Answers:
I'm trying to imagine a wooden skimmer!.!.!. Anyway I prefer bamboo utensils to wooden ones!. Between the two my bamboo utensils seem to be just as sturdy yet somewhat lighter and easier to clean/less susceptible to staining than my wooden ones!. I have seen allegorical claims of bamboo (in reference to bamboo cutting boards) having some kind of natural antibacterial or antimicrobial properties and if that's true it would also be an advantage!.

I bet that America's Test Kitchen/Cook's magazine has something about this since they like to do just those kinds of comparisons if you want to check their site!. I seem to recall them picking bamboo cutting boards over ones made of other materials a while back so I suspect that it would be the same for utensils made from organic materials!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Bamboo is definitely the right choice!. It's more durable and easy to clean, and it's color is amazing, if you like a light wash colorWww@FoodAQ@Com

There is a wood called ironwood, I think!. Very dense and dark!. These make the best utensils, much less absorbent than regular wooden spoons or bamboo utensils, so food does not stick to them so easily!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I prefer bamboo, it is very durable, does not break or splinter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

neither!.!.!.cause they are both absorbent and can harbor bacteria!.!.!.go with plastic, silicone, or metal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My only bamboo spoon does not splinter like the wooden ones!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't prefer one over the other, but try to get ones only made in the US!. Just a precaution that I use!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Wood!.

B/c they can go in the dishwasher and don't get a funky smell like bamboo does!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would choose bamboo because it is sturdier and strong and wood could break easier!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
