 Completely Wrong MaterialApr 08, 2005
By Adam Sterling
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.

same problemDec 30, 2004
By archy
Bought two spoons and within 2 months both had split along the glue lines. The spoons were hand washed. Get spoons but I can't afford to replace them every two months.

 Essential ToolMay 27, 2005
By Al Chartreux
Looking at the criticisms of this spoon from other users, I can't help but wonder if OXO changed the manufacturing process for its wooden spoons, because the one that I own is definitely made from one piece of wood.
Any chef who is concerned about scratching nonstick cookware should own this spoon and the others in the OXO lineup. I use it with my steel surfaced cookware as well. This spoon is a pleasure to hold and stir sauces with. It definitely makes life easier in the kitchen.
Tip: to protect your spoon from cracking, apply some food-grade mineral oil and rub it in all over. Apply once a month or so to keep the wood protected and to prevent it from drying out, and your spoon will last a long time.

Not like my old oxo spoonMar 16, 2006
By A Looney Old Coot
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.

Same problem: split right awayApr 09, 2009
By C. Schulzke
We always hand wash our wooden spoons. The bowl of the spoon split after just a a few months.
