The mixing paddle is made of stainless steel not only long-lasting durability but also resistant to daily wear and tear. The front of paddle edge is rounded corners for stirring and scraping, and will not scratch or harm your cookware. The long handle keeps hands away from heat when cooking over grill or fire pit. The long handle also prevents you from having to reach over and into the pot to stir the batch and its oar-like paddle creates plenty of circulation to keep the cooking temperature even throughout the pot.
