Not sure which BAUM spoon length to choose? Compare the 100mm, 160mm, and 185mm sizes to find the best fit for condiments, daily meals, and serving.
Quick answer
For everyday eating, choose the 160mm BAUM spoon; for small condiment jars or spice containers, go with the 100mm; and for serving or larger bowls, the 185mm offers the best reach.
Why length matters for a wooden spoon
The BAUM spoon is made from natural teak with a urethane coating, giving it a warm, smooth feel that pairs well with ceramic and glass tableware. But the right length determines how comfortable the spoon feels in your hand and how well it fits your typical bowl or jar.
A spoon that is too short may leave your fingers dipping into the food, while one that is too long can feel awkward in a small dish. The three BAUM sizes each serve a different purpose, so matching the length to the task makes daily use more enjoyable.
Material and care considerations
All BAUM spoons share the same natural teak construction and urethane coating. They are not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed, dried promptly, and stored away from direct sunlight. The wood may show slight natural variations, which is part of its character.
Because the spoons are lightweight (the 185mm weighs only 10g, the 160mm 8g, and the 100mm about 2g), they feel delicate in the hand. This makes them ideal for gentle stirring and eating, but less suited for heavy scooping or scraping.
How to choose your BAUM spoon length
- Choose the 100mm if...: You need a small spoon for condiments like mustard, jam, salt, or spice jars. Its compact size fits narrow openings and sits neatly on a saucer or small plate.
- Choose the 160mm if...: You want one spoon for daily meals — soups, rice bowls, oatmeal, or yogurt. It is the standard table spoon length that balances reach and handling for most bowls and plates. This is the most popular size for a reason: it works with almost any dish without feeling too short or too long.
- Choose the 185mm if...: You frequently eat from deep bowls, serve family-style dishes, or prefer a longer handle for better leverage. The extra length also makes it a good serving spoon for salads or side dishes. If you often share meals from a central pot or bowl, the 185mm gives you the reach you need without dipping your hand in.
