I had some spurtles and I liked them a lot so I got some more and I really enjoyed using them for so many things. They're very versatile. Then I wound up moving four time in two years and all but one of my spurtles wound up getting lost in various places. I cant get those back nor can I get more like them but these are as close as I've found and they are very handy in the kitchen. Great for stirring, mixing, folding, turning, and I love them for browning beef because the handles are smoother and more rounded than metal utensils plus more deft than the long bulky plastic ones. All around they are more comfortable on the hands. They are a joy to use.
