JOYCE CHEN Cooking Spoon

This is the kind of spoon that goes well with a brew (think more witch’s brew, less lager brew). That’s because it’s foot-and-a-half long burnished bamboo handle can safely reach the bottom of a cauldron-esque pot. With that kind of reach, this lightweight, heat- and moisture-resistant, eco-friendly tool might inspire appropriately vat-worthy meals. How about an authentic New Orleans-style gumbo? Or a black bean and sweet potato chili? If you’ve never boiled and baked your own bagels, then now is the time! Lastly, the burnished bamboo finish makes this mixing spoon especially resistant to heat and moisture. So when you’re all done casting vespers over simmering stews, simply stick the spoon in the dishwasher and call it (or ride off into) the night.
