Stalgast 1000 mm Wood Spoon for Professional Kitchens

A wood spoon moves sauces, batters and stews without scratching metal or non-stick surfaces. The broad, flat blade spreads heat evenly while stirring, preventing hot spots that can scorch delicate mixtures. Wood does not conduct heat, so the handle stays cool to the touch even during prolonged cooking. Its natural surface is gentle on cookware, making it a standard tool for stirring risottos, reducing sauces and folding egg whites without breaking their structure.

The operator loads the spoon by gripping the handle and lowering the bowl into the mixture. A steady, circular motion keeps ingredients in motion, blending flavours and textures without incorporating excess air. When the dish is ready, the spoon lifts food cleanly, leaving minimal residue on the sides of the pan. The length allows the user to reach the back of deep stockpots or bratt pans without leaning over hot surfaces, reducing the risk of burns.

This 1000 mm spoon is cut from a single piece of hardwood, giving it a solid feel without joints that could trap food or harbour bacteria. The smooth finish resists absorption, so flavours do not transfer between dishes. Over time, the wood develops a patina that further seals the surface, making it easier to clean.

Cleaning follows from the material: wash by hand in warm, soapy water immediately after use, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Never soak the spoon or place it in a dishwasher, as prolonged moisture can cause warping or cracking. Periodic treatment with food-safe mineral oil restores the wood's natural moisture barrier and prevents drying or splitting.

The 1000 mm length is chosen for deep vessels common in professional kitchens, such as stockpots, bratt pans and large mixing bowls. The size also allows the spoon to double as a serving utensil for family-style dishes or buffet service, where a long reach keeps hands away from hot food.

This utensil is filed under kitchen hand tools in the Stalgast catalogue, alongside other wood and stainless-steel implements for stirring, serving and portioning.
