Types of Cooking Spoons
Spatula: Round Edge
Rounded Spatulas are great for moving around a skillet for scrambled eggs, sauteing, or stirring gravies and soups. Also stirs brownie mixes nicely in a bowl. Spatula: Wok
Wok Spatulas are great for skillets, stir fry, sauteing, stirring in bowls for pasta salads. They have a good flip edge good for turning veggies and meats, scrambled eggs. The large edge moves food around the skillet, pot or bowl easily.
Flat Edge Spoon
Flat Edge Spoons are a good choice for overall sauteing and serving. Chris made the bowl of the spoon deep enough to hold sauce. The flat edge keeps food from sticking to skillets and pots. They really look nice when serving meals, especially in pottery dishes! Handles do not get hot when serving hot foods. The bowl depth varies by spoon.
Types: Angled Edge Spoon - good for all skillets; Flat-Top Spoon - for deep pots. | Spatula: Flat Top
Flat Top Spatulas with a flat edge are great for larger pots and skillets. The flip edge is good for stirring roux, gravy, chili, heavy sauces, cake mixes, and browning meats. Spatula: Angled Top
Angle Top Spatulas are wonderful for moving more while stirring or sauteing because of the larger edge that touches the skillet or pot. The edges are sharp to get under and manipulate the food. Rounded Spoons
Rounded Spoons are wonderful for cooking in shallow or deep pots; stirring and serving.
These are our more traditional types of spoons, but ours have interesting color and wood grains. The unique handles vary by spoon making each one special for our unique cooks who use them! Heads of spoons vary from narrow to wide; bowl depth varies from shallow to deep. The edges of all spoons are thin for ease of stirring and serving. Use the smaller rounded spoons (serving spoons) for serving at the table for corn, peas, potato salad, sauces, dips, oatmeal, or grits. These are also wonderful for cooking in smaller pots and pans. |
Other Kitchenware
Small Scoops
Small Scoops are great for canisters of coffee, sugar, flour, brown sugar.
We use these to serve tuna or chicken salad, or ice cream. The handle lengths and shapes vary greatly. Some customers collect these for a display in the kitchen. Look for new designs that Chris creates! | Muddlers
Muddlers are the crushers of the kitchen! Many customers use these tools on lemons/limes when making lemonade or mixed drinks.
Muddlers are most famous for gently bruising mint when mixing with sugar for a Mojito! Ladies in Houston use muddlers to crush garlic to add to their seasoning for dry rubs for meat... yumm! |
Rolling Pins
Rolling Pins are here! Chris finally decided to handmake, (not on a lathe!!) the rolling pins. He loves to use different handles on the ends of each rolling pin. Sizes vary of course.
Great for rolling out pastry dough, biscuits, dumplings, cookies, or for use as kitchen protection!! Spreading Knives
Spreading Knives are great for spreading butter, mayo, mustard, peanut butter, tuna salad, pate, cream cheese, or for use with cheese balls.
They cut deli bread sandwiches are are good for cleaning up indoor grilling appliances. I use mine as pastry cutters, (cutting the butter into the flour mixture) when baking. Lengths vary, some blades are 6-7 inches long. The larger versions are used by many cake decorators to apply frosting to cakes. | Ladles
Ladles are the most difficult to create. Like all of his spoons and kitchenware, they begin with a single block of wood. but these are really big blocks of wood! Chris works to carefully remove the non-ladle parts. The type of wood determines the price; some woods are much harder to work, thus are more labor intensive. Some woods are more difficult to obtain.
Personal Cutting Boards
Personal Cutting Boards are plentiful in my kitchen. Fantanstic for chopping an onion, avacado, tomato, lime, lemon, apple, orange, persimmon, and cheese.
I also use mine to serve sandwiches on, serve clusters of grapes, sushi, small cheese balls, or cheese and crackers. These are also good for coaster, trivet and spoon rest. Handy in any kitchen. They are available in most woods that Chris works. Great gift when paired with a wooden spreading knife that matches the woods or with contrasting woods. |
Cooking Paddles or Pizza Paddles
Cooking Paddles are made for the serious cook with a big pot! Around here cooks use them for Jambalaya, chili, gumbo and stirring the pot for the famous south Louisiana crawfish, crab or shrimp boils!
The paddles can be used as a Pizza Paddle, to remove the pizzas from the rack after cooking.
Versions of this paddle have been used to get fish off of the grill when cooking outdoors.
