Littledeer Wooden 12” Pot Scoop

This unique tool’s shape was inspired by a canoe paddle, with a straight grain and open-ended blade. Its flat edge can squeegee food easily from the sides of your pot and the curved interior side can hug the sides and bottoms of bowls. Plus, it’s narrow enough to work into the tight corners of a can and hefty enough to beat batter or mix dense bread dough. And the oval-shaped handle adds extra strength and is available in right and left-hand orientations. Plus, the strong and stunning maple wood is heat-safe, non-abrasive and therefore safe for enamel, glass, clay, and nonstick.

The slightly rough texture means it’s in need of an oiling. Oiling wooden tools is part of the normal and proper maintenance routine and prevents warping, cracking and splintering.
