Joyce Chen 3-Piece Burnished Bamboo Stir-Fry Set

Product Description:
3 Piece, Burnished Bamboo Kitchen Tool Set, Includes 9" Rice Paddle, 12" Mixing Spoon & 12" Stir Fry Spatula.

Amazon.com Review:
In today's rapidly changing world, using renewable resources makes sense, even in the kitchen. Joyce Chen's burnished bamboo utensils are not only earth-friendly, but beautiful and practical. Bamboo, a grass, grows quickly to harvestable size and is considered an environmentally-sound replacement for slow-growing trees. Stronger than wood, the tools in this set won't scratch nonstick surfaces and are so tough they won't swell, split, or absorb moisture like wood can. Moreover, these are dishwasher-safe. The burnished honey color comes not from a stain but from oven-roasting, which caramelizes the bamboo's naturally occurring sugars.

Designed for stir-frying, this three-piece set includes a 9-inch rice paddle, 12-inch mixing spoon, and 13-inch stir-fry spatula, each with a hole for hanging. All are safe to use on any nonstick surface. Joyce Chen produces an impressive range of burnished bamboo kitchen tools and cutting boards, along with traditional woks and Asian-style cutlery for the dedicated home chef. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

Rating: - Excellent set for healthy cookware
People complain about these kitchen tools because they are difficult to clean. This is durable wood, and you can run it through the dishwasher, but consider washing them as soon as you are finished using them.
Rating: - Works well
I bought these because I was tired of scratching up the wok with a stainless steel spatula.The spoons work very well, are sturdy, and the spatula does not scratch the wok.Exactly what I wanted. I bought two, and will replace them with the same thing when (if) they wear out.
Rating: - Perfect for those who can't stand the feel of a wooden spoon!
I bought these mainly because I can't stand the feel of a wooden spoon after it's washed a few times.It's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me ... popsicle sticks, wooden spoons ... ugh.

These utensils can be washed in the dishwasher and always stay just as smooth as when you receive them.
Rating: - Think again. These are very thin pieces.
I don't mind thin wooden utensils, but these are very thin and smaller than I thought they'd be, which suggests they won't last long before they need to be replaced. I can buy better at Wal-Mart, sadly. Joy has let us down with this set. Skip it and find better.
Rating: - Basically 3 Bamboo Spoons
They're lovely, don't get me wrong, but they are essentially 3 bamboo spoons of various sizes or thickness'. I wish I'd seen more picture of the actual utensils and not just a pic of the packaging--you know so we know exactly what we are getting.
