Plastic is a no-go in my household. I despise it, especially when it comes to kitchen utensils. I always choose wood (or at times metal), given that it offers many more benefits and is easy to maintain and clean. But aside from that, wood is an ideal material when cooking some of your favorite dishes due to its sturdiness and durability. Plus, you won't see it melting away in your pan... (shade intended).

We've seen the debate between wooden cutting boards vs plastic, but now it's time to shed some light on wood vs plastic utensils. Aside from the health benefits of switching to wood, this material is much more aesthetically pleasing and visually appealing than any form of plastic utensil. So why take the risk? Both health and style-wise, I mean.
