Wooden spoons have a number of advantages over metal ones.
Thus, wooden cutlery does not heat up, even if it is in boiling liquid for a long time.
In addition, wooden spoons do not pose any danger to Teflon-coated pans.
Also, don't forget about the environmental friendliness of the material from which the cutlery is made.
However, wooden spoons also have their disadvantages. Firstly, they are not so easy to clean. At least, not all types of cleaning agents can be used.
Secondly, wooden devices easily absorb unpleasant odors.
In general, wooden spoons become unusable quite quickly.
Fortunately, the situation can be fixed. Wooden cutlery can be easily “refreshed” without resorting to expensive products.
The wooden implements should be placed in a large pot and filled with water. The filled pot should be placed on the stove.
The spoons should be in boiling liquid for 5-7 minutes.
Next, the cutlery should be taken out. There is no need to wipe it with anything: the utensils should dry "themselves". Preferably in the sun.
The above procedure will return the spoons to their original appearance and rid them of unnecessary “aromas”.
