StirMATE Automatic Pot Stirrer GEN 3- Variable Speed, Self-Adjusting, Powerful, Cordless

Update 10/23/18: It's been a year since my purchase and I've used my Stirmate at least a hundred times (about 250-300 hours) . It is still runs perfectly. I've used it to make all sorts of sauces (Ragu, Bolognese, Velouté and Espagnole roux, bases for ice cream and gelato, custards, puddings, soups, and marmalade. Its very helpful at reducing water content, particularly when it needs to be done very slowly. It serves to gently scrap the bottom of the pot or sauce pan, and keep the mixture of whatever you are cooking well distributed. That being said, I found it works best with straight-sided flat bottom cookware. I've used it for reducing syrup for something like flan, but It would not work well with very viscous preparations like toffee, thick caramel or fudge. Overall, I'm very pleased. Nov. 3, 2017: I just got the Stirmate and used it for the first time. It works amazingly well, seems very well constructed and from solid materials. The mechanism is surprising powerful, providing plenty of torque and for the hour or so I used it it didn’t slow down at all. It’s very quiet, but not silent. The actual stirrer is simple yet ingenious - essentially, it is on floating hinges (top and bottom) so it can self adjust to whatever size and shape pot you are using. No need to worry about the end of it hanging outside the pot – it won’t get damaged by indirect heat. The Stirmate runs on a 9volt battery, like those in a smoke detector. I’ve been watching this product for a couple of months, deciding whether or not to buy it. The first iteration of the Stirmate used a regular battery, then they offered an externally rechargeable battery, and this new version has an internally rechargeable battery. You can replace the rechargeable battery or use a regular battery if you’ve forgotten to charge it. I just love that, because lately many gadgets need to be discarded when the rechargeable battery wears out. Shipping was fast. From California to New York City in just 2 days. It was shipped inside a paper envelope with some bubble wrap. The envelope arrived broken on one end and the stirrer stick was hanging out. Maybe I should take off a star for that but I suppose the fact there was no damage just speaks well of the build quality. Before ordering I wrote to the seller and they said the Stirmate is covered by a one year warrantee (excluding the battery). I have already made the Greek style rice pudding recipe from the Stirmate.com website – I couldn’t wait and ate some right away (delicious), but I’m sure it will be even better when it cools and firms up. Bottom line is that the Stirmate is worth the money, and certainly beats standing over a hot stove for hours stirring and stirring like some recipes require.

To summarize, the product works. And for $65, it’s a steal. There are surely a few tweaks here and there that could make it a better product, but the bottom like is that it does exactly what it’s supposed to do: stir pots. Rather than write some ridiculously useless review about how well the rice pudding or ‘grandma’s special beef stew turned out’, let me describe the product and explain why it’s a must have. Again, the price. If you’re looking for something to stir your oatmeal so that you can sit and read the paper, surely you can throw $65 on this item. It’s inexpensive. And again, it works. Second, it’s a very sound design. Easy enough for any dummy to use. The mechanism is also very simple, but effective. Whoever designed this product understood geometry and trigonometry. When set up properly, the stirrer will reach the edges of the pot. This is accomplished by simple geometry. There are no fancy linkages that require any setup, or that will be vulnerable to failure under cooking conditions. The main body (which houses the motor) is also ridiculously easy to attach to your pot. The device can stir both thin and highly viscous contents. It has the power to do the latter. Moreover, it can use both a rechargeable and a standard 9V battery…. for times when you forget to recharge it. Overall, this is one of those rare products that demonstrates thoughtful design. Someone clearly made a product they intended to work as advertised. My one gripe? The motor could be a touch quieter. But that’s an easy fix for another version.

I like this thing. It did a great job with my huge pot of tomato soup. I would give it 5 stars if the manufacturers didn't claim the battery lasts 10 hours. I suppose maybe it does if it's stirring water at the lowest speed. For my job, it did about 4 hours. Recharge time was fairly short, so it's not a huge problem. Be sure to read the cleaning instructions. I got mine clean fairly easily despite lots of tomato spatter. It was easy to assemble and put into action. Wish it had a low power beeper. I will be using this a lot. Very glad I bought it.

but some of the reviews, I tried it and was really expecting that it would not do the job. Well I was wrong. I had it for about 3 1/2 hours constantly stirring a huge pot of sauce. Didn’t have any problems with sauce sticking to the bottom of the pot . I’m looking forward to after the holidays because I usually make split pea soup with any ham that’s left over and if you’ve ever made it, you will know how it sticks just by the way this worked with the sauce I don’t think I will have any problem. I would definitely recommend anyone to buy this product. It does work quite well and it was on for approximately 3 1/2 hours constant stirring, and the battery held up fine. And I did use the metal stir not the plastic one. I don’t think the plastic would’ve held up to the sauce, but the metal one did the job flawlessly.

To start, I am 78 years old and don't have the patients to stand at the stove and stir what ever I am cooking for twenty minutes. This simple to operate electric stirrer made my life a lot easier. Yes it is rather pricey , but how much is your free time worth?

I had been looking for something like this for some time. After reading a lot of reviews this unit seemed to be the best model available. After purchasing it and trying it, I believe it is. It’s a clever design, simple and efficient. It uses a 9V rechargeable battery which can be easily replaced when it is time to do so. It can also run a regular 9V battery if that’s what you want. I made a short video using the device to prepare a french desert: “riz au lait”. This requires slowly turning the mixture of 100gr of rice into 1 litre of milk for about 45 minutes on low heat, so this unit seemed perfect for this. At the beginning of the cooking the mixture is basically fully fluid. With time the rice starts to thicken the preparation and by the end it has a creamy relatively thick consistency. The unit had zero problem dealing with the thickness of the preparation. I only used about 1/4 of the available speed. The unit is easy to clean once removed. I am wondering if the plastic wand will withstand the work with time, but replacements are available at a decent price so it should not be a big problem. My only disappointment is the pricing in Canada. It is priced “reasonably” in the US but it is significantly overpriced in Canada. Furthermore, there was a 15% discount on Black Friday in the USA but no discount at all in Canada. The price in Canada is the only thing I am really not happy about with this unit, as otherwise it is a fantastic tool in the kitchen! I contacted the company in the US and they did try really hard to provide me with a Black Friday discount in Canada but as Amazon was selling this item through a 3rd party in Canada they were unable to make any adjustment to the price. Great customer service though! Would I recommend this item to a friend: absolutely!

トップレビューの方の動画を見ると分かるのですが、騒音が歯医者さんやミニ四駆の駆動音並みに大きいです。換気扇より遥かに大きい高音ノイズが部屋中に響き渡ります。キッチンと他の部屋が遠く離れているような環境じゃないと、うるさすぎて発狂してしまうかも知れません。なお、10リットルの寸動鍋も上手く攪拌できるサイズだったのでそこはとても満足でした。

sirve bastante bien facil de ajustar en las cacerolas

اداء ضعيف لم تفي بالغرض

It's very nice, helpful, and saves time.. Thanks
