*The maximum score is 100 points
We really enjoyed testing the Goldenberg cooking spoon set. The two olive wood cooking spoons fit very well in the hand thanks to the thicker and bevelled handle and are easy to clean after use. The spatula has a thinner, angular handle. The workmanship is very good and the quality of the olive wood is high. The very smooth surface of the set contributes to the pleasant handling. As this is a natural product, the grain of the cooking utensils varies, but this is completely normal.
The wooden spoon set has a very high-quality feel, is climate-neutral and is manufactured in Germany. Like all wooden items, it should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. It is better to wash it briefly by hand.
All in all, a great product that combines an appealing look, practical functionality and environmental friendliness.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Appropriate | 90 points |
| Rating cut | Not rated, as there are still too few customer reviews | |
| Total | 90 points |

Prices of up to €30.00 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €19.98. The Goldenberg spatula is currently in the upper price segment with a price of €28.99. The price ratio is reasonable for the quality and scope of the product.
