“Rirang OnAir” Sea to Summit Folding Serving Spoon

We were watching the always fun “Rirang OnAir” last week and saw an interesting new piece of camping cutlery that she was using. Press Play on the video above to see it.

So we did some flatware sleuthing and was able to track down this clever collapsing spoon that she uses.

The Sea to Summit Folding Serving Spoon is made of rugged glass-reinforced nylon and food-grade silicone rubber, the Folding Spoon packs down small enough to fit in a 1.2L Alpha pot, yet pops out to form a full-value measuring and serving spoon. It is large and measures up to 100 ml / 3.3 Fl oz. Clever cutlery huh?

Babish is back with a 11 Piece Tool Set

Babish 11 Piece Essential Wood, Silicone, and Stainless Steel Tool Set

Babish is a big influence on us here at the Cutlery Review. And it’s really nice to see that he is continuing to add to his popular product line and with things cutlery of course.

Next up is the “Babish 11 Piece Essential Wood, Silicone, and Stainless Steel Tool Set” which is pictured above. It is a clever mix of metal and wood cutlery that is the perfect starter set for a new or camping kitchen. And a great value as well.

So you’ve got all you need. The 11 piece set includes a silicone spoonula with wood handle, a silicone spatula with wood handle, a silicone scraper with wood handle, a silicone brush with wood handle, a wood spoon, a wood turner, a nylon slotted turner, a stainless steel whisk, a stainless steel spoon, a stainless spoon ladle, and one pair of stainless steel tongs.

But wait there’s more to tell! The silicone, nylon and wood utensils are nonstick cookware safe (but not the metal ones cause that’s scratch scratchy). It’s best you hand wash these due to the wood handles.

There are several types of chopsticks that are used around the world. One of the most common types is the traditional Japanese chopsticks, known as “hashi” in Japanese. These chopsticks are typically made from bamboo or wood and are around 9 inches long. They are tapered at one end and have a smooth surface.

Another type of chopsticks is the Chinese chopsticks, which are similar to Japanese chopsticks but are usually slightly longer, around 10 inches long. They are also made from bamboo or wood but are often thicker and have a rougher surface. Chinese chopsticks are also often square or rectangular in shape, whereas Japanese chopsticks are usually round.

Reusable chopsticks are also becoming increasingly popular. These chopsticks are often made from materials such as plastic, stainless steel, and even glass. These chopsticks are environmentally friendly as they can be washed and reused multiple times, unlike disposable chopsticks which are used only once. Some reusable chopsticks come with a case for easy storage and can be a great travel companion.
