Have you used a spurtle or a muddler? The spurtle is used to stir sauces, soups, stews, and oatmeal. The muddler is used to mash herbs and spices in a glass or bowl to release their flavor. I love these handcrafted ones over at Jane's new online shop, Coterie. One or both would make a perfect Mother's Day gift, or a 'just because' gift. While you are visiting Jane's shop, check out the rest of her wonderful selection of handcrafted items.
