Shou Sugi Ban, or more properly, Yakisugi, is a traditional method of preservation that uses an open flame to make wood more resistant to water and fire. Qualities that are certainly important when building a home, and if you ask us, are pretty relevant inside the kitchen as well.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ifwk3-2-4-2\" draggable=\"true\" data-gjs-type=\"default\"\u003e\u003cbr id=\"irt1sx-2\" draggable=\"true\" data-gjs-type=\"default\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ifwk3-2-5-2\" draggable=\"true\" data-gjs-type=\"default\"\u003eAs the wood is charred it becomes less porous, accounting for its increased durability and visible resistance to moisture.

Baking Spatula Shou Sugi Ban Yakisugi Inspired Cookware
Our new Kuro line of flame blackened finished utensils is inspired by a centuries old, Edo Period, Japanese finishing technique called Yakisugi - often misnamed in architecture as Shou Sugi Ban
This technique involves masterfully charring the utensil over an open flame taking care not to start the utensil on fire or char it excessively. It provides a silky-smooth finish, makes it less likely to absorb aromas, stain, or blacken/burn further.
The utensil is then has any over-charred areas scraped clean, washed, then finished with a natural oil similar to Yakisugi.
This listing is for our baking spatula available in design profiles Midnight, Smoke and Dipped.
