Scottish Spurtle

Read our blog post: What is a Spurtle and How do you Use it?

This handmade Artisan Hardwood Scottish Spurtle is a piece of functional art. It's a beautiful, heirloom quality item that's hand carved by an Artisan woodworker in the lovely hamlet of Hemlock, NY, population 556.

This good sized, well made spurtle works wonders for stirring your pots of thick stews, soups and sauces. The sturdy design is strong enough to really get in there and make sure your mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.

Also works as a muddler or pestle.

Biscotti

I bake biscotti about once a week and my favorite is with whole roasted almonds. I’ve had great difficulty slicing the baked biscotti with the whole almond's. The knives I have used slice readily through the cookie-part of the biscotti but drag the almond through the cookie instead of slicing. Then I’m left with a crumbled and matted mess. This bread bow knife with the thin sharp blade cleanly slices through both the cookie and almonds. The bow supporting the blade helps to keep the biscotti slices uniform in size and the offset handle facilitates slicing the biscotti completely.

Thank you Wayne for sharing your experience with the Artisan Fiddle Bow Bread Knife. We're delighted to hear that it has solved your biscotti slicing struggles and provided clean and uniform slices. Too bad we can't sample a slice! We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy baking with our product. Happy slicing!
