A wood spurtle is a traditional 15th-century Scottish kitchen tool, similar to a spatula or paddle, primarily used for stirring porridge to prevent lumps and sticking, but it's also useful for stirring and scraping other soups, stews, and sauces
Versatile tool:.While perfect for porridge, spurtles can also be used for mixing bread dough, stirring scrambled eggs, serving, flipping, and scraping the bottom of pans without scratching them.
Protects cookware:.The smooth, rounded edges are gentle on non-stick and cast iron cookware, making it a safe alternative to metal spoons.
