Our review
This sits in the pot on three little legs and stirs on its own, so you can chop the next ingredient instead of standing over a simmering sauce. Drop it in, press the button, pick one of three speeds (LED-lit), and it buzzes its way around the pan, rocking forward and back to fold everything over.
I'm rating it honestly, and at 3.8 stars it's a one-trick tool. It genuinely helps with thin, smooth things — gravy, custard, porridge, rice pudding, bechamel — anything where the job is just stopping a sticky skin forming. The moment you add body or chunks, though, it loses: reviewers report it stalling on thick soup, mac and cheese or anything with solid pieces, and on a light pan it can actually vibrate the pot toward the edge of the burner, so you still keep half an eye on it. It runs on 4 AA batteries (not included), and the nylon legs are heat-rated to 120C — keep it off direct high heat or they can warp. A handy assistant for thin sauces, not a hands-off miracle.
