Which spatulas, spoons and tongs contain no plastic, handle and finish included?
One kitchen tool is listed so far: the FRAMA Ground Corkscrew, a single length of stainless steel pressed and twisted into a worm and a handle. No grip, no joint, no coating. It's Silver because FRAMA doesn't say what the packaging is. It's a corkscrew, so it won't stir a pot; no spatula, spoon or pair of tongs has made the list yet.
The pattern to look for is the same everywhere: one piece of steel or oiled hardwood, with nothing added to the head or the handle.

FRAMA Ground Corkscrew, Stainless Steel
Silver
One length of stainless steel, pressed and twisted into a worm and a handle. No grip, sleeve, joint or coating. Nothing on the corkscrew is plastic, and there's nothing on it to hide plastic in. You push on the twisted section to drive the screw into the cork, then grip the flat underside of the handle to pull. It measures 11.5 by 11.5 cm. It's Silver, not Gold, because FRAMA doesn't say what the packaging is.

Where plastic hides in cooking utensils
A spoon is as simple as a tool gets, and plastic still finds a way in. Wooden spoons come lacquered or varnished, which is polyurethane or acrylic. Laminated bamboo utensils are strips held together with resin glue. Steel tongs and spatulas wear silicone tips, and cheap ones get a nylon head. Whisks get a silicone coat over the wire. Pakkawood handles are wood soaked in resin. One piece of oiled hardwood or one piece of steel has nowhere to hide any of it.
What to check before you buy
- The head: one piece of wood or steel, or a silicone, nylon or coated head?
- The finish on wood: bare, oiled or waxed, or lacquer and varnish?
- The glue in bamboo: named, or hidden in the laminate?
- The handle: steel, wood or horn, or resin, silicone or a plastic insert?
- A whisk or turner: bare wire and steel, or a silicone coat?
- The hanging loop and the packaging: leather, cord or paper, or plastic?
