Wooden kitchen accessories | Citkhen Essentials |

                  

To create a beautiful, textured table, we always advocate mixing and matching materials for dinnerware, flatware, and serveware when constructing your dining collection. One of our favorite materials for the kitchen and dining room? Of course, there's wood. We adore it for its earthy, simple aesthetic and its numerous technical benefits. Cooking tools made of wood are tough, don't show scratches easily, and are gentle on non-stick pans. Everyone loves wooden kitchen accessories.

Because wood is non-reactive, you won't have to worry about leaving a metallic flavor as you may with steel kitchen tools. Wooden utensils don't conduct heat so that you can go a spoon in a slow-cooking sauce, and the wooden handle will never get hot. While not as easy to clean as silicone utensils, Wood tools have a naturally attractive aesthetic that will last for years if properly cared for.

We've compiled a list of our favorite wooden kitchen accessories, including spoons, spatulas, plates, and salad bowls. Continue reading for special wooden kitchen equipment that will add rustic style and a lovely modern farmhouse feel to your kitchen.

Nesting Bowls Made of Maplewood

These modest, artisan bowls are made from maple from Lake Michigan's shoreline. If you fill the bowls with salad mixed in oil-based dressing or rub them with flaxseed oil, beeswax, or carnauba oil after they've been finished with natural bee's oil, they'll stay supple. Nesting bowls are also great for storing items in a small space.
