Keep in mind that premium finishes such as gold and silver are very soft metals. They can be easily damaged is cleaned with an abrasive cloth or metal cleaner. Never use anything labeled metal cleaner or polish. Use a nonabrasive type cleaner such as Tarn-X or use a product labeled silver polish such as Tarn-X Silver Glaze. To use Tarn-X cleaner you simply wipe it on and rinse off with tap water. If after using tarn next cleaner you still have tarnish visible, try using the silver cleaner. Silver cleaners contain a very mild abrasive and usually a protective coating that will inhibit tarnishing in the future. Most gold finishes will never need to be cleaned or polished and will maintain their luster for many years without cleaning. Silver on the other hand will often tarnish very quickly. And one last note, never want to use a premium plated spoon to prepare absinthe using the flaming or Czech method. Not only will this type of preparation make your absinthe tastes terrible, it will also likely irreparably damage the finish on your absinthe spoon.
Determining Price Of Absinthe Spoons
Absinthe spoons are prices according to 3 basic criteria: 1.) Age 2.) Finish 3.) Detail of design. An older or antique spoon will be more expensive than a newer reproduction. A spoon with a premium finish such as silver or gold will cost more than a standard finish like chrome or stainless steel. A highly detailed spoon such as the Jade above will also cost more. In short, the cost of the spoon increases with age, a premium finish and detail. There are of course exceptions. A new spoon style that is very rare often will cost more than a typical spoon. And remember, Amazon and e-bay are not the place to look for a good quality spoon. Unfortunately, they only have the lower quality absinthe accessories designed to have a large profit margin.

How To Properly Prepare Absinthe
The herbs in Absinthe remain dissolved in solution due to its high alcohol content. Absinthe must be mixed with water to release the herbs from their suspension. When water is poured over the absinthe spoon into the glass, all the aromas and flavors of the herbs are released and the "Louche" is produced. The louche is the milky, opalescent....Read More
Does Legal Absinthe Have An Absinthe Effect?
Will I feel the same effects from absinthe I purchase in the US as the imported Absinthe? This is a very complicated question indeed. This question has been argued considerably since the ban of absinthe over 100 years ago. I will give you my opinion for what ever it is worth. I have a background in chemistry, bio-chemistry and pharmacology and have done much research on the subject. It is proven that thujone acts on a receptor in the brain that causes alertness, lucidity and clarity......Read More
