Tool
Silicone spatula
Scrapes every bit out of the bowl and handles heat.
What it is and why it matters
A silicone spatula is a flexible scraper that gets every bit of batter out of a bowl. Silicone handles stovetop heat, so it can also stir eggs, sauces and melted chocolate in a pan. It won't scratch nonstick coatings.
