As long as they are marked "food-safe," then yes. Fiberglass is durable, and it stands up to higher temperatures than melamine and other plastics. It can go in the dishwasher, but it is heavier than other materials. To maintain the wood, gentle hand-washing will be the best way to preserve the finish. "The more delicate [the material], the more you want to hand-wash them, as wood and heat don't like each other," says Lee. The manufacturer also cautions against letting them sit in water and advises that you air-dry them after washing. Made from hand-twisted bamboo, they are incredibly sturdy and easy to clean—simply wash by hand or wipe them down with a damp cloth. The twist detail adds a little bit of grip assistance, and their 9.75-inch length is great for digging into a deep bowl of ramen noodles or hot pot.
