Lasting Beauty!

I purchased this set in February 2008. It is November 2008 and my utensil set still looks as beautiful as it did when I first received it! I use them every day for each meal that I prepare and afterwards they are washed in lukewarm, soapy water, dried, and oiled with a dab of olive oil. There is no splitting of the wood or discoloration, even after all the use that they get in my kitchen. This is definitely a set worth every penny and with care, will last indefinitely. Highly recommended for the cook who wants quality and durability together!

Excellent utensils!

These are simply beautiful, especially the largest spoon. The olive wood is very nice and I would highly recommend this set. I use mine all the time. Care is easy. I wash them in hot water and soap, then rinse and dry immediately. I, then, oil them and lay them out to absorb the oil before putting them away. Highly recommended!

Money well spent to purchase a piece that embodies the idea of craftsmanship in cooking implements. I was tired of seeing inferior products in retail outlets. I was pleased that Chefs offers such quality products.

I purchased these... thinking that for the amount of money they should be great. After a couple weeks of use, I have seen a couple of the spoons start to fade. I wash them in warm water and hand wash. But I will come back and write more in a month.
But overall, its is an okay product.

Very well made wood utensils

Each piece is quite nicely made. Love olive wood.
Large spoon is beautiful, as are the two spatulas. Great on non-stick cookware. However, the two smallest spoons in the set are SMALL. Not sure I will ever use the very smallest one, which is a bit of a waste.
So, three of the utensils are great, one is okay, and one gets a "0" star, due to very small size. Maybe should have just bought the two spatulas and the largest spoon separately, rather than the full set.
Pros: quality, Functional/Useful
Cons: size

These are strong and beautiful pieces. Be sure to dry them thoroughly after washing. It's a good idea to moisturize them with oil once in a while. Olive oil or grapeseed oil will keep them in great shape.

BOUGHT 4. 2 FOR ME AND 2 FOR MY DAUGHTER. THOUGHT I WOULD START HER OFF WITH SPOONS THAT SHE WILL NEVER NEED TO REPLACE. I HAVE SPENT $$$ OVER THE YEARS TO REPLACE CRACKED SPOONS, BUT NO MORE. WELL WORTH THE EXPENSE FOR LIFETIME SPOONS

I am really enjoying this set. I especially like the curved shape of the spatulas, which make moving and turning the foods in the skillet so much easier.
I was disappointed that a price sticker was attached to the bowl of one of the spoons, and when it was removed, a sticky residue and a mark was left that so far has not gone away.

Best Wood Utensils Ever

This five-piece set covers all the basic needs, is very hand-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. All pieces perform excellently in copper, steel, ceramic and non-stick cooking vessels with no drag and no noise. Surprisingly, the spatula scrapes browned bits and fond far better than a thinner-edged silcone spatula. They are a pleasure to use.

Nice Olive Wood Utensils!

After years of having a set of bamboo cooking utensils I decided to try a set of utensils made of olive wood. They were a bit expensive, but since I keep them in a container that is visible on my kitchen counter it is nice to have kitchen tools that are so pretty. Surprisingly, there is a noticeable difference in how they feel in your hands when cooking with them versus using a bamboo tool. NICE! I bought the set, and highly recommend that you indulge yourself and get them too!

The olive wood utensils are almost too beautiful to use! The color, grain, feel and lovely "France" logo make these utensils the most attractive utensils I own. I find them easy to clean and will never put them in my dishwasher! They deserve tender loving care.

These are in such constant use in my kitchen, that I'm surprised ever to find them dry. They're made of beautiful olive wood, which unlike steel utensils, doesn't leave my food tasting tinny when cooking in a metal pan, and they're safe for use on non-stick surfaces as well. A must for anyone serious about cooking.

I purchased the full set about a year ago and am still loving owning this set. I have owned many wooden spoons that split or deteriorate and have not had any such problems with this set. All you do is hand wash and oil them as needed. The wood grain is so beautiful, it is the only set of utensils I keep on my counter to display. It also works well with any pan. I definitely recommend these olive wood utensils.
