The Loeffel – Stainless Steel Long Handle Spoon
$10.99
The Loeffel is a long-handle spoon that helps you easily measure the right amount of starter and scoop it effortlessly out of the pack. Scoop end shaped like a regular spoon.
This long-handle spoon is made of high quality food grade 18/8 stainless steel. It makes scooping the starter out of the bag an absolute breeze and helps you easily measure the perfect quantity of starter every time.
The spoon is sized and shaped in a way that allows you to effortlessly measure 1 gram of starter.
The spoon is so convenient that you’ll soon find yourself using it daily around the kitchen, and not just for scooping out starter from the pack.
The long handle is the perfect size to reach into the sachet, and then stir the milk in a mason jar or any deep container.
The full length of The Loeffel is 8 in / 20 cm. The spoon end, with its 1.2 in / 3.0 cm length and 0.9 in / 2.5 cm width, has a liquid volume capacity of 1.5 ml or 1/4 tsp and is shaped to make scooping easier (the name Loeffel means spoon in German). The diameter of the handle is 0.2 in / 5 mm and allows for an easy reach into any deep pouch, jar or vessel, which makes The Loeffel versatile and useful for many applications.
The spoon is made of 100% food grade stainless steel, which makes it rust-proof and rust-free, and gives it a glossy shiny finish that won’t fade or tarnish over time.
Clean under running water or throw it in the dishwasher – it is super easy to clean and virtually maintenance free.
The spoon is strong and durable and will last you a lifetime. And yes, it does come with a lifetime warranty.
Produced by Solingen in Germany for Bacillus Bulgaricus.

Usage
The packs are packaged and labeled with the grams they contain and the volume those grams make when used entirely in one go.
The packs are intended for single use, or their contents could be split for multiple use (with the exception of the Sourdough starter which should always be used in one go).
When you split the pack, take out as much as you need to make your yogurt, then reseal and refreeze the remaining starter for later. Make sure you store the sachets in a way that prevents moisture from getting in, i.e. well closed in a Ziploc bag or wrapped around and fastened with a rubber band.
When you split the contents of the pack and use less starter amount to make smaller volumes, keep in mind that you are also reducing the total amount of yogurt that you can make from the pack (read more on that here). Refer to this page to see the gram to Liters (gallons) chart and to find out how much starter to use for different volumes of milk.

I’ve been using the BB cultures for a while now, and thought I could get by with a regular measuring spoon, but I finally purchased the Schaufel and I love it! Not only does it measure the right amount, it makes it easy to get the culture out of the bag without making a mess, and it makes a great stirrer for the quart jars, too. Rita, USA.

The spoon is good. A bit thinner than I would like and bit tart but it’s fine.

Hi Ivo,
Yes, I received the spoon, and I am enjoying using it, as well as your excellent yogurt starters. Good job, it is good to see someone promoting and selling the idea that yogurt is a Bulgarian invention, as opposed to other Bulgarian discoveries that are claimed to of be Greek or Serbian origin.
Cheers,
Traian
