RSVP Spurtle

A spurtle is a traditional Scottish kitchen tool that combines the functions of a spoon and a spatula. Unlike a flat spatula, its elongated, slightly curved shape makes it superior for stirring, whisking, and scraping the corners of pots where standard utensils often miss.

Yes. Because olive wood is a natural, relatively soft material, it will not scratch or damage the coating on your non-stick cookware.

Hand wash the spurtle with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately; never put it in the dishwasher. To keep the wood from drying out, periodically rub it with a food-safe mineral oil to nourish the grain and maintain its finish.

While the spurtle is durable, it is best suited for stirring, mixing, and folding rather than resting in a hot pan for extended periods. Olive wood is heat-resistant, but like all natural wood, it can scorch if left directly on a high-heat surface.

Olive wood is a dense, non-porous hardwood, which makes it more resistant to absorbing odors and stains than softer woods. However, it is always best practice to wash it promptly after use with pungent ingredients.
