Wooden Spurtle

A little more about the Spurtle

The spurtle (or “spurtel”, “spurtil”, “spirtle”, or “spartle”) is a wooden Scottish kitchen tool, dating from the 15th century. It is used to stir porridge, soups, stews, and broths.

The rod-like shape means that porridge can be stirred without congealing and forming lumps. Traditional spurtles have stylised thistles at the top, while modern ones often have a smooth taper.

The custom is that a spurtle should be used to stir in a clockwise direction with the right hand!

Our Spurtle design

These beautiful hand turned Spurtles are carved from sustainably sourced, reclaimed timber. Each is approx. L255  x W 20mm.
Our untippable design has moved the mass to the working tip so it doesn’t topple out of the pan!
