Utensils

Cooking utensils in wood, stainless steel, and named food-grade silicone instead of nylon.

Nylon spatulas can soften at frying temperatures and shed into the pan, adding microplastics directly to hot food. Wood, stainless steel, and food-grade silicone remain intact at cooking temperatures.
