When people ask me why I love my Rubbermaid spatula so much, I usually just tell them the regular stuff: it’s a high quality, heat resistant spatula of the spoonula or scraper variety, really great for stirring things around in a hot pan, and the flat, flexible blade (which is made from silicone, not rubber) … Continue reading
We live in a world of what can only be described as real life miracles, even in areas as seemingly mundane as the kitchen. For example, I have this gizmo that can reduce a pile of fruit into a delicious fruit-flavored goo in a matter of seconds! Hell, pretty much everyone has a magic box or … Continue reading
What if I told you I had a spatula made of a space age alloy that wouldn’t rust, corrode, or stain unless you soaked it in the ocean for a few years? And what if I told you it also wouldn’t react with foods, no matter how acidic, that it wouldn’t warp, and that it … Continue reading
I know that for many people, it’s a little cold out to be doing much grilling, but since my wife ruined my nonstick skillet by using the wrong spatula, I’ve been spending a lot of time out on the patio cooking up meat. One thing I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about is how … Continue reading
The lowly spatula is something we cook with so often we usually take it entirely for granted. Have you ever considered what you would do in the kitchen if suddenly there were no spatulas? If you give it some thought, you’ll realize that many of the foods we eat on a daily basis wouldn’t even … Continue reading
Do you use a nonstick skillet? I love them, honestly. I feel like cast iron pans are too much extra work to take care of, and nothing can compare to the way food slides around a pan coated with some kind of nearly-magical nonstick material. Up until this morning I had a really nice one … Continue reading
It’s easy to take the spatula for granted. It sits in the kitchen, unassuming, just another tool among the spoons, knives, pots and pans and a wide assortment of varied implements. Few people know much about its history, and even fewer the name of its inventor. But think about it: if there were no spatulas, … Continue reading
I have to admit, I’m not much of a baker, so when a co-worker who recently asked me who makes the best icing spatula (also called an offset spatula or frosting spatula), I realized there was a gap in my knowledge. I honestly didn’t know at that point specifically which spatula would be ideal for … Continue reading
I’ll be honest: as someone who does most of my cooking in a non-stick skillet, I mostly stick to a good silicon spatula when I’m cooking to avoid ruining my cookware. However, sometimes you just need a good metal spatula, especially if you’re cooking in a cast iron pan, or something else that isn’t going … Continue reading
Ah, the stainless steel fish spatula. It actually took me a while to realize this was a thing and that I needed one. If you cook fish with any regularity, though, you may already know why it’s so important: fish flesh is reaaally delicate, and has a tendency to fall to pieces when you’re trying to … Continue reading
