wooden Spoon Set, simply rinse them with warm water before the first use. These tools are universally compatible with all types of cookware, including ceramic, PTFE-coated non-stick, cast iron, and stainless steel. To maintain the wood's longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Hand Wash Only: Never put these spoons in a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents will cause the wood to warp or split.
- Immediate Drying: After washing, dry the spoons thoroughly with a cloth rather than letting them air dry in a pool of water.
- Occasional Oiling: Periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to the wood to prevent it from becoming brittle.
- Storage: Store in a dry area away from direct heat sources to prevent moisture loss in the grain.
