The 26th Annual World Porridge Making Championship has provided a boost for a wooden kitchen tool – the spurtle. The championship –which took place last weekend (October 12) – see porridge cooks compete to win the Golden Spurtle trophy.
Interviewed on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, this year’s winner Lisa Williams said admitted to owning seven spurtles in her kitchen in Surrey. Not just for stirring porridge, Lisa said the wooden tool is excellent for stirring soups and cake batters rather than a spoon “because it doesn’t have the bowl so it gets into the corners of the pan.”
