The Uutensil Stirr is a battery-powered automatic pan stirrer that walks itself around your pot on three nylon legs, keeping sauces, gravies, risotto, and custards moving so they do not scorch or stick. You drop it in, twist the top to pick one of three speeds, and it stirs hands-free while you prep the rest of the meal. The legs are heat-resistant nylon that will not scratch nonstick pans, and the whole thing comes apart for washing. It runs on two AA batteries (not included). Best fit: anyone

Pros

  • Stirs sauces and gravies hands-free so nothing scorches while you prep
  • Three speeds adjust for thin sauces or thick risotto and oatmeal
  • Nylon legs are nonstick-safe and the unit breaks down for easy washing

Cons

  • Runs on two AA batteries that are not included, and very shallow pans do not give the legs enough to grip

Frequently asked questions

Will it scratch my nonstick pans?

No. The legs and body are heat-resistant nylon designed to be safe on nonstick, stainless, and enameled cookware.

Does it come with batteries?

No, it takes two AA batteries that you supply. A fresh set lasts through many cooking sessions since it only runs while you are actively cooking.

Can it handle thick sauces like risotto or polenta?

Yes, on its higher speed setting. Very stiff doughs are too much for it, but pourable-to-thick sauces, gravies, and porridge are exactly what it is built for.

Is it dishwasher safe?

The legs and outer parts disassemble for washing. Keep the battery housing out of the dishwasher and hand-wash that piece to protect the motor.
