I have, for years, used a wooden risotto spoon. Was in search of a new/replacement for the old one and saw the Staub version. Because I have used and like Staub pots and pans, I decided to give this one a try. So far, after two uses, it seems to be working well. What I want to suggest is a narrower version for use in smaller pots/pans.

All your products are made with the best quality they are easy to use and easy to clean I love them

Head is a bit smaller than I thought but rice does not stick onto the spoon which makes making fried rice so convenient.

The first thing you'll notice about the Staub collection of utensils is the gorgeous Acacia wood handles. They are rounded, smooth and gorgeous and moisture repellent unlike wood handles on lesser quality utensils that can be rough and uncomfortable to hold. The dark silicone portion on each utensil has a long neck running up the handle to keep the wood from the wood handle although they clean up perfectly either way. Risotto is one of those special dishes that needs to be stirred constantly to get that creamy texture and this spoon does the job perfectly The hole in the center allows the ingredients to pass through the middle as well as around the paddle of the spatula. The edges allow you to scrape the bottom to keep any of the risotto from burning. This spoon is perfect for your Staub cocottes but is easy on any of your cookware including your nonstick pots and pans.
