A Stirsby is used primarily to stir with - sauces, stir-fry, soup, risottos. Most use it the way they use a wooden spoon but now prefer the more comfortable Stirsby.

The finish is a food safe walnut oil used on wooden salad bowls. It can be renewed with any mineral oil or butcher block oil if you so desire.

Each Stirsby is made individually so no two are exactly alike. They are made from non-first growth hardwoods and scrap wood of Walnut, Cherry, Maple and Ash. Each Stirsby comes with a label identifying the species of wood used from the working end to the handle's tip.
