Test result preview
The large wooden cooking spoon from the Neustanlo brand is a huge cooking spoon that can be used for general cooking or as a mashing spoon.
The product impresses with its size – the spoon is 80 cm long and has a stirring surface that is 8 cm long and 10 cm wide.
The fact that this product is made of wood prevents the spoon from getting hot during cooking.
The wood used is natural, light-coloured wood. The fact that no other materials are used ensures that the wooden spoon cannot scratch the coating of the pans.
In practical tests, the cooking spoon impressed with its size and robustness. The generous dimensions are ideal for stirring large quantities and the handle of the spoon does not heat up during use.
The product could only be optimised in terms of packaging: The wooden spoon is packaged in plastic bubble wrap – it would be a good idea to check whether it would be possible to switch to more environmentally friendly alternatives .

The large wooden cooking spoonwas delivered in a cardboard box that was well suited to the size of the product.
The product is thickly wrapped in bubble wrap and therefore well protected. However, it would be worth considering whether it would be possible to switch to a more environmentally friendly packaging method that would protect the wooden spoon just as well.
No instructions for use were included with this product. However, this is not a problem as the product is self-explanatory .
