Skinny Spurtle for Sourdough Starter, Mixing, Reaching Bottom of Jar, Dough Whisk, Natural from High Moist Resistance Teak, Spurtles Kitchen Tools Wooden Kitchen Utensils for NonStick Cookware

To the Sourdough whisperers and anyone who's ever stared into a jar of bubbling starter wondering, "How do I mix this without getting it everywhere?", let me introduce you to the Skinny Spurtle. I saw this online, described as being "for Sourdough Starter," and thought, "Is this the specialized tool my life has been missing? Is this the key to a perfectly mixed, non-exploding starter?" My curiosity (and a few messy feeding sessions) got the better of me.When this little wooden wonder arrived, it was exactly as pictured: a long, thin, elegantly shaped piece of teak wood. It felt smooth and lightweight, like a tiny, artisanal paddle. My regular spoons, which had been doing double duty as starter stirrers, looked on with a mixture of disdain and resignation. Their reign was over.Using the Skinny Spurtle for the first time felt surprisingly satisfying. It slides into the jar with ease, reaching all the way to the bottom to coax every last bit of flour and water into the mix. The "skinny" design is key – it navigates the curves of the jar perfectly, scraping down the sides without making a mess. It's like a tiny, highly trained spatula for your starter. My starter, Bubbles (yes, still Bubbles, and now living in a fancy Weck jar, see my other review!), seemed to appreciate the gentle, thorough mixing. It bubbled with renewed vigor.But it's not just for sourdough. I've used this spurtle for getting the last bits of jam out of a jar (it's a jam-retrieval ninja!), stirring sauces in small pots, and generally poking things I probably shouldn't be poking. Its versatility is a quiet superpower.The teak wood is beautiful and feels durable. It's easy to clean – just a quick rinse – and the recommendation to oil it occasionally makes me feel like I'm performing a small act of woodworking maintenance, which is oddly satisfying.If you have a sourdough starter, or just appreciate a well-designed, multi-purpose wooden tool that makes mixing and scraping a breeze (and looks good doing it), this Skinny Spurtle is a fantastic addition to your kitchen. It's simple, effective, and has brought a surprising amount of ease and satisfaction to my baking routine. I'm thoroughly impressed with this elegant little stick.

I love this wooden spurdel. It works greater for stirring my starter. It's easy to clean and is holding up well. I periodically wipe it down with a little olive oil to keep the wood nice. Would Definitely recommend.

I have begun with a sourdough starter and this is the perfect little tool. It worked really well to scrape all the established starter from a small jar into a larger wide-mouth jar. It seems very sturdy and I have very happy with how it feels in my hand.

These are perfectly awesome. Spittle’s are so easy to cook with. Size and shapes are great for removing product from jars like peanut butter. And the shorter ones for mayonnaise etc. I absolutely loved these packs big spoon and slotted fork for salads. Will last for years. I like the grained wood. Once you get these there is no going back to metal cooking utensils.

Great product. So glad I ordered these. Made well. Works great. Look great. Never had this product before

I love, love, love my sourdough Spurtle. It is easy to use and helps mix the ingredients or feed my starter quickly. Easy to clean. I wish I had bought one sooner, because I feel like this was easier than trying to use my spatulas.

Durable little cooking utensils. Look great and work great

I love my spurtle! It makes doing my sourdough so much easier. I was continually breaking the silicone style. It washes up so nicely and let’s be honest, it’s beautiful!
