Every cook needs a spatula for so many things - cooking, scraping
out bowls, gentle folding. And this wide variety of tasks that it's
called on to perform often means you need a wide variety of
spatulas - a firm, heat-proof one for scraping a pan, a plastic one
to use on a nonstick pan to stir eggs, a large one to fold in the
fluffliest egg whites, a flexible one for fish.
So silicone spaulas look like a dream come true - they're heat
proof, often ergonomically designed, and actually quite attactive.
America's Test
Kitchen ran a test on silicone spatulas to determine if, in
fact, they're the answer to a cook's prayers. And, for a couple of
models, the answer was yes - and the price was definitely
right.
