Gestura 01 Chef’s Spoon

The Gestura 01 may look unassuming at first, but it is a highly specialised chef’s tool. Besides a sharp knife, a good spoon is one of the most valued utensils among the ranks of a kitchen brigade. Cooks may spend countless afternoons at flea markets and antique shops looking for the one spoon that will check all the boxes. At Gestura, they decided to take matters into their own hands and designed a spoon perfectly tailored to chefs’ needs.

The volume of the bowl is exactly 1 tablespoon (half ounce), making measuring a breeze when putting together a quick sauce or dressing, and the tapered tip prevents messy drips while pouring out liquids. The flat edges offer excellent scraping capabilities, and the spoon’s total length of 235 mm (9.25”) allows the cook to reach into the deepest pots without worrying about getting burnt. Despite the long handle, the weight balance of the Gestura spoon is skewed towards the bowl, meaning it will sit inside containers without tipping over, even when they are empty.

As any kitchen tool worth talking about, Gestura spoons are produced in Japan. Pressed with antique American presses by dedicated artisans of Niigata Prefecture, they are then tumbled instead of polished to achieve an antique, matte finish that will also scratch less.

FAQ: What’s so special about this spoon?
The main feature of the 01 is its single tablespoon (half ounce) volume. The idea is to have a measuring spoon that doubles as your mixing and serving utensil — saving time, clean up, and guess work. Say you’re making a vinaigrette, use the 01 spoon to measure out your ratios, mix and pour. The bowl of the 01 is designed with a pointed spout, making pouring and plating accurate and consistent.
