To-Go Ware Bamboo Utensil Set

This utensil set from To-Go Ware is a toolkit to help reduce your ecological footprint and keep you connected to the world. Enjoy eating with organic utensils made of bamboo, which is highly durable and can be grown and harvested sustainably. "Throwaway" plastic cutlery consists of petrochemicals harmful to the environment, as well as contributing to wasteful habits that feed the landfill rather than nourishing our lives.

To-Go Ware Bamboo Flatware & Chopsticks
–Heat and stain resistant, won't impart or absorb flavors
–Lightweight, strong and long lasting
–Hand finished with top grade natural, food-safe wood oil

Sets available: bamboo flatware set (fork, spoon, knife), WEAVE sets (brown, red, black), CONSERVE sets

More about To-Go Ware RePEaT sets:
We’ve got our travel mugs and our reusable shopping bags. How about a bamboo utensil set to round out the perfect toolkit for life on the go? A handy carabiner on the back lets you clip and carry a fork, knife, spoon and chopsticks wherever they may roam. Perfect for a busy lifestyle and our precious planet.

RePEaT utensil holders give plastic bottles a second shot at a useful life – and an opportunity to stay out of our landfills. Made out of RPET (recycled PET plastic), we like to call it “RePEaT” because it lets plastic reincarnate into something kinder and gentler.

Pros: Study and bacterial free.
I love these utensils.  I didn't buy the Conserve as shown above but I bought the RePEaT set on MavoPavo.  I also sprung for the lunchbox. Love it and I use it for my left overs when I eat out.  www.mavopavo.com

Pros: Beautiful cases, made from bamboo

I bought these To Go Ware sets two years ago the the SF Green Festival for Christmas presents. THey're really great. They come with a fork, spoon, knife, and chop sticks all wrapped up in a little carrying case with pretty designs. They are very light weight and they're much nicer to use than plastic! Perfect for picnics.

Pros: Reusable, made from bamboo, pretty little cases
Cons: Chopsticks slip out sometimes

I got one of these To-Go Ware sets last year at the SF Green Festival.  At that point, they only had the WEAVE sets available, so that's the kind I have.  I'm a fan, for sure.  I really like using bamboo utensils over plastic (and while biodegradable stuff is handy sometimes...you don't have to worry about your spoon melting or curling when you stick it in your hot coffee).  The cases for the utensils are also quite beautiful and I appreciate the socially conscious aspect of them (i.e. sourcing the WEAVE cases from a women's cooperative in Burma).  And it's a bonus that you get chopsticks too.

 

Now, just a little hint for those of you with a WEAVE case...I'd recommend double knotting the tie.  If you just loosely single knot it, your utensils are prone to slipping out (and the tie is thick enough that there's very little worry of double-knotting and not being able to untie it again).  Oh, and the only other drawback is that the bowl of the spoon isn't very deep so it doesn't make the best soup spoon.  But on the whole, I would definitely recommend them.

Pros: Not plastic, reusable, bamboo, carrying case
Cons: A little clumsy to use, knife isn't (duh) sharp, fork is isn't great for salad

I love the idea of this set, but actually using them is not quite as good as the idea.  I ate a salad with my set and toward the end nearly resorted to my fingers.  I would definitely pick these over plastic no matter what.  Maybe I should have resorted to the chop sticks.
