Stirring rod

A stirring rod is like a little spoon that helps mix things together. When you are making something like cake batter or hot cocoa, you use the stirring rod to make sure all the ingredients get mixed in really well. It's like when you stir your juice with a straw to get all the sugar off the bottom of the glass. The stirring rod is usually made out of plastic or glass and can have a round or flat end to help mix different kinds of things. So next time you're baking with your mom or dad, ask to use the stirring rod to help mix the ingredients together!
