Turn Stick (Omorogun) - Traditional Swallow Stirring Stick

The turn stick, known as Omorogun in Yoruba, is a traditional wooden stirring tool used in African kitchens to turn and mix starchy swallow foods like Eba, Fufu, Amala, and Semo into a smooth, lump-free dough while cooking. Its long handle and flattened stirring end make it easier to work through thick, sticky dough than a regular spoon, which is why it remains a kitchen staple in many Nigerian and West African households despite the availability of modern tools. Available in Short and Long sizes to match your pot size and stirring preference.

How to use: Use the flattened end to press and turn swallow dough against the sides of the pot while it cooks, working out lumps until smooth.

Care: Hand wash and air dry; avoid soaking for long periods to preserve the wood.
