The 00 is the slotted companion to the 01 - same Niigata workshop, same tumbled matte finish, same hand-finished lathe work by Mr. Okada, with two key differences: a thicker, more durable handle for heavier use, and an identifying slot that lets liquid drain while you lift. That slot is what makes the 00 the right tool for retrieving things from liquid - poaching water, blanching baths, hot butter, fryer oil, and braises. Fish tempura from the fryer, chops from a pan of butter, an olive from a 12-quart container at the back of the walk-in - all with the feel and control of a solid spoon rather than the clumsy mechanical grip of a spider or tongs.
The same flea market vintage aesthetic as the 01 - tumbled to a matte, imperfect surface that reflects the worn character of the vintage steel that inspired the line. Stamped and etched in Niigata, then finished by hand on a lathe. The thicker handle on the 00 is a deliberate design choice: the tasks this spoon handles tend to involve more resistance and more heat, and the additional mass helps. One tablespoon capacity for measuring and sauce work when needed.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only. Dry thoroughly after washing. Not dishwasher safe.
