Product Information
Full details
The Primus Long Handle Spoon is an essential tool for backpackers, hikers, and campers who prioritize efficiency and convenience in their backcountry kitchen. Its primary benefit is the extended 178 mm reach, which allows users to stir pots and consume food directly from deep freeze-dried meal pouches without getting their hands messy or burnt; however, its rigid aluminum construction means it cannot be folded, which may take up more vertical space in some smaller packing configurations compared to collapsible alternatives.

FAQs
How long is the spoon handle?
The handle length is 178 mm, specifically designed to reach deep into meal pouches.
Is this spoon dishwasher safe?
Yes, the spoon is constructed from hard-anodised aluminum and is dishwasher safe.
Can I use this for cooking in a non-stick pot?
Yes, but exercise caution; while the edges are rounded, ensure you do not scrape forcefully against delicate non-stick coatings to preserve them.
Does the metal spoon conduct heat?
Aluminum is conductive, so be mindful if leaving the spoon inside a pot of boiling water for an extended period, as the handle may become warm.
Is this product BPA-free?
Yes, as a solid aluminum utensil, it contains no plastic or BPA.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn food residue sticking to the head
Soak the spoon in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before wiping with a soft cloth or sponge.
Bending of the handle during transport
While high-strength, the aluminum can bend under extreme pressure. Ensure the spoon is packed in an outer pocket or sleeve rather than at the bottom of a heavy pack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Primus Long Handle Spoon requires no setup; it is a "ready-to-use" utensil. Compatibility is universal, as it fits well with all standard backpacking cook systems and deep-fill food pouches. To maintain the spoon, wash it with warm water and mild soap after each use. While the product is dishwasher safe, hand washing in the field is sufficient given its smooth, non-porous surface. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads if you wish to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the anodised finish over years of use.
