Kitchen Tools

Spatulas are very important in any kitchen on so many levels.

You can buy basic plastic versions (usually white), which are not heat proof, but work great:

1. Icing
2. Pastry creams
3. Batter
4. Scraping bowls
5. Mashed potatoes
6. Stirring your salad

If you pay just a little bit more, you can get all the above and like a bonus, have the advantage of being able to use a spatula that can handle high temperatures (up to 500°). This allows you to also use it for stirring directly in a hot pan or in a pot while cooking. A heat-proof spatula is simply worth a little extra money thanks to its versatility.

For most households, the most convenient size will be 10”. I would recommend purchasing a few to have them available at any time.
