African Spatula (Omorogun)

The African Spatula, known traditionally as Omorogun (Yoruba) or a "Turning Stick," is an indispensable tool in every West African kitchen. Hand-carved from durable, natural hardwood, this sturdy utensil is specifically designed to handle the heavy stirring required to prepare swallow dishes like Fufu, Amala, Eba, and Pounded Yam.

Unlike plastic or metal utensils, the wooden Omorogun keeps your non-stick pots scratch-free while ensuring your swallow is mixed into a perfectly smooth, consistent paste. Its long handle and broad, flat blade provide the leverage and control needed to manage large pots and hot starches safely.
