Product Description
The Matfer Bourgeat Ergo Reduction Spatula is a 120cm long-handled kitchen tool designed specifically for stirring and reducing large volumes of sauces, stocks, and heavy mixes. It is part of Matfer Bourgeat's ergonomic range, developed to address the physical strain that repetitive stirring places on kitchen staff over the course of a busy service.
The extended handle allows the operator to work with their wrist in line with their forearm, maintaining a more natural posture when working over deep pans or large reduction vessels. This matters in kitchens where sauces are reduced for extended periods or where batch cooking is part of the daily routine. The reinforced Exoglass handle is heat resistant and provides a secure grip even when hands are wet or greasy. An impact absorber at the junction of handle and blade helps dampen vibration during use and reduces noise when working against pan and bowl rims.
Practically, this spatula offers several operational advantages worth noting:
- Reduces fatigue and musculoskeletal strain during prolonged stirring tasks
- Heat-resistant handle allows safe use in high-temperature environments
- Stainless steel blade is durable and straightforward to clean
- Impact absorber protects pan and bowl rims from unnecessary wear
- Compatible with the Matfer hanging system for organised storage
At 120cm in length, this tool is suited to large stockpots, tilting bratt pans, and floor-standing reduction vessels. It is less practical for smaller saucepans or standard table-height prep work. The weight of 1.49kg is worth considering for staff who may already carry repetitive strain concerns — it is manageable for most, but lighter short-handled alternatives exist for less demanding tasks.
This spatula is well suited to high-volume kitchens — hotels, central production units, hospital catering operations, and contract catering sites — where large-batch cooking is routine. Kitchens working at smaller volumes or with standard pan sizes may find a shorter-handled model more practical for day-to-day use.
If you are unsure which handle length or spatula type best fits your cooking setup, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The 120cm handle is best suited to large-format vessels — floor-standing stockpots, tilting bratt pans, and deep reduction kettles where a shorter tool would require the operator to lean over uncomfortably. For standard 40–60 litre stockpots used at counter or table height, a shorter-handled spatula is likely to be more practical and easier to control.
- The extended handle is designed to allow the wrist to remain aligned with the forearm during stirring, which reduces the twisting and awkward angles that contribute to repetitive strain injuries over time. The built-in impact absorber also dampens the vibration transmitted to the hand and wrist when working against pan surfaces, which adds up over the course of a busy service.
- The stainless steel blade and Exoglass handle construction are both designed for the demands of commercial kitchen environments, and the material specification is consistent with dishwasher use — however, we would recommend confirming care guidance with Matfer Bourgeat directly if this is a specific requirement for your operation, as prolonged high-temperature wash cycles can affect some handle materials over time.
