Honey Dipper Buyer’s Guide
A honey dipper is the best tool for adding a touch of golden sweetness to your beverage, porridge, cereal or toast without the mess or sticky surfaces. Using unique grooves, honey dippers scoop and deliver the honey neatly and evenly, as opposed to spoons which dollop the honey in one large blob. The best part is that honey dippers are extremely affordable, often with a beautiful natural design.

Material
Honey dippers are commonly made from wood, but glass and stainless steel options are also very popular. Wooden honey dippers are extremely long lasting with a gorgeous natural look. They’re easy to clean by hand.
Glass honey dippers are elegant and stylish, although they can break if dropped. These too are usually washed by hand and you’ll need to be more careful handling glass dippers than you do wood.
Stainless steel dippers are durable and stylish, and they can be cleaned in the dishwasher. These are built for life long use, although they lack the earthy look of wooden dippers.
Durability
Honey dippers made from wood are very long lasting provided they are cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions (often using a damp cloth and mild soap). Stainless steel honey dippers are extremely durable, while glass dippers tend to have a shorter lifespan.
Ease of Cleaning
Honey is sticky and messy, which makes it one of the worst things to clean from surfaces and utensils. While most wooden honey dippers can’t be cleaned in the dishwasher, they can usually be wiped clean with a damp cloth and soap. If you’re not up for scrubbing sticky honey from your new dipper, look for one that’s dishwasher safe.
Honey Dippers FAQ
How to use a honey dipper
Using a honey dipper is extremely easy. Dip the honey dipper into your honey jar at an angle, fully covering the tip with honey. Slowly rotate the dipper as you lift the tip out of the honey. While you are twisting, the honey should stay on the dipper and not make a mess on your worktop.
To release the honey onto your food, simply stop rotating. The honey should drizzle from the end in a steady flow.
