The spurtle is a wooden Scottish kitchen tool, dating from the 15th century, that is used to stir porridge, soups, stews, and broths. The rod-like shape means that porridge can be stirred without congealing and forming lumps, unlike a spoon, which would have a dragging effect during stirring.

The colours and shape at the top represent the Scotch Thistle.

A great kitchen aid which can become an indispensable, versatile, beautiful, cooking utensil. I use mine almost daily!
