Know before you buy
The angled edge allows you to reach into the corners of pots and pans more effectively than a rounded spoon. This shape is specifically designed to scrape the bottom of your cookware, which helps prevent lumps in porridge and ensures nothing sticks while stirring.
Because this is a natural wood product, it is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately; avoid soaking it to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.
No. The spurtle is crafted from food-safe native cedar and is finished to ensure it does not impart any wood flavor or chemicals into your dishes.
Because these are hand-carved by a local forester, you can expect natural variations in the wood grain, color, and slight differences in the shape of the handle or blade. These variations are part of the charm of a handcrafted tool and do not affect its performance.
Yes, the cedar construction is quite durable and the 14-inch length provides excellent leverage. It is well-suited for mixing heavy batters and thick mixtures that might cause a standard, thinner spoon to flex or break.
