'Give It A Rest' Bamboo Utensil Set

Sure, you could use the same cooking utensil for every type of meal prep, but why should you? Really, how much space do a few utensils really take up?

Enter the ‘Give It a Rest’ utensil set, which comes with a spatula, spoon, slotted spoon, and risotto spatula, all hand-crafted from single pieces of bamboo. The best part? Each utensil has a unique, patented bump on the back of it, right beneath the head of the spoon. This built-in spoon rest keeps broths, gravies, sauces, and other liquids from sullying clean counters or stovetops. Never again do you need to hunt around for that spoon rest during the hectic chaos of feeding a family, or tear apart the dishwasher looking for it before a party begins. Now, utensil and rest are a package deal.

In addition to being the ultimate answer to the question of where to put it, the 12-inch ‘Give It a Rest’ utensil set is also darned good for the environment. Made from FSC®-certified 100% bamboo, these hand-shaped and smoothly finished spoons and spatulas neither impart nor absorb cooking flavors. Because they’re formed from a single piece, they also don’t leave behind glue or other residues in your food. And they won’t scratch cooking surfaces, so you never need to worry about where you set them down.

Size: 12" each

Set includes one each 'Give it a Rest' Spatula, Spoon, Slotted Spoon, and Risotto & More.

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.

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.
