This vintage European wooden bread paddle is a great tool for baking. To use it, simply place your dough on the paddle and slide it smoothly into the oven. When taking the baked bread out, use the paddle to gently lift and remove it. As the handle has been mended, be a bit careful when handling it to avoid putting too much stress on the repaired part. To keep it in good condition, wipe it with a dry cloth after each use. Avoid soaking it in water as it's made of wood, which could cause warping or damage. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
