Wooden spoons are popular for their gentle feel in the mouth, and this product is even easier to hold. The handle has a triangular cross-section, which makes it easy to hold and easy to put your fingers on.
The gently curved shape also makes it easy to scoop up food and carry it in the mouth.
The width of the food scoop is narrower and longer to make it easier to eat without having to open your mouth wide.

Care

• Handwashing: Wash lacquerware by hand using warm water and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, as they can scratch the lacquer surface.

• Drying: after washing, dry the lacquerware thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid air-drying, as prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the lacquer finish.

• Avoid extreme temperatures: keep lacquerware away from extreme temperatures, as they can cause the lacquer to crack or warp. Do not use lacquerware in the microwave, dishwasher, or oven.

• Avoid direct sunlight: exposure to direct sunlight over time can cause the lacquer finish to fade or yellow. Store lacquerware in a cool, shaded area when not in use.

• Avoid harsh chemicals: avoid contact with harsh chemicals, such as bleach or strong solvents, as they can damage the lacquer finish.
