This review is from: Calphalon 3-Piece Wood Utensil Set (Kitchen)
Sometime I struggle about product reviews. Not so much about how to describe them, but how to rate them in term of numbers of star. Should a superb $30 wooden spoon be rated higher than a $1 mediocre spoon? (As a matter of fact, I do have a $1 wood spoon and have seen wood spoons cost more than $50 a piece) Ultimately, I examine my overall attitude toward the purchase, so I do consider both the cost and the quality of the products.
This utensil set was sold for $9.99 and I bought it as part of the 4-for-3 promotion, so I paid less than $9 for three wooden utensils -- extremely affordable. In term of quality, they don't seem to be as good as the ones sold by Oxo, but the Oxo ones are more expensive. Of the three utensils, the slotted spoon is of the poorer quality (in my case anyway). The slotted spoon is made of rougher and porous wood. It cracked slightly (1/8th inch) after its first use. It has "healed" itself after contraction. I have only used it once since and it has not cracked the second time. I simply don't have the need for the slotted spoon often and have not tried it often. The solid spoon is nice. It has not cracked or splintered. In fact, the solid spoon has survived the break-in period and developed a very smooth surface. The turner is mostly used for sautee and stir-fry, so it has not seen much water and of course has not cracked or splintered. The solid spoon is 10-3/4" in length. The slotted spoon and turner are 11-1/2" in length. I have owed this set since March, 2009 and am updating this review on Dec, 2009. On quality alone, I would only give this Calphalon wood utensil set a 3-star score because the wood quality is average (average as in average, not average as in bad). As a whole, I am giving it a 4-star rating because it is very affordable. For disclosure, all three utensils have been treated with mineral oil, beeswax or tung oil before their first use. *Update Jun 26, 2010* Nothing has changed. I am still using all three utensils. They are all working fine, no crack and no splinter. The slotted spoon still looks rougher than the other two.

This is defiantly a nice set of wooden utensils, although I expected them to be larger for some reason. I guess I had that pictured in my head from ones that I have seen in the stores. I like this set because it is hard to find the spoons that are curved in as much as they are and you do not normally find the flat utensil without slits. Nice set. I look forward to using these more in my new cookwares set!

Great set,
This review is from: Calphalon 3-Piece Wood Utensil Set (Kitchen)
This is a great, basic set of utensils. What can one say about them? They're wooden utensils, strictly functional. However, I really like the spoons because they curve in much deeper than your typical wooden spoons that you find in any given store. When I am sampling a sauce or broth right out of the pot, it isn't spilling over the edges as if it were on a flatter surface. Very nice rounded set for a great price.
