Quite simply, these materials just aren\u2019t suited for the chronic rigors of cooking and cleaning. Personally I find it irritating, not to mention a waste of resources and money, to constantly replace them as they inevitably chip, crack, deform, melt, etc. <\/p>\n<p>Epicurean makes a lesser-known line of kitchen utensils using the same wood composite material as their popular cutting boards. I don\u2019t want to wade into the fiery debate of whether their cutting boards are good or bad for your knives, but I will attest the material makes for excellent utensils: rigid, non-porous, stain and heat-resistant, safe for nonstick cookware, and dishwasher safe. The angled turner and small spoon I bought a year ago still look and function as new. I don\u2019t worry about little pieces breaking off into my food when I scrape pots and pans, or melting if they\u2019re left on a hot stovetop. Tomato sauce washes right off without staining. <\/p>\n<p>If I toss everything into the sink at once to soak, even overnight, they won\u2019t swell or crack. They\u2019re available in 3 colors and made in the USA. Up front they\u2019re slightly more expensive than &#8220;regular&#8221; utensils, but like so many things in life you get what you pay for. I definitely feel they\u2019ve made cooking more pleasurable and cleaning less of a chore; my only complaint is I wish I had discovered them years ago.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like wood, but won\u2019t crack or split<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35870"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35870"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35870\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35872,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35870\/revisions\/35872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
