Have you ever wondered why risotto spoons have a hole in the head piece? It allows the rice to move through while you stir, rubbing grains and making the risotto creamy and smooth.

The asymmetrical shape of the spoon is not just a design feature either. The pointy tip allows you to reach all the way into the corners of la Cocotte, making sure you stir every grain of rice in your risotto to create a perfect dish.

The risotto spoon can be used for a variety of other dishes, too. It works wonderfully with polenta, rich sauces and of course other rice dishes like paella and one-pot curries.

Being part of the new STAUB utensils range, the risotto spoon is made of high-quality material for best results. The black matte silicone is heat resistant up to 220°C and does not leave scratches on enamelled cast iron or non-stick coated pans.

The ergonomic handle was made from acacia wood, giving it a nice feel, and has a hole for hanging storage. With their timeless design, all the utensils fit in perfectly with our ranges of cooking vessels and tableware.
