I use both wooden and synthetic ones they all go in the dishwasher and they are years old. I do hand scrub and rinse my bread board but use synthetic (different colours) for meat and veg chopping.

We wash ours by hand, don't have a dish washer. Thing is, DH has a thing about sawing part of the handles off as he thinks they are too long. Anyone else come across this phenomena?

Our wooden spoons go in the dish washer and have survived some years without cracking.

I do find a big wooden spoon very good for stirring grin

I have a couple, only use them for baking purposes, otherwise use synthetic material ones for stirring cooking serving etc.Only hand wash wooden spoons and wooden bread board.

Yesterday, a friend emailed me a recipe, ( I live a really exciting life) and got onto the subject of wooden spoons and how long they last. She had read that they should be discarded after a couple of years. They shouldn't be machine washed often, it causes them to crack and split. I always wash mine by hand. We have both had our spoons for many years, and not come to harm. I think I also heard/ read, somewhere, that wooden chopping boards were the more hygenic choice. Think butchers blocks! They were used and scrubbed and served a long life. Do you still use wooden spoons, or is it just old fogies like me and my friend? ?
