Cooking in my house is a family activity. We’re privileged to be able to start and end almost every day with a home cooked family meal. Nearly all of those meals are made with Earlywood Designs Trifecta utensils.
Montana based Earlywood Designs makes heirloom quality handcrafted wooden utensils and kitchen tools. Each product has a unique and practical design and holds up to our daily meals on the stove, campfire, and the grill.
The long handle and rounded edges offer plenty of reach over hot burners and it feels good in the hand. The rounded edges are perfect for scraping off bits of deliciousness around the edges of a pan. My daughter calls this the “spatula” because it’s big enough to be used that way. The sauté is our do it all – we flip, stir, mash, and anything else you can think of.
Earlywood advertises the spreader for smearing peanut butter and soft cheeses, but we use it for one task throughout the week – scrambled eggs. Using a wooden utensil means our non-stick pan doesn’t scratch. The rounded edges and short handle are perfect for making our family’s secret scrambled eggs. I can’t give you that secret recipe but I will tell you that in our house it’s known as the “Daddy special.”
At least 50% of our meals are cooked in cast iron and I baby our pans. I never use soap and I religiously season them. Still, even the most seasoned cast iron will leave behind a few bits of food. The scraper’s sharp edge helps keep our pans clean and ready for the next meal. It’s also a handy brownie cutter, which is something every kitchen needs.
We have some amazing stories that we’re excited to share with you. We’ll never share your contact information outside of Wild Human. You can expect roughly a few emails per month.
Premium cast iron market is big business. U.S. made Smithey pans are worth your consideration and dollars if you’re on the hunt for heirloom quality pans.
Cooking a meal over a fire is one of the most satisfying experiences in the outdoors. Cutting the wood, building and nurturing the fire, developing coals, and controlling heat is a lot of work, but the results are undeniably delicious. The Barebones Cowboy Fire Pit Grill – 23” helps make that happen.
For years I suffered horrible nights of sleep while camping. Somewhere along the way I decided to do something about it. The Hest Sleep System has been a big part of finding sound sleep in the outdoors.
