Non Toxic Kitchen Utensils for Cooking
Utensils
Whether you are looking for a wood cutting board or utensils, wood requires special care and washing. You can't put wood in your dishwasher because it will warp and crack the wood. Get comfy with good ole' fashioned soap and water hand washing.
When it comes to purchasing wood utensils, the vast majority are oiled an sealed with petroleum derived mineral oil. If, like me, you wan to avoid mineral oil, there are a handful of US made wooden utensils that use safe alternatives or you can buy raw wood and oil it yourself with a plant based wood oil or wax.

Field makes the very best cherry wood utensils and finishes them with a coat of beeswax, tung oil, and citrus peel oil. Truly a work of art and made in the U.S. These are also shaped perfectly and so easy to use. It doesn't get better than Field, but you will pay a premium for them.
Full transparency: My -ish is that I mostly use platinum silicone utensils so I can through them in the dishwasher.
