Stalgast Wooden Spreader 772289 for Pancake Dough

A wooden spreader smooths pancake batter into an even layer across the hot surface of a griddle or frying pan. The flat blade pushes the liquid mixture outward from the centre, filling the pan without leaving thin spots or thick ridges. This method relies on the natural flexibility of wood to glide over the pan's edge and the batter's surface at once, creating a consistent depth that cooks uniformly and releases cleanly when done.

To use the spreader, pour the measured batter into the centre of the heated pan. Hold the spreader by its handle and lower the blade onto the batter. Draw the blade outward in a gentle spiral or straight sweep, letting the batter flow evenly to the edges. Lift the spreader away once the pan is covered, then return it to the next portion of batter.

The spreader is made of solid wood, chosen for its light weight and smooth finish that does not scratch non-stick or seasoned surfaces. Its square shape, 180 mm across, matches the diameter of standard professional pancake pans, allowing the blade to reach every part of the cooking area in a single motion.

Cleaning is done by wiping the blade with a damp cloth immediately after use, then allowing it to air-dry. Wood should not be soaked or placed in a dishwasher, as prolonged moisture can warp the blade or loosen the handle.
