What is a spurtle?

YOUR SOON-TO-BE FAVORITE KITCHEN TOOL

The spurtle is a versatile, unique cooking tool first created and used in the 15th century. The unique shape allows for lump-free and evenly-mixed porridge, batter, soups, and more, greatly improved texture. This spurtle will be the best cookware utensil you’ll ever use and will quickly become your favorite kitchen tool! 

Unlike other spurtles, The Porridge Mom™ spurtle has a special ergonomic design that has been tested and perfected. The unique shape of the handle and the nodule on the end guarantees lump-free porridge with every use. It is made of non-toxic, sustainably sourced hardwood maple. This means it’s safe for you and the environment. Since it’s not made of plastic or metal, it can be used to stir a pot on high heat without melting or scratching the bottom.

SUSTAINABLE & NON-TOXIC HARDWOOD MAPLE

We are proud to say that The Porridge Mom™  Spurtle is Canadian made of 100% hardwood maple: non-toxic and sustainably sourced. Sustainability in Canadian forestry means that 100% of the tree is used, seeds are continuously planted, and indigenous communities are supported through employment and community initiatives.

Maple is a top wood choice for kitchen products. It is resistant to splitting or staining, and is naturally anti-bacterial, making it safe for food use. Maple wood kills bad bacteria by absorbing and suffocating it, thereby inhibiting any new growth. Maple has been recognized by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) as an approved wood for use in commercial kitchens.

Why Maple?

MAKE THE CLEAN CHOICE, CHOOSE MAPLE!

Each and every time Maple out-shines all other woods used for kitchen and cookware utensils. A Janka scale is used to measure the hardness of wood. The harder the wood, the longer it will last and when it comes to using utensils in hot food, you want your utensils to last and to not leach any sort of materials or toxins into your food. Choose the right wood for your health and peace of mind. Choose maple each and every time! Here are examples of Janka wood ratings based on the Janka hardness scale so that you can see for yourself and make the right choice for your food.
Maple: 1450     |     Cherry: 950     |     Oak: 1360
These wood species are all indigenous to North America but Maple offers the best hardness for your cooked food. Acacia and Bamboo wood varieties have many different levels of hardness which means they’re hard to measure or categorize. These wood species are not indigenous to North America. Keep in mind, these wood varieties are not grown in the western world and yet many retailers are selling utensils made of these wood varieties because it is less expensive and their profit margins can be greater. Consider your health first and make the right choice!
