KIM HOVELL Salad Utensils

Yes, the acacia wood construction is gentle and won't scratch delicate surfaces like glass, ceramic, or enamel bowls, making them a safe choice for any serving dish.

To preserve the wood, hand wash these utensils with mild soap and warm water, then dry them immediately. Avoid soaking them or putting them in the dishwasher, and occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood from drying out.

At 10 inches long, these are standard serving size. They provide enough leverage for tossing and serving, though they are best suited for medium-to-large salad bowls rather than extra-deep catering-sized containers.

The pewter shell motif is primarily decorative and integrated into the handle. It adds a bit of weight and texture, but the acacia wood handles are shaped to provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip for everyday serving.

While designed for salads, acacia wood is heat-resistant. You can use them for pasta or other warm dishes, but avoid leaving them resting in a hot pot or pan for extended periods to prevent warping or damage to the finish.
