Muldale Scottish Porridge Spurtle - 11.5" Oatmeal Spoon Wooden Stick Stirrer - Spurtles Kitchen Tools - Traditional Spurdle Stirrers - Natural Beechwood

When it comes right down to it, it's a stick. But it's a very sturdy stick and it stirs up a pot of porridge very well.

Wonderful tool!Makes the porridge of any type come out smoother and richer.Haven't tried with a soup or a stew yet, but I certainly will.

perfect, really like using.

I bought a wooden spurtle when I was in Scotland and later decided that I wanted a few more for Christmas gifts. These fit the bill and work well for cooking lump-free porridge, oatmeal and other hot breakfast cereals. A great and practical “souvenir” from our trip.

Works for Sourdough starter mixing.

It's a strong sturdy stick/piece of wood that is very functional at smushing up oatmeal, with a good mixing ability. It is the right size to do the job. The only complaint is that the wood is kind of porous which makes cleaning it a little bit of effort, but that's not a bad thing.

Beautiful stick. Very well crafted and finished.

I had long wondered what the big deal was with the “Spurtle”. I am a big oatmeal eater and have been so for years. When I would read in the directions on the back of a package of Bob’s Red Mill Oatmeal “to stir the oatmeal with a Spurtle” I would think I must be missing out on something, but what? Well, after decades of stirring my oats while cooking with a spoon I finally broke down and bought myself this here Spurtle. Lands A Goshen, what a difference! Everything about the oatmeal prep and taste experience has now been transformed by this simple change to the process. The Spurtle improves the texture of the oatmeal while cooking by making the process of cooking the oats and cooking liquid of choice together more uniformly. The oats simply cook up more fluffy and hearty with better texture and bite. Then, after you’ve removed the cooked oats to your serving bowl you are left with a sauce pan that is easier to clean than before. The rounded wooden knob end of the Spurtle used to stir and fold the oats and cooking liquid prevents any form of sticking to the pan and clean up is a breeze. Long live the Spurtle!
