Standard chopsticks are usually 23–25cm. While great for eating, they aren't long enough to protect your hands from the high heat of a wok or frying pan. Our 36cm cooking sticks provide that crucial "safety buffer" while maintaining the precision of a chopstick. Will they burn or scorch? Teak is naturally high in oil and density, making it very heat-resistant. While you shouldn't leave them resting on a hot pan edge for long periods, they are designed to withstand high-heat cooking and deep-frying temperatures. How do I clean long cooking chopsticks? Hand-wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately. To prevent the wood from drying out due to heat exposure, we recommend re-oiling them with food-safe oil more frequently than your eating sticks.
