doddl Toddler Cutlery Set
Ergonomic self-feeding cutlery with stainless-steel food ends on a chunky plastic handle - the mouth and food only touch steel, but there's no all-metal doddl.
The verdict: No-contact plastic
doddl's spoon, fork, and safe-knife have stainless-steel food ends (the spoon bowl and fork tines) on a contoured plastic handle with soft-touch grip zones. So the part that goes in the mouth and touches the food is steel, and the plastic is in the handle only - no-contact-plastic. There is no fully-metal doddl; the ergonomic handle is inherently plastic. It's a real step up from all-plastic toddler cutlery because nothing plastic reaches the food, but strict avoiders will still prefer a solid one-piece stainless set.

What it's made of
| Part | Material | Food contact |
|---|---|---|
| spoon bowl / fork tines (food ends) food-safe stainless-steel ends - the parts that touch food and go in the mouth; grade not stated by brand | Stainless Steel grade unspecified | Yes primary |
| handle contoured plastic handle with soft-touch grip zones; does not touch the food | Plastic other / unspecified | No |
doddl's whole idea is ergonomics: a short, chunky, contoured handle sized for a toddler's fist, with a spoon, fork, and rounded safe-knife designed to make self-feeding easier and less frustrating. The soft-touch grip zones and the guided shape genuinely help a struggling early self-feeder get food to mouth. Sold as a spoon + fork set, or a spoon, fork, and knife set, for roughly 1-5 year-olds. Not microwave- or steriliser-safe.
Pros
- Ergonomic contoured handle genuinely helps early self-feeders
- Steel doesn't hold soap/food taste the way plastic or silicone can
- Dishwasher-safe
Cons
- No fully-metal doddl exists; strict avoiders will want a one-piece steel set instead
- Brand doesn't publish the steel grade
