{"product_id":"teak-soup-ladle","title":"Teak Soup Ladle","description":"\u003cp\u003eA deep-bowled ladle for serving soups, stocks, stews and curries in generous, drip-free scoops. Hand-carved from solid teak — a timber naturally rich in oils that make it highly water-resistant, durable and resistant to warping and mould. Light in the hand yet built to last, with a silky food-grade oil finish that’s smooth, scratch-resistant and dishwasher safe. No oiling needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWon't go mouldy like soft wooden utensils or bamboo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHad a wooden spoon crack, fur up or go mouldy before? That's usually soft, porous timber like bamboo or beechwood soaking up water. This is different. Dense teak has naturally tight pores, so it barely absorbs moisture — which means no mould, no warping, no splintering, and no fuzzy grain. It's genuinely dishwasher safe and needs little to no oiling to stay beautiful. A piece built to last for years, not a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWays to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from dense, tight-pored timber (not soft bamboo or beechwood) — so it resists water, won't go mouldy or warp, is dishwasher safe and needs minimal oiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe soups, stocks, stews, curries and chilli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLadle sauces, gravy and punch at gatherings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePortion evenly with the deep, drip-free bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for both everyday meals and entertaining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx.
