Using the Rig - Tig Cook - It Large Stirrer is a breeze. Just grab it and start stirring your soups, stews, or sauces. It's great for gently folding ingredients together in a non - stick pan without scratching the surface. When serving, use the wide spoon part to scoop up food easily. As for maintenance, simply wash it with warm, soapy water after each use. Don't put it in the dishwasher as the high heat might damage the silicone and nylon materials. Store it in a dry place, and it'll serve you well for a long time. Remember, if you're not satisfied, you can return it within 30 days.
