Stalgast 1250 mm Wooden Spoon

This wooden spoon spans a full length to access deep stock pots, bratt pans, and mixing bowls safely. The extended handle allows one person to stir or fold large quantities of sauces, soups, or batters without leaning over hot surfaces or splashing liquids.

Wood is selected for its natural heat resistance and gentle effect on metal and non-stick surfaces. It avoids scratching or transferring heat to the hand, unlike metal, and does not melt or warp like plastic when exposed to heat. The material also reduces noise during stirring, which is beneficial in open kitchen environments.

The user grips the end of the handle, utilising the full length to keep hands away from steam and splashes. The spoon's bowl is broad enough to move significant volumes of liquid per stroke yet shallow enough to fold ingredients without breaking them. Its smooth, rounded edge prevents damage to pan and bowl sides.

Crafted from a single piece of hardwood, the spoon is shaped and sanded to eliminate splinters and sharp edges. The untreated surface can be seasoned with oil over time, helping to prevent drying or flavour absorption. With no joints or fastenings, there are no weak points that could fail under heavy use.

The length is measured from the tip of the bowl to the end of the handle, allowing it to reach comfortably into large vessels. Despite its length, the spoon remains lightweight enough for extended use while keeping the operator at a safe distance from hot liquids.

Cleaning is straightforward: hand wash in warm water with mild detergent, rinse, and dry immediately to avoid warping. Avoid soaking or dishwasher use, as prolonged water and heat exposure can cause swelling, cracking, or splitting. Regular oiling with food-safe mineral oil maintains the surface and prolongs the spoon's lifespan.
