When you sort through all those kitchen utensils that take up drawer after drawer in your oh-so-well-stocked kitchen, there could be an essential item that you've forgotten. You undoubtedly have a spoon. And you've almost certainly got a spatula. But think for a second…does your culinary armory also include a spurtle?
Look, we're not going to try to lie to you. At first blush, a spurtle looks silly. Ok…it is kinda silly. But once food prep begins and seasoned chefs start wielding this do-it-all kitchen hybrid utensil, it turns out to be shockingly useful for stirring, scraping, spreading, and more. Hey, the Scots have been using spurtles for almost 500 years, so don't let the oddity distract you from their very real functionality.
If you're going to bring a spurtle into your kitchen, it may as well be one with some artistic flair, so you should definitely check out the sneaky and resourceful, yet stylishly funky Mad Hungry 3-Piece Pakka Wood Spurtle Set.
