Wooden Spoons - Dress Up Your Kitchen & Photos!
Sometimes you need to take a step back in life and appreciate the small things. Smallness that brings in joy and beauty - like wooden spoons do to a kitchen. I started using them mainly on my non-stick cookware but now I use them with pretty much any cookware. They are handy, easy to maintain and add a special touch to your food pictures.
Here's an example of that. Sala's gorgeous picture of her disposable wooden spoons, priced at 99cents (USD) for a pack of 6 from the World Market.
This pretty looking stack was sent by Mriganayani. Here's what she has to say about her collection. "No matter what kind of pan I use, I always use wooden spoons for cooking and stirring and scraping. I bought some of these from the shops in Guruvayoor temple when I visited there last time. The container that holds these is actually a wooden pickle jadi with a cover. But, I love to use this as a wooden spoon holder! They stay on my counter and look pretty. Each of these wooden spoons cost about Rs. 15 each. And the base was about Rs.600".
Here's a picture from my archives of Tomato Spinach Pulao featuring the coconut shell bowl and fork (the spoon is missing in the pic) that I bought for about Rs. 50 a pair.

ReplyDeleteHi Nags,
ReplyDeleteI like to use wooden spoons while cooking and so it has gone old and I bought a new one. Problem is,it has this odour of wood and is quite bad. Do you have any suggestion of how to get rid of it?
Hello Nimi, I have had this problem once. Washing the ladle in warm, soapy water helped. Soak it for about 10 mins before washing and see if that helps. Don't soak too long and make sure you dry it well, preferably in the sun. If you live in a very humid place, this problem may persist.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nags for the suggestion and I did try this and I think it is better.Sorry for delayed reply!
