Hey, wait!  Is it “really” a spurtle if it isn’t made of acacia wood??

I thought spurdles were made of wood.  Amazon carries them.

I'm surprised to see the same word used - Spurtle.  I would have assumed the vendor on QVC would have trademarked it.  However, this (7 pc  set) appears to be made out of plastic - and plastic I would prefer.  When the vendor divides an egg white from yolk - I always think........well you can't use that Spurtle again until it goes through the dishwasher.  Obviously some manufacturer copied the product - made it cheaper and better in plastic.

Looks like the same Vendor's emblem on the packaging to me....Mad Hungry

I would use the same tool again after separating an egg as I hand wash all my kitchen stuff ( I don't own a dishwasher). 

 

Thanks for letting us know about this...I may have to go buy for myself! I love kitchen tools!

@fthunt The silicone ones from Sam's are made by Mad Hungry the same person that makes the Acacia wood sets QVC sells.

I bought those plus have a couple different sets in the Acacia wood Q sells.

HSN has a 3 pc Bamboo set by Simply Ming for $19.99 that comes with a large slotted spurtle, large solid spurtle & small solid spurtle.

I thought wood as not supposed to go through the dishwasher.

A spurtle is a generic term.  I believe they were first used in Great Britain, Scotland, more specifically.  I first saw them in use on the old Galloping Gourmet television show in the nineteen seventies which starred Graham Kerr.

These are silicone, not just regular plastic....and yes, I agree...Mad Hungry is the SAME QVC vendor,.

 

They had the silicone ones on Q but they sold out really fast.  I got them and like them better than the wood ones.

 

I had 2 sets of wood...one bamboo, one acacia wood.  BOTH had pieces that started to split!  I NEVER put wood in the dishwasher.  Hand wash only and dry immediately.

 

Mad Hungry supposedly has a year guarantee.  These were UNDER 1 yr.  I followed the instructions and emailed pics of the damage and copies of receipts.  I NEVER REC'D MY REPLACEMENTS.  I emailed and emailed, only to get a 'form' response.  QVC C/S had no phone number for me to call.  Finally gave up.

 

The silicone ones are much better and this is a great price!! 

 

Thanks for posting it.
