Guatemalan Fry Up

'These slotted spatulas are ideal for flipping eggs, pancakes or vegetables in a pan. Since they are carved from wood, they won't scratch your pans,' Peten Wood Artisan Sculptors tell us with obvious pride. They carve the spatulas by hand from manchiche wood, a Guatemalan hardwood that is burnished red by nature, with the grain forming myriad patterns.

Please note that hot and/or spicy food may dye the natural wood, yet spoons can be filed and finished with oil to return to natural coloring.
