Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Large Wooden Spoon
Customer Review: still have it
Summary: 3 Stars
We've had it for about 3 years with no problems. However, it does not tend to get as much use as our other wooden spoons.Customer Review: Broke after a year
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm not sure how long these are expected to last, but mine broke about a year after purchasing. Shattered into several pieces while stirring a soup.Customer Review: Completely Wrong Material
Summary: 1 Stars
As a serious amateur woodworker who has also studied the design and building of wooden boats, let me say that beechwood is by far one of the inferior materials one could choose for making wooden spoons. Olivewood is by far the superior material for this sort of common yet critical kitchen tool. Should you doubt this, please visit the kitchens of France, Italy and Spain to see what's stirring the pot.
Additionally, fabricating the spoon by gluing multiple pieces together is a lesson in engineering failure. It violates the most basic principles of woodworking. Wood, because it is made by nature and not man is not uniform. Wood not only expands and contracts as it heats and cools, but also as it draws up moisture and dries. Multiple pieces equals multiple rates of expanding and contracting, working against the glued joint.
While Oxo makes and sells some very fine kitchen tools (I have a vegetable peeler by them that's the best I've ever owned and it's about a decade old), this is sure not among them.
A product to avoid.
Customer Review: Buy, but only if you need firewood.
Summary: 1 Stars
I really should have read the reviews before I wasted a cent on this spoon. I hand washed it because I wanted to keep it in great shape. It wasn't many months after I bought it, that it split down the middle. I thought it was made of one piece of wood, and maybe so, but nevertheless, it split. It went into my pile of wood for my firepit. I honestly went to the Goodwill store and came across one of the old, solid wooden spoons and bought one for 25 cents that surely will far surpass the life of this junk. OXO, how could you have failed so badly on this one???Customer Review: Not like my old oxo spoon
Summary: 1 Stars
I have an oxo spoon I bought a couple of years back. It's a well-made heavy spoon. But when I recently went to buy more as gifts, I discovered oxo has since thrown quality out the window. Their spoons are now made of several pieces of wood glued together--just like so many other cheap wooden spoons for sale nowadays which usually crack after a few uses. If this is what you want, just go to your local discount store. But if quality if what you're after, you'll have to look elsewhere.
