I was in need of a new wooden spoon after my dog decided one of my existing wooden spoons was a great chew toy. I selected this one as a replacement. It is large. I’m used to more svelte, slender, elongated wooden spoons. Length wise, this one is a little longer and it is chunky and broad. In my opinion it has specific uses in the kitchen and is not as universal as my other wooden spoons due to its size. In true Oxo fashion, the quality is top notch. I just find its size a bit cumbersome.
