HIC Harold Olive Wooden Spatula Has Old World Italian Charm
Last Updated on October 22, 2019 by Cassie Lyons
Why cook with a plastic spatula when you can lift foods with the HIC Wooden Spatula? Made from beautiful olivewood that has a natural aroma, this wooden spatula will not scratch surfaces and has a lightweight, ergonomic design. This particular spatula is made in Italy, having a traditional appearance and old-fashioned charm. To keep in good condition, the wood should be coated with mineral oil on occasion. Customers love the HIC wooden spatula, as it fits comfortably in the hand, is easy to clean and comes at an affordable price. Other wooden spatulas, such as the popular Oxo Good Grips spatula, are not made with the same quality wood.
While the Oxo Good Grips spatula is half the cost, it is made from beech wood, and some product owners found that the lower quality wood cracked easier. For this reason, consumers didn’t mind spending the extra money on the HIC product, which is made from quality olive wood. Although the superior craftsmanship of the olive wood was favored by most online reviewers, some product owners felt the HIC wooden spatula should have been better quality.
Some found that the thin wood material cracked on the sides and didn’t dry properly. Fortunately, this was only the case for a few select consumers, who may have washed the spatula in the dishwasher instead of by hand.
