Brass Muddler - Long Spoon

Yes, brass is a living material that will naturally develop a patina with exposure to air and moisture. If you prefer a bright, polished look, you can periodically clean it with a brass-safe polish to restore its original shine.

This tool is designed primarily for mixing and light muddling of soft herbs or fruits. Because it is crafted from hand-hammered brass, it is best to avoid using it to crush ice or very hard ingredients to prevent potential denting or bending.

Hand wash the muddler with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents and high heat can damage the brass finish.
