'Give It a Rest' Bamboo Slotted Spoon

Our bamboo ‘Give it a Rest’ slotted spoon is the ultimate answer to the question of where to put it. This bamboo oval-shaped spoon has a small patented bump (a unique characteristic of how bamboo grows) on its back that keeps the spoon from touching the surface when set on counters and stoves. Each slotted spoon is made from a single piece of USDA certified organic bamboo, hand-burnished to a naturally smooth finish.

The ‘Give it a Rest’ bamboo slotted spoon is a combination of a spoon rest and a kitchen slotted spoon. This patented design elevates the spoon head off the counter, leaving your surfaces splotch-free.

— 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.
