Kitchen Tools

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

What is the difference between a spatula and a spoonula? A spoonula is a spatula with an improved ability to scoop (the shape of blade reminds me of a spoon).

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

1. Icing
2. Pastry cream
3. Batter
4. Scraping a bowl
5. Mashed potatoes
6. Stirring a salad
7. Great for scooping too

A heatproof spoonula offers all the benefits of a regular spoonula and as a bonus, it is heatproof up to 500°F. This is useful for any kind of meal, but is especially beneficial when cooking sauces and other heat sensitive products which stick to the bottom of pans very easily. A heat proof spoonula is simply worth a little extra money thanks its versatility.

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

You should purchase commercial versions since they last significantly longer than those made just for household use.
