Kitchen Accessories
I love to cook. In fact, when I'm not in the wood shop, my second home is the kitchen.
Nothing makes cooking more enjoyable than having the right tools. Just like in the shop, And using wooden utensils enhances your cooking experience.
I use every kitchen accessory featured on this page, and quite a few of them are the second, third or fourth modification, changes I made until I felt they were completely right. I know you will enjoy them as much as I do!

Chef's Spurtles
This is by far the best all round kitchen utensil you'll ever use. The Chef's Spurtle will become your "go to" every time in the kitchen. How does it work? The straight bottom edge is used for scraping the sides of pots, while the small curve gets in the bottom corner. The larger front curve works inside frying pans and bowls, while the top curve is used to draining liquids from pots while keeping food inside. Best of all, the front is tapered for use as a spatula/flipper. It even fits inside soup and tomato paste cans for easy clean out. Because it is made of wood, it won't scratch your non-stick cookware. If you have more than one cook in the family, you'd better buy two! Available in maple, cherry and walnut.
$10 each

Scottish Spurtles
Used in Scotland for centuries for stirring porridge or oatmeal, these stirrers are excellent for thick sauces, stews and hot cereals. The straight barrel goes right to the edge of the pot, and the round shape prevents forming lumps. You can stir quickly without the splash-up of a spoon. They are also excellent for stirring "fragile" food like boiling ravioli or pierogis. While simple looking, you really have to try one to appreciate it!
