Expert Review and  Insights

In a professional kitchen, you rely on your tools to perform, day in, day out. The Matfer Exoglass range has a stellar reputation for a reason; it bridges the gap between the heat-resistance of metal and  the pan-friendliness of plastic. This spoon is exceptionally rigid and  feels practically indestructible, making it a sound investment for any high-volume environment.

  • Rigid by Design: Its strength means there's no flexibility for scraping bowl sides.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Northern Pot', a popular stew and  casserole bistro in York, were frustrated with their kitchen utensils. Their standard nylon spoons were becoming discoloured from tomato and  turmeric-based dishes and  were starting to fray at the edges from constant use and  high dishwasher temperatures.

"We needed a professional catering spoon that could live in a hot pot on the stove without melting or staining. The Matfer Exoglass spoon has been brilliant. It looks as good today as it did six months ago, and  we run it through the dishwasher multiple times a day. It's just solid."

Robert Davies – Owner

The bistro eliminated the need to replace serving spoons every month, leading to a noticeable reduction in their sundry expenses and  kitchen waste.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack from the protective sleeve.
  • Give it a quick wash in warm, soapy water or run it through the dishwasher before its first use.
  • That's it! It's ready for action straight away.

Keeping It Going

  • This spoon is fully dishwasher safe for convenient, hygienic cleaning.
  • To maintain its integrity, avoid leaving it in direct contact with open flames or electric hotplates.
  • Its non-porous surface resists most stains, but it's always good practice to rinse after use with strong-coloured foods like beetroot or turmeric.
  • Store in a utensil crock or drawer with other non-metal utensils to prevent scratching.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Kitchen Utensil

Not sure which utensil is right for the job? Getting the details right can make a huge difference to kitchen workflow. Here are a few tips to guide you.

Material is Everything

Consider what you'll be using it for. Metal is durable but can scratch pans. Silicone is flexible but can sometimes lack strength. A composite like Exoglass offers a fantastic balance of high heat resistance and  rigidity for heavy-duty tasks.

Match Length to Pot Depth

A short spoon in a deep stockpot is a recipe for burnt knuckles. A 15-inch serving spoon like this one is a versatile length, providing excellent reach for large pots, soup kettles, and  buffet pans, keeping hands safe from steam and  splatters.

Prioritise Hygiene

Always opt for one-piece construction. Utensils made from a single mould have no seams, joints, or crevices where food particles and  bacteria can accumulate, making them far easier to clean thoroughly and  safer for food prep.

Check the Heat Rating

Don't get caught out by melting utensils. For any tool used on the stove, check its maximum temperature. A high heat resistant spoon rated to at least 200°C gives you peace of mind when stirring, simmering, and  serving hot dishes.

Consider the Grip

An ergonomically designed handle isn't just a luxury; it reduces fatigue and  improves safety. A comfortable, non-slip grip is essential for control when you're stirring a thick sauce or serving hundreds of portions a day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this spoon safe to use in non-stick pans?

A: While Exoglass is less abrasive than metal, it is a very hard, rigid material. For delicate non-stick surfaces, we'd recommend using a silicone or soft plastic utensil to be completely safe.

Q: Can I leave this spoon resting in a hot pot on the stove?

A: Yes, it is designed to withstand continuous temperatures up to 220°C, so it will not melt or warp if left in a hot sauce or soup while cooking.

Q: What exactly is Exoglass made of?

A: It's a patented composite polymer material, reinforced for extra strength and  heat resistance. It's developed specifically for the demands of professional kitchenware.

Q: Is the Matfer J098 serving spoon flexible?

A: No, it is designed to be extremely rigid and  strong. It will not bend, which is ideal for stirring very thick mixtures like stews or mashed potatoes.

Q: Does it stain with foods like tomato sauce or curry?

A: Its non-porous surface is highly resistant to staining and  it won't absorb colours or odours, even from potent ingredients.

Q: Is it dishwasher safe?

A: Absolutely. It's designed for professional kitchens and  is perfectly safe to be cleaned in a commercial or domestic dishwasher.

Q: How much does it weigh?

A: It's very lightweight for its size and  strength, weighing just 90 grams, making it comfortable to use for extended periods.

Q: Is the handle solid?

A: Yes, it features a one-piece, solid construction which makes it both stronger and  more hygienic than utensils with hollow or multi-part handles.

What is Exoglass and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever wondered what makes 'Exoglass' so special? It’s not just a fancy name for plastic. Think of it as the carbon fibre of the kitchen utensil world. While a standard nylon spoon is like a basic bicycle frame, Exoglass is a high-performance composite material, specifically engineered for the intense heat and  stress of a commercial kitchen. This means it has several key advantages. It's completely non-porous, so it can't absorb moisture, flavours, or bacteria – making it far more hygienic. This is also why it resists staining so effectively. Its core benefit is its incredible rigidity and  ability to withstand heat up to 220°C without warping, melting or releasing harmful substances. In short, it’s a safer, stronger, and  more durable material for tools that you rely on every single day.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant & Pub Kitchens: An essential for the line, perfect for stirring large pots of soup, chilli, or Bolognese.
  • Event Caterers: Ideal for serving from deep chafing dishes and  bain-maries at buffets and  functions.
  • School & Canteen Kitchens: Its robust, hygienic design makes it perfect for high-volume, daily food prep and  service.
  • Delis & Takeaways: Great for portioning hot foods like curries or pasta bakes from the hot-hold counter.
