Are these spoons treated with anything? I see there's no lacquer, but do they have any treatment at all?

Have no idea about any treatment on them. Got several sets to give as presents. Most were not well sanded and wanted to oil them with mineral oil. Hubby got slivers until he sanded every single piece!

I heard that some chopsticks from China are treated with carcinogenic chemicals. These are from China. Has the bamboo been treated? Or are they untreated?

The only thing that is on them when they arrive is olive oil I believe. Something that is needed every once in a while to keep them in good condition because they are all natural. Hand wash only. Hope this helps

Rub some natural mineral oil on them every couple of months. Don't wash them in the dishwasher and don't soak them in water. Wash them in mild dish soap, rinse them, and let them air dry.

Yes they are, we have washed ours in the dishwasher many times and they still look new. We love these measuring spoons.

Yes, the spoons are rustproof, but the ring clasp that holds them together is not. It can rust. I had to remove my clasp, since the dried rust stains started to collect on the spoons themselves. I think the manufacturer might want to consider a stainless clasp as well.

I can't tell what gauge they are. There are no marking on the spoons other than their size.

No, they will scratch the finish. I use melamine spoons and flat turners found in most kitchen stores.

The lacquer is only on the outside of mine. It is not apparent that they are lacquered until you've had them for awhile and they develop scratches.

I don't recall if they had lacquer on them but the first time to use one of the utensils it chipped off into the dish I was preparing. Poor quality. Save your $$. No response to my request to return them.

Hi Paolo- yes, these mugs have a lacquer coating which we apply to protect the shiny copper finish. Please let us know if you have other questions.

They have some sort of finish. I think it's varnish. If you don't like it a quick scrub with a piece of steel wool will take it off. I found that out after I accidentally let sweet and sour sauce dry on a pair. It didn't affect the chopstick that much.

I've had these spoons for a couple months now and use them everyday and put them in the dishwasher. I have yet to apply oil to them, and they are still in great shape. The color hasn't faded whatsoever. Eventually I'm sure I'll apply oil, but it hasn't seemed necessary yet.

Not unless you remove the protective coating from them. I believe there is a clear lacquer on them as a preventative.

Sorry, my spoons have WMF CHROMARGAN 18/10 engraving on the back and quality is high. We love them.

There was no paint/lacquer in what I received. Make sure to wash well before you use.

Hi, Not sure why the spoon looks like that. The spoons are beautiful. I love them and I am going to get more. I have purchased alot of spoons in the last 30 years and these are by far the best. You won't be sorry getting them, you will love them dee

I've had my set for a while now. I use them everyday. I wash them by hand and leave them on my dish drainer to air dry. They get no special treatment and still look good.

Good Morning-Thanks for your inquiry-The item is not lacquered. Its food safe. It might have some oil on it though.Please advise with any question-

I think it might be laser-etched. It isn't deeply stamped or anything, but there is a texture to it like something that has been laser-etched. Whatever it is, it seems to last. I ordered these and the progressive magnetic set at the same time, and the printed ink on the progressive set (which to be fair was half the price of the CIA set) has worn completely off my most used spoons since May 2012 when I got them. These look brand new.
