Shadow Cooking Rating Guide
Official review and recommendation from our staff will be summarized in 10 level rating level. Each level will be differentiate with 1 (one) black spatula. Spatula is one of the universal symbol of cooking.
Spatula inherits its word from “spatha” (Latin) which is a kind sword carried by the Romans in the early civilization. Not sure if the Romans were cooking with their spatha but since then spatula become the common cooking utility all around the world. The exact design might be vary but all similary shaped.
So, instead of using “star” rating which is already too common, we will use spatula as measurement unit and each of the rating spatula will be name a “spatha”.
The lowest level of the rating is 0 (zero) spatha and the highest will be the one with 9 spatha. The detail of the rating can be describe as follows:
