The Metro, all you need is water and a jar (and maybe a kettle). Firstly, place your wooden spoon in the jar and pour over some freshly-boiled water.Stir the water around with the spoon and then leave it to sit in the jar for about 20 minutes.You’ll be able to watch oil and food particles leach out of the wood grain and into the hot water.Then, just remove it from the jar, give the spoon a final rinse and towel dry it.If you do this regularly after cooking then your favourite implement should stay clean for many years.However, if you already have a spoon stained yellow or which smells a bit then you may have to double up on your cleaning method.Try scrubbing the spoon with lemon and salt.Just cut the lemon in half and dip the wet side in.
