HENDI 1000 mm beech wood stirrer for professional kitchens

A wooden stirrer moves ingredients without scratching pans or altering flavours. Unlike metal utensils, beech wood does not conduct heat, so it stays cool to the touch even when left in a hot pot. The grain is tight and smooth, preventing food from sticking and making the tool easy to clean after use.

The operator lowers the stirrer into the mixture, turns it in a steady motion to blend or emulsify, then lifts it clear. Because the wood is rigid and splinter-free, it can also be used to scrape the bottom of a pan without damaging the surface. Its length keeps hands away from steam and hot edges, reducing the risk of burns during prolonged stirring.

This stirrer is cut from a single piece of raw beech wood, eliminating the risk of layers separating that can occur with glued or laminated products. Beech is exceptionally hard and durable, resisting wear from daily use in a busy kitchen. The natural material is also gentle on non-stick coatings and enamel, extending the life of cookware.

The 1000 mm length provides reach across large stock pots and bratt pans, while the 95 mm width gives a firm grip without adding bulk. The tool is light enough to manoeuvre easily but sturdy enough to stir thick batters or sauces without bending.

Cleaning is straightforward: rinse under warm water immediately after use to prevent food from drying on, then allow to air-dry. Avoid soaking, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause the wood to swell or crack. Periodic treatment with food-safe mineral oil helps maintain the wood's smoothness and prevents it from drying out.

The stirrer is classified as a manual utensil in the HENDI catalogue, suitable for all types of professional kitchens where wooden tools are permitted.
