Essential Organic Series - Risotto Spoon

Bambu's Essential Organic Series of utensils are a little chunkier than the Give It A Rest Series and the handles have a rounded, comfortable feel. The hole has been drilled at an angle which adds interest to the handle as well as giving users the option to hang the utensil on a rack.  As you would expect they are made from a single piece of organically grown bamboo, then hand shaped and finished.

The Risotto Spoon has a large hole in the middle. This is so that you can stir the rice constantly without breaking as many grains as you might with a solid spoon. Also useful for removing boiled eggs from water.

Bamboo is more durable than wood, is heat & stain resistant and is ideal for non-stick cookware. Can be washed in the dishwasher however, as with wooden products, we recommend hand washing to prolong life.  Avoid soaking.  Not recommended for microwave.

Please note the Essential Organic Series of utensils do not come with any packaging.

SUSTAINABLE

Miracle plant bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, and is an endlessly renewable resource - growing new shoots from its root system after being harvested. It thrives naturally without using any pesticides or fertilizers, takes in greenhouse gasses and produces 35% more oxygen than the equivalent trees.

ORGANIC

Made from organic bamboo. The producers only use water-based formaldehyde-free adhesives and all products are hand sanded and finished using a food-safe oil produced from vegetable oils and waxes.

RESPONSIBLY SOURCED

Responsibly made in China where there are safe working conditions and fair labour practices. Producer Bambu is also B Corp certified which means the company’s business model and entire operations are evaluated to see how they impact their workers, community and environment. In short, B Corporation is to business what Fairtrade certification is to food.
About the Brand

Bambu are makers of handcrafted products for the home including bowls, boards & utensils.  Their products come from nature and their ideas are inspired by the materials they work with - and crafted in a way that supports sustainable business practices.

Bambu was established in 2003 with a goal to reducing our use and reliance on plastic by providing people with beautiful, non-toxic, sustainable products made from nature.

Founders Jeff & Rachel were born in Portland, Oregon – a place that prides itself on local, homegrown and eco-friendly values, and when they relocated to China for work, (a place often criticised for its manufacturing processes), they took these values with them. They wanted to see if they could find a way of doing things differently – creating interest and excitement in sustainable materials, whilst adhering to ethical business practices.

Today bambu continue to focus on the same key values. They source materials locally, work with people who work with their hands, and produce safe and durable products that will last for years. The primary material they work with is bamboo – well known these days as an endlessly renewable resource that grows very fast without the need for pesticides or fertilisers – and they also work with other sustainable materials such as cork and organic cotton.

For bambu sustainability goes beyond the balance between what they take from the earth and what they return to it. It is central to how they conduct themselves as a business. They are committed to 3rd party certification and testing, promote fair labour practices and safe working conditions and ‘green’ their supply chain. The result – a number of accolades by leading associations and trade groups. They are a certified B Corp – a community of businesses that balance purpose and profit.
