Olive Wood cooking Spatula | Made in Kenya

This Handcrafted Kenyan Olive Wood Cooking Spatula is the perfect blend of minimalist design and rugged durability. Carved from the dense heartwood of East African olive trees, it features a sleek, straight-edged head that is ideal for both scraping and flipping.

The high oil content of olive wood makes this tool naturally resistant to liquids and odors, ensuring it remains a centerpiece in your kitchen for years.

Key Features

• Artisan Kenyan Craftsmanship: Hand-carved by skilled artisans using sustainable woodworking traditions passed down through generations.

• Premium Olive Wood: Highly durable hardwood with a striking, high-contrast grain that makes every spatula a one-of-a-kind piece.

• Straight-Edge Design: The flat leading edge allows for superior contact with the pan, perfect for deglazing and scraping up browned bits (fond).

• Heat Resistant & Safe: Unlike plastic or silicone, olive wood won't melt or leach chemicals. It is also naturally gentle on non-stick, ceramic, and cast-iron surfaces.

• Ergonomic Handle: A slim, comfortable handle designed for easy maneuvering and a lightweight feel.

  Primary Uses

  While versatile, this specific shape excels at:

  • Sautéing: Ideal for stirring vegetables and browning meats.

  • Scraping: The flat edge is perfect for ensuring nothing sticks to the bottom of your skillet.

  • Flipping: Great for pancakes, omelets, and smaller cuts of meat.

  • Mixing: Sturdy enough to handle thick batters or heavy sauces.

    Care Instructions

    To maintain the integrity and luster of the olive wood:

    1. Hand Wash Only: Clean immediately after use with warm water and mild soap. Do not put in the dishwasher.

    2. Dry Thoroughly: Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Never leave the spatula soaking in water.

    3. Season Regularly: Every few weeks, apply a light coat of food-grade mineral oil or beeswax. This prevents the wood from drying out and enhances the natural grain.

    4. Store Safely: Keep in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
