10/30/2006 Archived Entry: "What is a Spurtle?"

Vicki Rosensweig was making sorbet, and said: "My spurtle may be permanently blue." Huh? A totally new word to me. Apparently a spurtle is something cylinder-shaped to stir things with, especially your oatmeal. I don't cook whole oats often (mostly Quaker non-quick oats), so I'm not sure why you particularly don't want to tear the oats. More on this at Wikipedia, of course.
