Every kitchen needs multiple spatulas … it’s an unavoidable fact of cooking! Wherever anything is, you need a spatula - of one size or another - to scrape or fold one ingredient out of one place into another. This becomes especially important when you have multiple ingredients prepared in advance - your mise-en-place - or folding egg whites, or if you’ve simply measured out one ingredient to go into a larger dish, like a marinade. You’re always going to need multiple spatulas, in various sizes.
There are numerous problems with traditional spatulas: the blades are too soft and flexible for many ingredients, you cannot get a firm grip on the handles, they’re either too big or too small for the task at hand, they don’t clean-up well, and some wooden handles deteriorate with repeated washings, especially in the dishwasher. We’ve discovered a solution to each of these issues … the Flex-Core spatulas with stainless steel handles, from Tovolo.
