A porridge spurtle is a Scottish stirring utensil. This beechwood thistle end porridge stick is used to stir oatmeal in the traditional way.
Though the spurtle is ideal for making porridge, it can also be used to stir anything from soup and mashed potatoes to milk pudding and custards.
Most family spurtles were homemade with the end carved into a traditional emblem like a Scottish thistle. Spurtles originate from days the days when oatmeal was cooked overnight in huge pots that hung inside the fireplace.
