Automatic Pot Stirrer
Takes over the stirring that stops custard and gravy catching, and leaves both hands free for the chopping board.
€18.99
Stand it in the saucepan, press the top, and a rubber paddle sweeps the base while you whisk the gravy or drain the veg. It runs on four AA batteries and has no lead to trail across the hob.

Silicone Utensil Rest
Somewhere to park the spoon you taste with. €13.99
- Three stirring speeds
- Takes 4 AA batteries
- Rubber feet and paddle
- Lifts apart to clean
Standing at the hob
The sauce keeps moving while your hands are busy
Most sauces catch in the minute you turn away to carve or drain. The stirrer covers that minute on a low heat, with you still in the room.
Stirring by hand
- One hand stays on the spoon until it's served
- Turn away to drain the veg and the base starts to catch
- Other jobs wait until the custard is done
With the stirrer
- A paddle keeps sweeping the base at one of three speeds
- Both hands are free for the carving, the veg or the plates
- Batteries, not a plug, so nothing trails over the hob
- You stay in the kitchen, but not glued to the pan
How it stirs
It works on the bottom, where sauces catch
A spoon only stirs where your hand goes. This stands unaided in the centre of the pan and turns a rubber paddle across the base, the layer that sticks first.
- 1
A steel tripod
Three legs hold the motor upright above the food, so it needs no hand on it.
- 2
Soft feet
TPE and silicone, not bare steel, resting on the flat base of the pan.
- 3
Press for speed
Press the top once to start, then again to step up through three speeds.
How to use it
Three steps to a sauce that doesn't catch
- 01
Load the batteries
Pull the black cap off, fit four AA batteries in the holder and push the cap back on.
- 02
Stand it in the pan
Set it on its feet in the middle of the pan, then press the top to start and again to change speed.
- 03
Lift it out to serve
Switch it off, lift it out by the cap and wash the legs. Keep the motor end out of the water.
What it's for
For the pans that need constant attention
Keep it to mixtures a spoon moves through freely. Stiff mash or bread dough stalls the motor.
Custard
Keeps the base moving while it thickens over a low heat.
Porridge and polenta
Turns the grains over so they don't settle and stick.
Gravy and béchamel
Keeps going while you see to the roast.
Risotto, near the end
Takes the final stretch of stirring, when the rice is close to done.
Thick soups
Works in a deeper pot too, as long as the soup stays below the white collar.
Close up
What's inside the cap
Battery holder
Four AA cells sit in a white holder above the motor. The supplier quotes up to four hours of stirring per set.
Cap and speed button
The black cap slides over the holder. Press its top to start, press again for the next of three speeds.
Collar and legs
Steel legs spring out from a white collar, holding the motor upright in the middle of the pan.
Feet and paddle
Soft feet stop it skating over the base, and the flat rubber paddle drags through whatever is settling there.
Fit
Which pans suit it?
It needs a flat base to stand on and enough depth to stay upright. The motor end must stay well above the sauce.
- Saucepan: Fits
- Sauté pan: Fits
- Stock pot of soup, kept below the collar: Fits
- Oven dish: Doesn't fit
It stands about 19 cm tall on its feet. Fill a pot no higher than the white collar.
Compared
Stirrer or wooden spoon?
A spoon is still better for scraping the corners and tasting as you go. The stirrer is for the minutes you'd otherwise stand guard.

Once it's served
Wet legs, dry motor
Only the parts that touched the food go near the water.
- 01
Switch off and lift
Switch it off, then lift it clear of the pan by the cap.
- 02
Take the cap off
Slide the black cap away and set the battery end somewhere dry.
- 03
Wash by hand, then dry
Warm soapy water for the legs, feet and paddle. Dry them fully before the cap goes back on.

Questions
Not for long. It keeps the base moving, but stay in the kitchen and keep the heat low, as you would with any pan on the hob.
It is made for sauces, custard, porridge and soup. Very stiff mixtures such as mashed potato or bread dough will stall it.
Anything that catches if you stop stirring for a minute: custard, béchamel, porridge, polenta, risotto in its last stage, gravy and thick soups.
The parts that touch the pan are rubber feet and a rubber paddle, not bare metal. Still check the feet now and then for grit stuck to them.
No. It takes four AA batteries, which go into the white holder under the black cap. Fit them before you start cooking.
The supplier quotes up to four hours of stirring from four AA cells. We haven't timed it ourselves, so keep a spare set in the drawer.

Good for porridge
Does porridge nicely. A little noisy at the highest speed so I stick to the middle one. Otherwise happy.

Great for oatmeal
Steel cut oatmeal on the stove, no burning on the bottom of the pot. My kids actually eat it now since it's not scorched.

Boxing Day soup
Leftover turkey and veg soup kept turning on the lowest speed while I did a jigsaw with the kids nearby. Kept an eye on it of course.

Nice for beginner cooks
My teen is learning to cook and sauces catch easily. This keeps the base moving and we both stay near the stove.

Thanksgiving gravy helper
Gravy is the last thing before dinner and the stove is crowded. I stood this in the pan, pressed once and walked around carving. Smooth gravy, zero stress.

Solid, but I miss tasting as I go
Works fine in my pots. I still check the sauce myself, but I can do other prep in between. Just wish it was a little quieter on the top speed.

Gave up on it
Could not get on with it. I like to stir by hand and feel the sauce, and this just got in the way.
