This clever and useful device can stir the contents of a pot while you're occupied with other tasks in the kitchen. It has three legs and turns first in one direction, then briefly in the other, creating a churning action. The feet are designed to sweep the bottom of the pot while keeping the stirrer moving around, lifting contents and keeping them from settling or burning. Three settings, indicated with LED lights, accommodate various thicknesses of liquids. It operates using four AA batteries (not included).
