What is recommended cleaning procedure for bamboo wooden spoon?
1078067
The recommendation is to wash all wooden utensils by hand with a standard dish detergent. Our previous bamboo spoon (different manufacturer) actually split after it was accidentally washed in the dishwasher.

I have had mine for about a year, and wash them by hand, hot soap and water, then air dry, and they are doing fine. I don't put any of my wood utensils in the d/w.

This bamboo spoon can be cleaned with soap and water. Some people even put them in the dishwasher. They are strong sturdy spoons.

I always wash mine by hand, just seems smart when items have wood handles. :)

hi, hot water and vinegar, and you can use a small brush, shake with te hot water and the vinegar. do not use soap

Take a cloth or paper towel soaked in vinegar and wipe it out really good. The acid in the vinegar will clean the soap out of it.I clean mine in the top rack of the dishwasher, and that doesn't leave a soapy taste. You might try not using soap at all, just soak in very hot water, if you don't have a dishwasher. Be sure not to use abrasive pad to clean it either. That can damage the surface.

Soak it in warm soapy water or use a little Goo Gone and wash them well afterward.

Just got it a few days ago. Not sure how helpful this is, but immediately after using, I typically rinse the areas that would have come in contact with food, then dry with a towel. I suppose you could fit a damp/soapy q-tip behind the cutting blade if something got really stuck in there, then rinse lightly and dry. As someone already suggested, a small brush or even toothbrush seems like a good idea.

Wipe clean with damp cloth between baking. Every once in a while clean in sink with warm soapy water when needed

I have never personally researched cleaning methods for wooden cutting boards. I do cut meat on a plastic cutting board and everything else on the wooden one. I simply wash with soap and warm water and keep it oiled once a month. So far, I am really happy with it

I seasoned it with peanut oil and cooked the oil in the empty wok until it smoked. Don't use soap to clean it. Rinse with water and wipe dry, then rub it down with oil soaked towel. I store mine in a plastic bag.

I just hand wash it with hot water and detergent. Rinsing with water prior to washing helps remove meat scraps. It cleans up pretty easily.

I believe there were pretty specific instructions that came with my wok. Essentially, soak with hot water and a little dish soap. After it cools, scour lightly with non-abrasive pad, rinse and dry.

All wooden boards, and utencils, should be cleaned before initial use. Use a mild dish soap and make sure that the board does not absorb too much water as it may warp. After the initial cleaning, the board should be oiled to keep the wood from drying out, cracking, and warping. How often to oil is dependent upon how often it is used. I have never heard of a board being oiled too much. It may not always need it, though. The oil also helps food matter from being trapped in the wood, making the board unsanitary. Cleaning by using flour and scraping is good, but if you are worried about the board being sanitary, you should wash it, let it dry completely, and oil when necessary.

The finish is natural unfinished wood. The wood is poreous which I believe absorbs the water, expands under the dishwasher steam and results in cracking. I don't know what type of wood it is but I do know that after the first dishwasher washing the spatula cracked on me. Other buyers have had the same problem The regular spoon has held up so far. Have not used the sieved spoon yet. The best wooden cooking utensils in my opinion are the bamboo utensils. They are naturally water resistant and are dishwasher safe. The Calphalon plastic utensils are great. No problem with them. But if you want Calphalon wood wash them by hand. Hope this helps

absorb no, my wife cooks and I clean. When she does the raw chicken and beef on the bambo cutting boards the juices wash off easily. I am a bit anal when it comes to the bacteria so it's very hot water, bacteria soap. Some times bleach if the board has been left out for awhile. Like all cutting boards after heavy or long time usage knife grooves happen but that's what's so impressive with the hard wood bamboo which we have had several months now. Those knife marks are not there as far as our eyes can see, maybe under a microscope you may see scratches. So that's my opinion and i'm stickin to it. absorb no, my wife cooks and I clean.

I have not put in dishwasher. I have always been told to never put bamboo in dishwater, hand wash only.

So far I just wash it out with soap and water but plan to run vinegar water thru it soon. Haven't had it that long.

There is metal in the spoon so no microwave! I just wash it with soap and water. I suppose you can run it through the dishwasher also.
