I’m not alone! Yeah I had this perfect wooden spoon… but someone put it in the dishwasher. It got all this “piling” lumpy and sad dense texture and became unusable. I never found a good replacement, only compromise spoons. My current spoon is too long, and the handle is too thin, and this will mildly bother me forever
I’m surprised you could use a wooden spatula from the start… I’ve never liked them, because it feels unsanitary (yes, I know there’s studies that show its naturally antimicrobial etc etc)
Some wooden utensils are smooth but for some reason spatulas always feel furry. Like just the slightest bit of roughness to them like they weren’t sanded all the way. And the way they kind of dry scrape against the food as it slides under gives me chills.
Had to throw out a wooden spatula yesterday. Spouse put it in the dishwasher and it became so rough, I can’t touch it anymore >.<

wood contains about 50% water btw, so it’s not really dry
I love my wooden cooking spoons but I understand the brain problems with them!
As long as the surface is smooth I prefer them over plastic.
