Great for mixing my sourdough starter. Very sturdy.

I'm a Sourdough baker and I have seen these spurtles advertised. Thought I'd give them a try. I am also a kitchen gadget geek. Since stirring the starter can be quite the challenge,I normally use an Acacia wooden spoon. However, the "Spurtle" is a pleasant surprise. They fit nicely in my hand and are light weight but very effective. The super sticky Sourdough starter drips right off and very easy to clean. Buy them! Now if you will excuse me, there is cawfee to swill. And a Sourdough monster to feed. Always forward y'all.

Sourdough live savers, I didn’t know what else to mix my starter with, these are easy to scrape off and not lose any dough!

My husband laughs because it just looks like a stick, but it’s a workhorse and is great when mixing thick sourdough starter.

Perfect for mixing my sourdough starter! Very sturdy and washes easily as well.

These spurtles arrived nicely and were very aesthetically pleasing at first. However, using them is a different story. I bought them after seeing so many on social media use these wood spurtles with their sourdough starter. The wood gets very rough after one gentle hand wash. The sheen completely fades too. Each time I have used the spurtle to stir my starter, I have ended up with calluses. A tool to assist you in the kitchen should not cause blisters and pain, it should help make the job easier. I switched to my silicone spatula/scraper and no blisters and no pain. I thought maybe it was a fluke with the spurtle so I tried again. Again, the wood spurtle left me with calluses. So these are a no go for me. You probably have to oil them to keep them from turning dull. They might be ok as a kitchen ornament, but it is a big no from me. I got influenced on social media. A waste of money and painful blisters. Disappointed. I will stick with silicone to protect my hands while working with sourdough starter.

Love these!!! So much help in starter to stir and combine and scrape sides.Makes life easier. Totally recommend. Don’t have the other supplies ppl do but do have these!
