Wood or bamboo chopsticks

Wood or bamboo chopsticks tend to have a rougher texture which makes them easier to grip. The wood means they can withstand high temperatures without altering the taste of the food and they are inexpensive, but they can warp and deteriorate over time.

Metal chopstick

Metal chopsticks are harder wearing than wood making them resistant to warping and breakage. Chopsticks made of metal are also easy to clean and can be sanitised in the dishwasher. But they conduct heat easily, meaning they’re not ideal for cooking. An exception to this is grilling meat as they don’t char like wood. They can also be difficult to grip if not engraved at the hand and or food ends.

Fiberglass Chopsticks

Fiberglass chopsticks are engineered from a composite material, making them exceptionally hard-wearing and non-porous, which renders them highly resistant to warping, splintering, and deterioration. This material is also very easy to clean and can be safely sanitized in a dishwasher and high-temperature sterilizers, offering superior hygiene compared to wood or bamboo.

They are poor conductors of heat, making them comfortable to hold even when used with very hot food, unlike metal. 

Ceramic Chopsticks

Ceramic chopsticks are typically crafted from high-temperature fired zirconia or reinforced porcelain, featuring an exceptionally smooth and polished texture. The primary advantage of ceramic is its incredible chemical stability; it does not react with food or absorb odors. They are highly wear-resistant and completely immune to corrosion from acids or alkalis.

These chopsticks are very easy to clean and can be safely sanitized in dishwashers and high-temperature sterilizers. Unlike metal, ceramic is a poor conductor of heat, making them comfortable to use even with hot pots or boiling soups without burning your lips. However, the main drawback of ceramic material is its fragility—they can easily snap or chip if dropped on a hard floor. Additionally, due to their smooth surface, they can be somewhat slippery when gripping round or oily foods.
