Shop
Welcome to the Mad Hungry shop, where kitchen tools are designed by someone who really uses them. Every product in this collection was created by Lucinda Scala Quinn, the woman behind the modern spurtle revolution.
What Is a Spurtle?
It’s a spurtle, Myrtle! A shape you probably haven't seen, doing work you'll instantly recognize. Long, narrow, and paddle-like, it stirs, folds, flips, spreads, and serves without scratching a pan. The original came from 15th-century Scotland, designed for stirring porridge. The modern version is built for how home cooks actually cook today: real pans, real messes, real meals.
At Mad Hungry, the spurtle isn't just a product we sell. It's the tool that built our kitchen. Our founder, Lucinda Scala Quinn, redesigned the original Scottish tool for the way home cooks actually work today. The result are the modern wood and silicone spurtles you've seen on QVC, at Lowe's, and in more kitchens than we can count. It earned its place. So has the story behind it.
