Bob's Red Mill, the leading provider of whole grain foods and official purveyors of the World's Best Oatmeal®, is again looking for someone to represent the company at the Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Championship in Scotland this October. All you need is a winning recipe that makes use of Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats!
Enter the contest! It will be fun!
What is a Spurtle?
A spurtle is a Scottish kitchen tool dating back to the 15th century. It's a rod-like instrument that is traditionally used to stir porridge and prevent it from becoming lumpy. Tradition calls for using a spurtle only with your right hand and only in a clockwise direction otherwise, you risk invoking evil spirits and bringing on bad luck.
What is Spar for the Spurtle?
Spar for the Spurtle 2 Oatmeal Recipe Contest invites home cooks and professional chefs alike to submit videos demonstrating a unique recipe that makes use of Bob’s Red Mill’s Steel Cut Oats – the World’s Best Oatmeal. From the entries, three finalists will be flown to Portland, Ore. to compete in a live cook-off.
