Good quality and easy to clean. Great mixing tool.

I'm a Sourdough baker and I have seen these spurtles advertised. Thought I'd give them a try. I am also a kitchen gadget geek. Since stirring the starter can be quite the challenge,I normally use an Acacia wooden spoon. However, the "Spurtle" is a pleasant surprise. They fit nicely in my hand and are light weight but very effective. The super sticky Sourdough starter drips right off and very easy to clean. Buy them! Now if you will excuse me, there is cawfee to swill. And a Sourdough monster to feed. Always forward y'all.

Perfect for mixing four dough starter!

Very helpful in breaking down the lumps of flour while feeding my sourdough starter.

These spurtles arrived nicely and were very aesthetically pleasing at first. However, using them is a different story. I bought them after seeing so many on social media use these wood spurtles with their sourdough starter. The wood gets very rough after one gentle hand wash. The sheen completely fades too. Each time I have used the spurtle to stir my starter, I have ended up with calluses. A tool to assist you in the kitchen should not cause blisters and pain, it should help make the job easier. I switched to my silicone spatula/scraper and no blisters and no pain. I thought maybe it was a fluke with the spurtle so I tried again. Again, the wood spurtle left me with calluses. So these are a no go for me. You probably have to oil them to keep them from turning dull. They might be ok as a kitchen ornament, but it is a big no from me. I got influenced on social media. A waste of money and painful blisters. Disappointed. I will stick with silicone to protect my hands while working with sourdough starter.

I use these basically every day! They have held up really well and fit perfectly in your hand as you mix or scrape. I love the versatility more than I expected to and find new ways to use them every time I cook/bake. So much more than a sourdough tool
