Spurtels

Elom — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 01:51:13 GMT

This is another item I bought and couldn't get used to using as I thought they were bulky. I purchased the two set large and small awhile back. Well today I was watching the presentation because I saw that they now have colored handles and two more pieces and realized I was using them for more than I should have. The slotted one especially and saw some interesting uses for that one. I have used the smaller one a few times. So out they are coming this week after I saw them "fly out the door" and sold out. I did like the smallest one though. The rep is certainly a spirited lady and had to smile she wouldn't stop for David just kept on showing how to use them.

I'm a great lover of kitchen items, but I never could get interested in spurtles.

I have both sets Q has online right now. I love them & use all the time. I think we probably use the smaller ones more often which is why I bought both sets. They should offer a set of 2 of the solid 8 1/2" with 2 of the 8 1/2" slim spurtles.

They're fabulous. I use them all the time. When my hubby cooks he also uses them a lot. He oves them too. It was a good purchase for me.

I recently got a spurtle set and I love it. The shorter solid piece is wonderful.

I have the original spurtle set. I agree I like the smaller one and mostly only use that one. Also I still find myself reaching for my regular spatula for certain things. No different than an old fashioned wooden spoon set really!

I'm an anti wood utinsel person so I've never been interested in them, but they get great reviews. I'd get a plastic one as I like the shape.

Someting I bought and didn't like was the big silicone forks. I forget what they're even called.

@debic I bought a set of 2 silicone coated larger forks. They really come in handy except the tip off one came off so who knows where it went or who ate it??? I had not had them long enough at that time for this happened. I won't be buying them again.

They just seem too bulky for me. Emeril has some thin metal type ones. But I couldn't use those in my nonstick pans.

I use my spurtles all the time and LOVE them. The short one is just great for breaking up hamburger or sausage and other types of sauteeing. I use it every day. The longer ones are good for stiring up pasta and especially soups. Since there is so much surface area, they really move the soup around. I have given these to my children, and they don't know how they got along without them before!

I got these some time back when they first came out with a little tray. The funny thing is - I bought them JUST for that tray because I had a specific purpose for which to use the tray part. But, by the time I got them I forgot what that purpose was. Still haven't remembered that.

As for the tools, I haven't used them at all. I have a small collection of really nice olive wood utensils that I really love. The quality is incredible and they will last forever. My oldest olive wood utensil is decades old and still perfect, except for some seasoning. I take good care of them, of course.

Between my olive utensils, some that are rubber type stuff, and many that are silicone, I'm set. I can't see anything for which these would be as handy, or more handy than what I already have.

To be honest, I'm not really fond of cheap wood for kitchen use. I will pick up the olive wood utensils every time I am looking for a wooden utensil. I got this awesome set back when Chef's was still in business. They are just stunning. The big spoon is a piece of art.

But, maybe one day I'll remember why I ordered that set of spurtles for the little tray. I'm turning into an idiot. hehe
