Bamboo Utensils: Gentle on <strong>Your</strong> Cookware<br />

& the Earth Too!<br />

Many of the gentle ―nonstick‖ cooking tools available are<br />

made of nylon or silicone (which we discussed earlier).<br />

To avoid the being exposed to petroleum-based chemicals<br />

(and to help the environment too) choose bamboo.<br />

Not only is bamboo ideal for working with all of the cookware<br />

recommended in this section, it is also sustainable...and<br />

inexpensive.<br />

Advantages<br />

Nontoxic<br />

Nonstick<br />

Won’t scratch cooking surfaces<br />

Heat and stain resistant<br />

Sustainable, earth-friendly<br />

Disadvantages<br />

Brands to Try<br />

While typically sealed with a natural oil, bamboo utensils, with wear and<br />

tear, can trap bacteria. To keep your bamboo tools germ-free, wash with<br />

hot soapy water after every use or disinfect with a 10% hydrogen<br />

peroxide solution.<br />
