Chopsticks eating utensils invented in China over 5,000 years ago. Today they are famous for enjoying Asian cuisine all over the world. A few different types include bamboo or wooden, disposable, plastic, stainless steel, and training chopsticks.
Bamboo and wood are the most common materials used to make chopsticks. Different wood tones can be combined to give an elegant look to the utensils. The imaginative ones can have special symbols or animal figures carved on them.
Disposable chopsticks are made from wood or bamboo and are considered an environmental concern due to the amount of wood used to turn them into waste. Some manufacturers only use recycled wood or pieces of wood left over from other uses.
Plastic chopsticks are considered to be more environmentally attractive as they can be washed and reused. They are strong and last a long time, and this type is used by many Asian restaurants.
Chopsticks made of stainless steel or silver are popular in Korea. These metal utensils are often much flatter in shape than other types. Because steel is so strong, those made from this material work well in the heat of Korean barbecue cooking.
Japanese chopsticks are made in different thicknesses, weights and lengths for men, women and children. Training chopsticks known as Chopsticks or Assistant Chopsticks have a ring and slotted system. Kids practice with these them until they can master the regular ones.
Wands can be very simple with no ornamentation whatsoever or they can be highly decorated and finely sculpted masterpieces. Another type of chopsticks besides those for eating are those used for cooking. These are usually sturdier and longer than those used for eating. Kitchen chopsticks are used for tasks such as stirring and frying. Chopstick holders serve the same purpose as spoon holders and keep table and counter surfaces clean by keeping the tips of the chopsticks pointing up.
