菜箸 are extra-long chopsticks (usually 30-40cm) designed for cooking. They keep hands at a safe distance from heat and allow precise handling of ingredients.
Common uses:
- 揚げ物をする (frying)
- 炒め物を作る (stir-frying)
- 茹でた麺を取り出す (removing boiled noodles)
菜箸 are typically made of bamboo, wood, or heat-resistant plastic. Some have silicone tips for use with non-stick cookware.
