Outdoor cooking enthusiasts who use large vats for gumbo, jambalaya, and more appreciate a yard-long paddle like this one. Great for stirring in mass quantities of shrimp, crayfish, and spices, the stainless-steel paddle won't absorb cooking colors or odors and cleans more easily than a wooden paddle. The handle is hollow to lighten the weight, and the spatula end, which measures 4-3/4 by 9 inches, could even be used to lift bread or pancakes off a skillet.
