"Quality counts" star star star star star This review is for an older version of this product This product is exactly the reason why I have been shopping with Lakeland for decades! It is sturdy, great quality and most importantly: appears to be designed by cooks for cooks. As I seem to spend all Autumn making various chutneys, jams and other preserves; this spoon is the right size to get to the bottom of my preserving pan with ease and makes large batches so much easier to deal with. Thank you Lakeland for a simple and robust product that will last years (and I also have one for vinegar-based chutney and one for jam too).
"Wonderful Spoon!" star star star star star I decided to purchase a preserving spoon as I always have to get all the equipment when doing something new! I must say this spoon is very useful. I chose not to invest in a maslin pan; instead I use my non stick hard anodised stock pot. This spoon is perfect as it gets into all the corners of the pan and does not scratch the non stick surface. The length of the spoon is a real benefit so your hand is not too close to the boiling hot preserve! A must have for anyone preserving at home.
"Just what I needed" star star star star star I make several pints of tomato based sauce in one go, in the Lakeland My Kitchen Stockpot & I have never found a spoon that would reach right to the bottom of the mix. Problem now solved thanks to this spoon. It is very long & very substaintal and in a few short weeks it has earned its place in my kitchen. I wouldn't be without it.
"Brilliant product" star star star star star This spoon is really good for making chutney where the fruit/veg are more robust than for jam and a lot of stirring is involved. It's a good length and the blade is shaped a bit for scraping the corners of the pan.The hook is a definite plus as the spoon can dangle from the pan handle and the drips go back in the pan. Having laughed at me for buying it, my husband has now 'borrowed' it for wine-making........
"Fantastic item" star star star star star I purchased this with the Maslin pan and it has proved ideal. The hook makes it so much easier, no drips, and the flat bottom stirs well and stops any sticking. A brilliant product. Thank you Lakeland.
