Selecting the Best Bamboo Chopstick For Your Needs

 

 

 

One of the most versatile and useful utensils in the Asian kitchen is the bamboo chopsticks. Although it is not as highly regarded as Chinese or Japanese chopsticks, they are also very useful for a wide variety of Asian cuisines. There are a number of reasons why people choose to use bamboo chopsticks versus traditional wooden ones, but the primary reason is probably one that we all understand. Bamboo sticks, when used for eating, can prevent food from sticking to the utensils. This can be especially problematic for meat such as pork, beef and chicken.

Because of this, there are now a variety of products on the market made from recycled bamboo, including bamboo sticks. Bamboo chopsticks are also available in a number of colors, and many people choose to use only one color of bamboo. This is because they blend in much better with everything and can be washed in the dishwasher without any major problems. The only issue is that bamboo takes a much longer time to grow than most other kinds of grasses. Therefore, you will have to order a lot more bamboo chopsticks than you might otherwise expect.

If you have decided to order bamboo chopsticks, the next step is to decide what you will be using them for. For instance, if you are buying to use for Chinese, Japanese or Korean cuisine, you will probably want to buy a set of restaurant chopsticks. These come individually wrapped in paper, and some brands of restaurant chopsticks include melamine inside the box. Melamine is an artificial substance that is made from silica, which is a natural mineral, and is used in the manufacturing of glass and ceramic dishes.

Although bamboo is typically a much cheaper material than wooden chopsticks, it does not last nearly as long. Therefore, it is probably more cost effective to purchase a set of bamboo chopsticks online, rather than individually. As with all online purchases, you can be confident that you are buying the highest quality product available. Most of the bamboo restaurant chopsticks sets that are available online come with a free bamboo seasoning stick, and a bamboo flute.

If you would like to be able to use bamboo knives, but do not want to deal with the hassles of disposing of the knife after use, you may want to consider a set of tensoge disposable chopsticks. Tensoge disposable chopsticks are made from a type of wood that is similar to bamboo, and the sticks of tensoge are hollowed out so that you can place food on them without removing the entire stick. In addition to being made of wood, many of the tensoge disposable chopsticks that are available online also come in a variety of attractive colors. If you elect to use bamboo knives, you can find a large assortment of bamboo knife sets including single edged blades, double edged blades, pocket knives and even steak knives with a saw blade.

The last option that you have for bamboo sticks is the traditional wooden chopsticks. Wooden chopsticks are usually available in two basic styles: flat bottomed and stick bottomed. Typically, plastic and aluminum chopsticks are not made with wooden ends. The flat bottomed wooden chopsticks are the most popular style of chopsticks as they are the easiest to hold and to use. While these chopsticks do not offer as much flexibility as the plastic or aluminum chopsticks, if you prefer holding and using bamboo over metal, wooden chopsticks will offer you a better chance of success.
