IMPROVE THE WAY YOU COOK
A most useful kitchen accessory, the wooden spoon, will do anything in cooking. Used in almost every recipe execution, it will last for a long period of time if we note these cleaning and maintenance tips!
When to use it
While boiling sauces, to mix pasta, salads, stews, to saute bacon, vegetables, but also to mix confectionery ingredients.
How clean is our wooden spoon?
With proper care, it will last over time and will survive every culinary adventure (be careful –if there are deep scratches, spikes, cracks, replace).
General cleaning
Wash with soapy water and leave to dry. It can be put in the dishwasher, but in that case it will wear out faster (may even bent). Wash it by hand immediately after use.
Wood protection
Spread oil (olive oil or almond oil) with the help of a towel, fold it in plastic film and leave overnight so that oil will be absorbed by the wood.
Disappearing smells
To sweep away bad odors, dip the spoon into baking soda and water (2 tablespoons of baking soda in 2 cups of warm water). Leave for 15-20 minutes and rinse well.
Smooth the surface
If it starts to peel or have spikes, we can smooth the wood surface using sandpaper.
And now that we know how to keep this useful kitchen utensil like new, let’s prepare delicious Horio recipes!
