Spatula (Silicone)
Purpose
A flexible, heat-resistant tool for scraping bowls clean, folding batters, stirring sauces, and flipping delicate items. The silicone head conforms to bowl curves, wasting nothing.
Usage
Use to fold whipped cream or egg whites into batters — the flexible head is gentler than a spoon. Scrape every last bit from jars, bowls, and food processor bowls. Heat-resistant silicone (up to 260°C) can stir hot sauces and sautés safely.
Buying Guide
Choose heat-resistant silicone rated to at least 230°C. A one-piece design (no seam between handle and head) is most hygienic. Get both a large and a small size. Look for truly seamless construction. Avoid flimsy or low-temp silicone.

Care & Maintenance
Dishwasher safe. Silicone resists staining but tomato sauce can discolor — soak in baking soda solution to remove.
