Description: Spoon-forming bidirectional chopsticks with soft carrying pouch (reusable, one pair, black, 2024 edition) ✓ Free 60 Day Returns ✓ Free Express Shipping Description: DESIGN INTENT (Under patents in North America and Asia) The Mantis simplifies the traditional need for an extra spoon by transforming into one when the two pieces are fitted together (for foods like congee, khao pad, dal makhani, kushari, okayu, chawanmushi, fried rice, lentils, chili, etc) Capillary action will hold liquid long enough for practical use (those five seconds from plate to mouth) despite the gap in the middle. Some drip is expected, but can be equivalent to a regular spoon being wet on the underside. OPERATION Normal Mode The straight pointed ends can be used as conventional chopsticks. This was a deliberate choice to preserve familiarity with traditional use. Spoon Mode The two pieces can interlock together to form a spoon. Held gently, the seam is precise enough to facilitate handling of liquids (such as broths) with low enough drip to be practical during use. Pinch Mode Turning the spoon portions sideways provides pointed ends which curve inwards. This allows for finer tong-like control of smaller food items or an enhanced "hugging" grip of larger, slippery, food items like picking up a slippery boiled egg. MATERIAL The Mantis is made of a food-grade, high heat, engineering resin (PPS) with characteristics between porcelain and aluminum. It's carefully chosen with health as a priority and for it's stability at high temperatures. This resin is not known to contain, or off-gas, the typical health-suspect compounds such as Phthalates, BPA, BPS (Bisphenols), azo compounds, halogenated aromatic compounds, or dioxins/furans. Features: SYMMETRY: A unique design that is both multifunctional and still maintains a symmetric elegance.LOW-DRIP SPOON MODE: Assembles into a spoon when the two members are fitted together to handle more foods than traditional chopsticks. Some drip is expected on liquids, but low enough for practical use with soups.BIDIRECTIONAL: Either end can be used as a chopstick in a traditional fashion. When leading with the spoon-ends it provides added food-pinching functionality (like tongs), or a wider surface area (eg. for fluffy rice).MATERIAL: Food grade, glass filled PPS resin known for its heat resistance and chemical inertness to most known substances; especially in kitchen environments. Withstands temps up to 390F and it can easily handle boiling liquids, microwave, and dishwasher. Not known to off-gas BPA, BPS, Phthalates, Dioxin/Furans. (achieving a glossy finish with this high heat material is an expensive process)CHANGES: 2024 edition added soft carrying pouch. 2023 edition added seam improvement.
