    I oil my wooden spoons when I oil my wooden butcher block counter top. Boy can you tell a difference when they are done. But this is a great reminder to get it done!

    Thank you for showing us this, I regularly oil my cutting board but have never thought about my wooden utensils, will definitely be doing this regularly. 😊

    I am many decades older than you. I have always oiled my wooden cook tools. I use olive oil. I let them soak in a narrow cylinder. I do use a dishwasher on mine at and at times bleach to sanitize. Wood spoons today are far different than the ancient ones I use. I have one large one of unknown wood that I have my husband sand regularly. I think it is oak and has a raised grain.

      I did, they came out looking good too. Now the cheapy shop spoons look as good as the more expensive ones 😀 (if only everything in life could be made to look more expensive by just doing this to it).

      ​@@macf4426That's a great comment. That's why the word 'oiling' is also used as a coinage probably. Or the famous saying, 'Oil your own machine.' Oil is so useful in so many ways to uplift our life.

    This is the first video I've seen on this. I've oiled my wooden utensils since I received a wood cutting board and learned it needed oiled. I use Olive oil and actually soak them for a day or 2. Great video!

      Olive oil can go rancid after a while. Mineral oil from the drug store is best.

    Love my wooden utensils - they require maintenance and I don't use them for poultry or really any meat. Have one board for the Christmas rib roast - these wood board's are work. We went to France a few years ago - came back with some wood kitchen tools and when my husband broke the spoon (I took a deep breath) - I was mad and hid them and now, only for my use! Love your video's All the best.

      @Wilhelms Kitchen If you agree food grade mineral oil is a better solution and that coconut oil (if not most cooking oils) goes rancid, perhaps remove this video because you are then misinforming your viewers.

    New subscriber. I must admit I did not know to do this. Question: Does the oil attract dust if utensils are left in utensil holder on counter-top, and does the wood get sticky after a while? Please forgive me if this is a silly question.

    • @wholesome.heartfelt
      @wholesome.heartfelt  5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Hello and welcome
      No more then normal. Because the oil is absorbed into the wood. You need to wipe off any extra.
      It’s not a silly question.

    Hi, i just used coconut oil on my new beech spatula after i washed and dried it first. So after a couple of days, every time i touch the spatula my hands still come off greasy from it. Anybody have any tips to get rid of the greasiness?

    • @wholesome.heartfelt

      You have to buff in the oil.

    • @wholesome.heartfelt
      @wholesome.heartfelt  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh I think so.
      You can wash them with hot soapy water. Use a brush to help get it off.
      Only do this when the wood looks dry. If you spatula doesn’t look dry it will not absorb the oil.
