Fill a large pot with enough water to completely submerge the wooden spoons. Place it on your stove.

Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil.

Using tongs, carefully place your wooden spoons in the boiling water. Ensure they are fully submerged and not touching the sides of the pot, as direct contact with the hot metal can cause scorching.

Allow the spoons to boil for about 20 minutes. Avoid boiling for too long as prolonged exposure to heat and water can cause the wood to warp, crack, or split.

Use the tongs to carefully remove the wooden spoons from the boiling water.

Immediately dry them thoroughly with a clean towel. Make sure to remove as much moisture as possible to prevent water from soaking into the wood.

Optionally, let them air dry completely on a drying rack in a well-ventilated area to ensure all moisture has evaporated.

Once the spoons are dry, consider conditioning them with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to restore moisture back into the wood and protect it. This helps prolong their life and maintain their condition.
