Mango wood is naturally gentle on non-stick surfaces, and similar spoons are described as 'perfect for non-stick' by other retailers [1].","q":"Is this spoon safe to use with non-stick cookware?"},{"a":"To condition the spoon, apply food-grade mineral oil when the wood looks dry — experts recommend oiling once a month or whenever the spoon appears dull [1]. However, note that our product's care instructions recommend washing with a dry cloth only and avoiding liquids, so oiling may change the surface; test on a small area first.","q":"How should I condition or oil this spoon over time to prevent drying and cracking?"},{"a":"The spoon is hand-carved from a single piece of mango wood. The product description notes it is 'handcrafted from durable mango wood' [1], and there is no indication of glued pieces or laminations.","q":"Is this spoon made from a single piece of mango wood or are pieces glued together?"},{"a":"Mango wood has a very faint natural scent, but it is not strong enough to transfer to food.
