The Shapes
We tried hundreds of samples over several years—some hand carved and some machine made. We found ourselves gravitating to three shapes in our own cooking: a spoon, a spatula, and a spoontula.
The spoon is self-explanatory and does what spoons do best: stir, taste, scoop, and serve.
The spatula has the sharpest edge for getting underneath things. We use it for frying, especially scraping up the fond with foods that caramelize a bit like onions and mushrooms. It’s also fantastic for scrambled eggs. The head shape is the right size that blends maneuverability with scoopability.
The spoontula is a hybrid—and one of the Field team's favorites. It provides some edge to scrape up food from a pan’s surface, but also a bit of a bowl so your food does not fall out.
We’re always using a couple when we cook and a couple serving, so for us, having a set of 3 was imperative.
