We Stand Behind our Products
All of our products have been extensively tested in our kitchens to ensure that we are bringing our customers the best value possible. We have run our turners through the dishwasher hundreds of times before marking them dishwasher safe, and have cooked with our silicone utensils for years to verify their durability. Each detail is scrutinized and revamped by both our employees (and their families), so we are confident that we bring you the best possible products.
Our Story
Chef Craft was founded in 1985 by Peter Ernster. It was passed down the family through the generations. We have kept the same vision as the beginning: bringing our customers the best value based products that we can. Today, it means shifting towards sourcing products made with more sustainable materials like bamboo and wheat straw.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pack these stirrers for a picnic without them snapping in my cooler?
The rigid plastic construction holds up well inside coolers, picnic baskets, and tote bags, and unlike wooden sticks, they will not swell, splinter, or bend when they brush against ice.
Are they lightweight enough to throw in a bag for a beach day or hike-in campsite?
Each stirrer weighs only 18.14 g, so a small handful adds almost no weight to a daypack, beach tote, or camping kitchen kit.
Will black stirrers get too hot if left in direct sun on a patio table?
Plastic warms up in the sun like any dark object, but it does not retain dangerous heat the way metal would, and a quick rinse or a moment in the shade is enough to cool one down before stirring.
Do they survive a windy outdoor catering event without blowing off the table?
Their light weight means a strong gust can lift one, so for open-air bars we recommend staging them in a shallow tray or branded holder alongside napkins and stirrers for stability.
Are they a good match for a portable cocktail setup at an outdoor wedding?
Yes, the 5-inch length fits both standard rocks glasses and shorter coupe or Nick & Nora glasses typically used in outdoor cocktail service, and the black finish photographs well against white linens.
Is this a smart buy for a catering company doing weekend brunches and outdoor receptions?
Bulk 150-count packs let caterers run a full event service without mid-event refills, and the pack-of-2 option is convenient for larger weddings or multi-station setups.
Do the stirrers work for both iced tea and cocktails at a backyard BBQ bar?
Yes, the 5-inch length stirs pitchers of iced tea, lemonade, and cocktails with equal ease, which is why hosts keep them as a universal outdoor bar tool.
Can I use them to mix garnished drinks like mojitos or Old Fashioneds outdoors?
They are great for stirring simple syrup, bitters, and mixers into classic cocktails, though for muddled drinks with mint or fruit, a muddler is still the better tool.
Will the black color look out of place at a bright, summery outdoor party?
Black is a classic, neutral tone that pairs with virtually any color palette, from tropical to rustic, and reads as a refined accent at outdoor bars rather than a clash.
Are they safe to use around a fire pit or patio heater?
Standard plastic has a lower melting point than wood, so keep stirrers away from direct flame and high-heat surfaces; they are intended for drink stirring, not for cooking or toasting.
How do these compare to bamboo stirrers for an eco-conscious outdoor gathering?
Bamboo stirrers are more compostable but tend to splinter and absorb drink flavors, whereas rigid plastic stirrers hold their shape in iced drinks and cocktails and clean up faster at a busy outdoor bar.
Are these a better option than metal stir spoons for a poolside bar?
Metal spoons can scratch glassware and rust if left wet, while these lightweight plastic stirrers are gentle on glass, won't corrode, and are easy to replace after each guest.
Do they travel better than glass stir rods for mobile bartenders?
Glass rods add breakage risk in transit, and metal spoons can dent other tools; a sleeve of plastic stirrers is the simplest, safest option for mobile bartenders and pop-up bars.
Will a sleeve hold up in a hot car between events?
Inside a closed vehicle in summer, temperatures can climb high enough to warp thin plastic, so it is best to store the sleeve in a cooler, insulated bag, or shaded trunk between events.
Are the stirrers individually food-safe for guest use at a self-serve outdoor drink station?
Yes, they are intended for direct food and beverage contact, and their single-use format actually makes them more hygienic at a self-serve outdoor station where washing is not practical.
How do I set up the stirrers on a coffee bar or self-serve station?
Open the outer carton, remove the inner sleeve, and place the sleeve upright in a small holder or shallow tray next to the cups, sugar, and creamers; for high-traffic bars, stage a second sleeve in reserve to avoid mid-event refills.
How do I dispose of used stirrers after an event or shift?
Discard used stirrers in the regular trash unless your local recycling program accepts small rigid plastics; if you compost, transfer them to a lined bin rather than a food compost to keep the compost stream clean.
Can I rinse and reuse a stirrer between drinks?
They are designed and sold as single-use, so for hygiene and food-safety reasons, we recommend discarding after one use; if you prefer a reusable option, look for a stainless or food-safe silicone bar spoon.
Do these 5-inch stirrers fit in standard 8 oz and 12 oz coffee mugs?
Yes, the 5-inch length is sized to sit inside standard 6 to 12 oz ceramic mugs, paper coffee cups, and shorter rocks or coupe-style cocktail glasses.
Will they fit in a 16 oz or 20 oz iced tumbler or to-go cup?
For tall 16 to 20 oz tumblers, the 5-inch stirrer reaches the bottom of most cups, though very narrow straw-style lids may require a longer stir stick.
What exactly is in the box when my order arrives?
Each order ships with the number of sleeves you selected: a single pack includes one 150-count sleeve, and a pack of 2 includes two 150-count sleeves for 300 stirrers total, all packaged in a single shippable carton.
Are these stirrers safe to use with hot beverages like coffee and tea?
Yes, the plastic is food-safe and rated for hot beverage use, so it will not deform or leach in standard brewed coffee, espresso, or tea.
Will the stirrers absorb coffee, tea, or cocktail flavors over time?
Unlike wooden stirrers, the plastic is non-porous, so it does not absorb flavors or odors between uses, which keeps each cup tasting clean.
What is the difference between coffee stirrers and cocktail stirrers?
In most cases, they are the same product: a rigid 5-inch stick designed to fit both coffee mugs and shorter cocktail glasses, with cocktail-specific tools reserved for muddling, layered drinks, or garnishing.
