Holding wooden spoon - so you do not break off wantonly - for a lifetime. They are very handy and also to handle very well with wet hands. Can easily survive even prolonged contact with the highly heated pot bottom - unlike those made of plastic. Sink my wooden spoon for decades in the dishwasher - because they look after rinsing again like new.
Still unbeatable is the very favorable price !!! Here the wooden spatula is unbeatable.
