Collection: Spurtle

Hand Made Contemporary Spurtle

This uniquely Scottish tool dates back to the fifteenth century, and originally resembled a long thin wooden spatula, which proved to be ideal for stirring oatmeal /porridge and gruel/soups and stews. Latterly, the spurtle has evolved into a long, wooden tapered stick, which although effective for stirring, is pretty useless at spooning/scraping out the pot contents, requiring the use of another tool/spatula/spoon to get the stuff out. More washing up.

Having made and used the stick version for years, I'd had enough, so I designed my own contemporary version of a spurtle, with a nod to the original design. So here you have it, a long, slim spatula angled at the bottom which will do everything required of a spurtle, as well as being my go-to kitchen tool for making light and creamy scrambled eggs. 

Hand made from Cornish cherry, with a contrasting teak spacer, fixed with two oak rivets, and having a handy hanging loop, my all new spurtle has been very popular since I introduced it in my shop midway through 2024. It sold very well alongside my toaster tongs - another must-have kitchen tool that you never knew you desperately needed. Both sold particularly well on the build up to Christmas, as they make unusual and affordable presents.

Approx dimensions: 30 cm long x 3 cm wide x 1 cm thick.
