{"product_id":"roses-olivewood-slotted-spoon","title":"Rose's Olivewood Slotted Spoon","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFor the jobs a solid spoon can't do — lifting poached eggs, boiled greens, gnocchi or olives clear of the water while the liquid falls away through the slots. At about 13 inches the handle keeps your hand well above the steam, and the slotted bowl drains as it lifts, so what lands on the plate isn't swimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eReach for a plastic slotted spoon instead and a little of it leaves with the food — heat and wear shed micro-fragments into what you're about to eat, the same microplastics now turning up in human blood, in the placenta, even in the brain. This won't: it's one solid piece of olive wood, nothing added, nothing coating it, nothing to leach into your food. It's naturally cleaner, too — a University of Wisconsin microbiologist showed decades ago that 99.9% of bacteria die on a wooden surface within minutes, while scratched plastic holds onto them in its grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIt won't melt or warp on the rim of a hot pot the way plastic does, and it's gentle on the cookware you paid good money for — no scratches on non-stick or enamel. It gives nothing back to your food: no plastic taste, no lingering odours, just wood. And no two are alike: the olive grain pools around the bowl and runs down the handle in ribbons of honey, amber and deep bronze — a pattern this tree spent a lifetime writing. The one you cook with will be only yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is olive wood in the Mediterranean tradition Rose's Olivewood was born from — a warm, lasting tool against a drawer full of throwaway plastic. A little oil now and then only deepens the grain with the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHand wash and dry — never the dishwasher; oil it when the wood looks dry.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rose Olivewood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53237928427856,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/6070\/8176\/files\/hf_20260709_085719_53761d1c-ffa8-494d-9628-755188a84738.png?v=1783587797","url":"https:\/\/rose-olivewood.com\/products\/roses-olivewood-slotted-spoon","provider":"Rose Olivewood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
