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.
