Expert Review and  Insights

The Matfer Bourgeat spoon is one of those simple, no-nonsense tools that just works. It feels solid and  balanced in your hand, without the flimsy feel of cheap plastic or the heat transference of metal.

  • Top-Tier Durability: This spoon genuinely withstands high heat without softening or losing its shape.
  • No Hanging Loop: A minor niggle, but it means you can't hang it up easily.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Old Forge Inn" in Hereford was constantly replacing cheap plastic serving spoons that were melting or snapping during busy Sunday lunch services. They needed a more robust and  professional solution that could handle high-volume use in their carvery station.

"We were fed up with tools letting us down mid-service. The Matfer spoon is in a different league. It's tough as old boots, easy to clean, and  the long handle is brilliant for reaching into the deep gravy and  vegetable pans. It feels like a proper professional tool because it is."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

The investment led to zero utensil breakages in over a year, improving kitchen efficiency and  removing the recurring cost of replacements.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • No assembly required – it's ready to use straight out of the box.
  • Give it a quick wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • That's it! It’s ready for the heat of the kitchen.

Keeping It Going

  • This spoon is fully dishwasher safe for easy and  hygienic cleaning.
  • To maintain its smooth surface, avoid using abrasive metal scourers.
  • The one-piece design means no tricky areas where food can get trapped.
  • Store it in a utensil drawer or pot with your other go-to tools.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Kitchen Utensils

Not sure which utensil is the right fit for your kitchen? Let's break down what really matters when choosing your tools.

Material Matters

Your pan type dictates the material. Use stainless steel for stainless steel pans, but for non-stick surfaces, a non-scratch material like Exoglass or silicone is essential to protect your investment.

Check the Heat Resistance

Always check the maximum temperature a utensil can handle. A high heat rating (like 220°C) is crucial for tools used directly in hot pots, preventing melting and  potential food contamination.

Get the Right Length

A long handle (12"+) is vital for safety when working with deep stock pots or bain-maries, keeping your hands clear of hot liquids and  steam.

Prioritise Hygiene

Look for one-piece construction. Utensils with joins or separate handles can harbour bacteria in hard-to-clean crevices, posing a food safety risk.

Match the Tool to the Task

Using a spoon when you need a scraper is inefficient. Building a small arsenal of specific tools—a sturdy serving spoon, a flexible spatula, a deep ladle—makes every job faster and  easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this serving spoon dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, absolutely. It's designed for commercial kitchens, so it's built to withstand repeated cycles in a commercial dishwasher for quick and  easy sanitation.

Q: What exactly is Exoglass?

A: It's a high-performance composite material patented by Matfer Bourgeat. It’s prized for being extremely durable, non-porous, and  heat resistant up to 220°C.

Q: Will it scratch my non-stick pans?

A: No, it is designed to be gentle on all cookware surfaces, including delicate non-stick coatings. It's a much safer alternative to metal spoons.

Q: How long is the handle?

A: The total length of the spoon is 455mm, which is approximately 18 inches, making it ideal for deep pots.

Q: Can I use this for deep frying at very high temperatures?

A: It's rated for up to 220°C, which covers most boiling and  simmering tasks. For deep frying, which often exceeds this, we'd recommend a perforated metal utensil instead.

Q: Is the spoon flexible or rigid?

A: It is very rigid and  strong, designed for stirring heavy contents and  lifting generous portions without bending.

Q: Does it stain easily with things like tomato sauce or turmeric?

A: No, the Exoglass material is non-porous, which means it resists staining and  doesn't absorb colours or odours, keeping it hygienic.

Q: Is the handle solid?

A: Yes, it is a one-piece construction, which makes it incredibly strong and  hygienic as there are no seams or gaps for food to get trapped in.

What Customers Are Saying

"This is a proper workhorse of a spoon. It’s been used daily in hot sauces and  curries for months and  still looks brand new. Can't recommend it enough."

Raj Singh – Indian Takeaway, Leicester

"Excellent spoon, very sturdy and  the perfect length for our deep stock pots. My only tiny gripe is that it doesn't have a hole for hanging."

Fiona Campbell – Boutique Hotel, Edinburgh

"Finally, a spoon that doesn't scratch my non-stick pans or melt when I leave it resting on the side. A brilliant bit of kit."

Tom Williams – Café Owner, Cardiff

What is Exoglass and  Why Does It Matter in Your Kitchen?

Ever wondered what makes a 'professional' utensil different? It often comes down to clever materials like Exoglass. Put simply, Exoglass isn't just plastic; it's a special composite material developed by Matfer Bourgeat. Think of it like the difference between a normal pane of glass and  the toughened safety glass in a car windscreen. While they might look similar, one is engineered to withstand immense stress, heat, and  impact without failing.

In your kitchen, this means the spoon won't go soft or limp when you're stirring a boiling-hot stew. It won't absorb the colour or smell of a strong bolognese sauce, making it far more hygienic. And because it's a poor conductor of heat, the handle stays cool to the touch, unlike a metal spoon that can become dangerously hot. It’s this hidden science that delivers real-world performance and  safety.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant & Pub Kitchens: An essential for the line, perfect for stirring large saucepots and  serving from the pass.
  • Event Caterers: Its long handle and  heatproof quality are ideal for serving from deep chafing dishes.
  • School & Canteen Kitchens: A durable, hygienic choice for dishing out hundreds of portions daily without breaking.
  • Takeaway Food Businesses: The perfect tool for handling vats of hot curry, rice, or sweet and  sour sauce safely.
