You can wash them with impunity, not worried that they'll absorb the water or that you'll damage the lacquer. I love these chopsticks. They cool off fast, too, though. My only caution is that they WILL get hot if you leave them in a hot dish for an extended length of time. I use them all the time. As chopsticks (of course), to stir drinks, to beat eggs, etc.
although they did not taper to as fine a point as i would prefer or have graduated ringed tips, these implements should serve well for much longer than bamboo or lacquered chopsticks.after various attempts to use these with noodle soups, my recommendation is to NOT purchase these; instead, get ones with graduated, ringed tips (i found a set locally for less than the items here) - they will work *much* better than smooth-tipped sticksupdate: a quick fix is to use your Dremel with a blunted cutting wheel to put in your own graduated rings - took me about two minutes to do two pairs - all you need is a steady hand and a gentle pressure - now the sticks work just fine for slippery foods - problem solved made in China with no indication of metal composition in the labeling, these 'stainless' chopsticks had no discernible flaws and all edges were smooth.
They are lasting well and go great with any stainless steel flatware. I am extremely pleased with the 2 sets that I bought.
They also are great because they are not totally round (just flat enough to not roll around) and they are easy to use. We haven't had much of a chance to use these yet but we like that they will last forever and are so easy to clean.
but you can find it in local Korean store or Chinese grocery store for less. good stuff.
