Benefits

This spatula allows for precise control when mixing sourdough, especially useful when removing dough from the edges of containers. Its ergonomic design reduces hand strain during prolonged use, while the natural wood surface provides a gentle touch that doesn’t compromise the flavor of the dough. Unlike synthetic tools, it does not absorb odors or alter the taste of the ingredients.

Usage Recommendations

Use the Skinny Spurtle during the initial mixing phase of sourdough preparation to ensure even distribution of starter and flour. It works well when transferring dough between containers or scraping the sides of jars. After each use, rinse gently with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Apply a light layer of olive oil to preserve the wood and prevent drying. Store it vertically or hang it on a kitchen hook to keep it accessible and organized.

The tool is best used with small to medium-sized batches and may not be ideal for very thick or sticky doughs that require constant stirring. Always ensure the surface is dry before storing to maintain the wood’s integrity.
