Signastyle Forge Tasting Spoons

No, these hand-forged mild steel spoons should be hand-washed and dried immediately to prevent rusting. Avoid soaking them in water, as the raw material is susceptible to oxidation.

While not strictly required, it is good practice to lightly coat them with a food-safe mineral oil after washing to maintain the finish and protect the steel. This helps preserve the pewter-toned patina over time.

The spoons are designed with an elongated profile specifically for reaching into deep pots and stock vessels. While exact dimensions vary slightly due to the hand-forged nature of the product, they are significantly longer than standard tasting spoons.

While they are primarily designed for tasting and sampling during the cooking process, their artisanal aesthetic makes them suitable for serving small condiments or garnishes. However, they are not intended for heavy-duty stirring or scooping large portions.

Because they are crafted from mild steel, prolonged contact with highly acidic ingredients can cause discoloration or a metallic taste. It is best to use them for quick sampling rather than leaving them submerged in acidic sauces.
