Product Information

Then there are the toppings. “Dad taught us how to eat it,” Lee recalls. “Crumble soft, dark brown sugar on top, cover with a plate and leave for five minutes.” Once the sugar has dissolved, grab a spoon. “Lift [the porridge] up and spoon [it] through a bowl of cold cream and milk. It’s lovely.” Cloake is also one for brown sugar, although, “for a fruitcake vibe”, has been known to add candied peel, nutmeg and sweet spices. Burr goes for brown butter, flaked almonds, or hazelnut butter, while Anand’s go-tos include roast pistachios, dried dates, roughly mashed banana or mango, or coconut milk powder, “for a nice, coconutty flavour and creaminess”.

When we want a healthy and filling breakfast, porridge is always our go to. Porridge is a great way to start the day because oats are a complex carbohydrate, which provide slow-releasing energy throughout the morning and keep you going until lunch. Every cook is familiar with the result of overheating: scorching. By stirring while heating up food, we can prevent scorching and still heat up food to a high temperature. But what helps when heating, can also be useful when cooling things down. Food that is stirred cools down faster. With porridge still a regular at breakfast tables across the land, Brian Stormont looks at the history of a true Scottish classic. A: These are not dishwasher safe. Don’t let them soak in water. They wash of very easily. Whats the best wood for a spurtle?Old Scots spurtell is recorded from 1528. The Northern English dialect had a word spartle that meant "stirrer". The modern West Germanic and North Germanic languages, as well as Middle English, also have spurtle cognates that refer to a flat-bladed tool or utensil – so more akin to the couthie spurtle (see below) in shape. Latin spatula, as used in medicine and pharmacy, is their shared ancestor. Spatula is a diminutive of Latin spatha, a broad, flat tool or weapon, which in turn is from Ancient Greek σπαθη ("spathe"), the broad, flat tool used in weaving, or a paddle. The ultimate source of σπαθη is hypothesized to come from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) language *spe-dh- for spade and its root *spe- for a long, flat piece of wood. According to this theory, spade and spoon are also suggested as having derived from the same hypothetical PIE *spe-, potentially making those words distant cousins of spurtle. [1] [4] Couthie spurtle [ edit ] However, competition sponsors Hamlyns have stepped in to ensure that the show does indeed go on, virtually at least, by creating an online speciality contest. The graph appeared and I confess it was really exciting to watch the points appear. A straight line down from top left to bottom right over a huge range of stirring speeds. As David had suspected, the viscosity declines linearly with the speed of rotation. There are two materials to choose from. Silicone: These are dishwasher-safe, and heat-safe up to 400°F. And there are loads of colors to choose from. Wooden: These are just so pretty, you wouldn’t be at all sorry to have them at the table as serving pieces. Can spurtle go in dishwasher? The best traditional. This type of spurtle also works well for stirring doughs and mixing batter. …

You have to remember the whole thing is run by volunteers and we have a very enthusiastic bunch of people who are keen both for the competition to succeed and for the village to be promoted.” The second reason for stirring is mixing the ingredients. Through stirring, solid substances in liquids such as milk or water dissolve faster. Furthermore, the speed of chemical reactions between ingredients or during the heating of ingredients increases.The organising committee is optimistic that the current Covid-19 pandemic eases to allow them to return to normal service in 2021.
