I have a question I’ve been meaning to ask you, and I was wondering whether you’d be able to help. Recently I bought two sets of lovely wooden spoons, which are supposed to be made of rosewood. I washed them after first use and all that, but the rice spoon leaked colour on my rice. That got us a bit worried so we didn’t use them again. The place I got it from was totally unhelpful, and in another country, and I ended up not posting them back (my own fault, i know). So, what I wanted to ask is whether you knew anything about rosewood utensils. Whether they do leak initally, but then stop, and are ok to eat. that’s what I’m hoping to hear at least. Anyway, any advice would be useful and much appreciated.

Many thanks for your help,

Maninas
