Stainless paddle / spoon

[Oneflewover]

Right, I have well and truly had enough of my poxy plastic spoon. I've been looking at stainless paddles, and thought this one looked good value:

Anyone got a better value alternative? Cheers

I got this one which looks the same but a bit cheaper, as long as you're not in a hurry for it.

Many thanks.
I assume that you're happy with it?

Hi!
I went for wood - read somewhere that it absorbs less heat from the mash.

It's also very good when I'm out in the canoe :grin:
Thinking about it, comparing wood with ss we are probably talking about such a small loss in temperature that it matters not one whit.

I got the £15 paddle....does the job and good for rounding up the kids and dogs and keeping the Mrs in line. ...

Ive got a massive wooden spoon (it's about 2ft long) that I bought from Khan's Bargains up the road for a few quid

I lost my rag with the plastic one when it bent trying to stir a mash.
I bought the metal Padle type and I'm really pleased with it.

Why are we typing small words ?

...so as to not wake Myqul 's big spoon up...everyone knows that!

Thanks all. I like the look of the wooden ones, but I don't have a Khans (?) near me, and the one bigcol posted is a bit rich for me. Stainless it is!

Hi!
I think I linked to the wrong product - mine was about �£20. I wanted a long paddle (3 foot in old money).

If you haven't pulled the trigger yet, you can get a long wooden spoon (for either mashing or supping with gunge :twisted: ) from ebay in germany for about the same as those SS ones steve linked

I just use a couple of feet long aluminium strip, inch wide, couple of mm thick, which I bought in B&Q years ago and had kicking about my shed. Can't remember how much it cost bit probably a fiver or thereabouts. Can't remember what I bought it for either... now why did I just walk upstairs?

This is just small talk

OT: is Wood preferable to SS?? I still use a large plastic but agree it can be annoying as it bends especially at the lower end of a big pot.

Also does a solid spoon or a paddle with sieve holes in make any odds??

I like wood because it wont scratch the bottom of my pot

I think holes are so you can break up any dough ball. I use a balloon whisk for that

I have the stainless which is handy for use in the kettle as well, I stick it in for last ten minutes of the boil so it's sterile for whirlpooling the cooled wort.

I think I may make a wood one though as the SS is a bit short for a deep, thick mash in my drinks cooler mash tun.

Hi!
I use the wooden paddle during the boil to "scrape" the bottom of the boiler.

Well I finally got around to replacing the flimsy crappy plastic spoon, but went for a wooden one in the end from homebrewonline http://www.home-brew-online.com/equipment-c40/speidel-wooden-mash-paddle-p3051
