A while ago I was bleating on (as I do) about the lack of "smallholder sized" cookware available. Normal sized wooden spoons just don't cut it for bulk processing 
I explained what I needed and why - and was delighted that two members here sorted me out. I have laready posted up Kepis masterpiece stirrer spoons. What I haven't yet shown is the amazing spoons Muddypaws has made us
I described at the time my favourite spoon design - with a flat bottom to scrape the bottom of pans a sharp corner to get into that angle between the side and the base. Muddypaws kindly took the design and supersized it!
At the bottom is the spoon that I like but its just too small - at the top is one of the two spoons Muddypaws made. No bear in mind that the bottom one is a normal sized spoon and you get an idea of scale

But here - with 12 pounds of rhubarb in a 17 litre pot you can see the problem with a small spoon and how much more appropriate the new one is

...and bear in mind that we use pans twice that size!
..and proof that it works just fine - just 4 hours of macerating to go then we cook. Can you imagine stirring that pan with the little spoon when its hot??
