When properly cared for, your bamboo kitchen utensils can last for years to come (in fact, our founders have a set that has been in use since 2003). Follow these tips for best results:

  • Hand wash in hot, soapy water, then wipe dry
  • Revive the natural shine of your bamboo utensils with an all-natural oil
  • Smooth away any signs of wear by lightly sanding your utensils with a fine grain sandpaper
  • Not recommended for dishwasher or prolonged soaking
  • Not recommended for use in the microwave

We recommend using Bambu Finishing Oil to care for your bamboo. For more care and cleaning information, read our Bamboo Utensil Care 101 blog post.

Want to know just how long your bamboo utensils can last? Read this.

At Bambu, everything we make is designed with its end-of-life in mind. By choosing plant-based, renewable materials, we’ve ensured that a clean life cycle is possible for every Bambu product.

With proper care, our hand-finished utensils can last for decades. Even when you may think your utensils are on their way out, remember that bamboo can be completely refinished. After a light sanding and some finishing oil, you’ll be amazed by how refreshed they look. To learn exactly how to care for and refinish your utensils, explore our utensil care guide.

Our bamboo utensils are 100% certified USDA Biobased certified. That means these utensils can be safely discarded with yard debris. We recommend checking with your local service center to ensure that they accept this item. If it’s not accepted locally, consider using a service such as Ridwell to properly dispose of this item.

Customers praised this bamboo rice paddle as "high quality" and "perfectly shaped," noting it's lightweight, durable, and doesn't scratch rice cookers. Many appreciate it as a non-toxic alternative to plastic paddles. Rice doesn't stick as much compared to plastic. Easy to clean. One customer noted rice sticks when spreading for sushi rolls, requiring plastic paddle use.

Top quality

I am in love with all the Bambu products. The wood is high quality. I am so glad I can have great kitchen utensils without the toxins. I have tried a couple other wooden spoons and the quality is no where close to what Bambu delivers. I ended up getting their collection as gifts as well.

Best for rice

I make a lot of rice in my rice cooker. This bamboo paddle (I call it a scooper) works great. It is easy to clean with soap and water, dry it, apply a small dab of finishing oil. It still looks brand new.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our bamboo paddle! We really appreciate it

Great rice paddle

It's lightweight, durable, and the perfect tool for fluffing and serving rice. The natural bamboo material doesn’t scratch my rice cooker and is super easy to clean. I’ve noticed rice doesn’t stick as much compared to plastic paddles, which is a huge bonus. Plus, it has a beautiful, minimalist look that fits right in with my kitchen aesthetic. Highly recommend if you cook rice often.

Thank you for your kind words about our rice paddle, Grace!

Excellent bamboo rice paddle!

Great bamboo rice paddle made from a single piece of bamboo. Scoops just as good as the plastic one without scratching our rice cooker. The strap on the bottom seems unnecessary though. Just gets wet when washing and oiling.

Hi Ginelle! We're delighted to hear you're loving our bamboo rice paddle. We'll take your feedback about the strap into consideration for future designs. Thank you for your support!

A most excellent rice paddle

The Bambu rice paddle is very good. It works much better than my old wooden paddle. I use this thing for spreading the sushi rice for making sushi.

Excellent Little Scoop

Finally got rid of our old plastic scoop with this healthy alternative. Took a while to be back in stock but in the end it was worth the wait. Perfectly shaped and easy to handle; a welcome addition to our kitchen!

Bye bye plastic . . . almost

We eat a lot of rice, so have used this almost daily since we got it 2 months ago. It's great for dishing out our jasmine rice or my son's famous Spanish rice. The only occasion that we go back to our plastic paddles is for spreading rice on our nori for sushi rolls. The rice sticks too much to the bamboo.

Hello Benjamin! Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our bamboo rice paddle. We're delighted to hear that it has become a staple in your kitchen!

Perfect Non-Toxic Rice Paddle

Exactly what I needed for a nontoxic swap to the traditional plastic rice paddle! I've had it for a few months now and it has held up well through normal use and the dishwasher.

Thanks Nicole! We are glad to hear you love your rice paddle :)
You can extend the life of it even longer by handwashing- sometimes the heat of the dishwasher can dry the bamboo out.

Perfect paddle for rice

Excellent purchase! Exactly what I was looking for. I purchase 3 to put in Xmas stocking because my daughters keep wanting to take mine -- mine was my grandmother's and I still use it almost every day! These new ones should last just as long as my old one has!

Hey Ted, thanks for the awesome review! We are thrilled to hear you love your rice paddle and that we were able to help make your daughters' Christmas special.

Replacement for the plastic rice spoons

I’ve always enjoyed the plastic rice spoons that come with rice makers. But the non stick pans and plastic spoons had me reconsidering my tools. This bamboo rice paddle deign is wonderful! A perfect toxic free replacement.
