Product Description

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

Product Description
Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1958. She found that the selection and quality of Chinese cookware in America didn't live up to her high standards… so she developed her own. Today, Joyce Chen Products sources from all over the Pacific Rim to bring the best of Asia to you. This 3 piece Burnished Bamboo Stir Fry Tool Set includes three popular tools for making a delicious stir fry meal -- 9" Rice Paddle, 12" Mixing Spoon, and 13" Stir-Fry Spatula. Bamboo is stronger than wood and will not swell, split or absorb moisture. Bamboo is perfect for non-stick surfaces and is an abundant renewable resource. These Burnished Bamboo tools are oven-roasted to caramelize the naturally occurring sugars in the wood, which results in a beautiful honey color.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wok and Roll!!!, July 25, 2006

By	Susan M. Franklin "imlugan" (Chicago, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received this yesterday. They are very sturdy and well made. I used one piece to stir fry last night and was very pleased. It also cleaned up easy. I am very impressed with the weight and quality of each piece. This particular set (in a clear plastic box) is treated wood. The price is very much worth what you get.

I purchased a similar Joyce Chen cooking utensil set from Bed Bath & Beyond - this set came in a red nylon-string type bag. Same price, but the wood on these utensils is bare.

I prefer the Amazon set and if you're looking for wooden utensils for any of your cookware - not just your wok - I recommend these!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Basically 3 Bamboo Spoons, February 12, 2009

By	M. Spencer "Kitty" (Ky) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wok Tools, February 12, 2007

By	S. Eaton (Atlanta Ga.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These tools for the Wok are of very high quality. Made of bamboo and sealed with some kind of varnish material. I'm am proud to own them and to show them off to my friends. They exceeded my expectations for quality of workmanship.
