Product Information

With the tagline of “Everyday Utensils," you might be surprised to see just how large Tovolo's line of silicone and wooden spatulas, spoons, and hand tools is. A popular choice at most kitchen goods stores, Tovolo also sells mixing spatulas with playful prints, sparkles, and holiday themes for cooks with a playful spirit. These spatulas can get years of use, even if you reach for them every day. Whether you're flipping pancakes or mixing the batter, these are the best spatulas for every kitchen need.

Metal handles are sturdy, heat and flame resistant, and non-porous to avoid stains and residual scents. Typically metals are used as the core of seamless unibody spatulas or are coated with silicone or plastic for safe handling.

Our Top Picks

This spatula consists of a single piece of silicone with no creases or joints that could collect food, so cleaning is easy by hand or in the dishwasher. The surface is fairly resistant to oily residues, though not quite as much as other spatulas on this list. You'll usually find silicone spatulas constructed one of two ways: one-piece silicone or a silicone head with a wooden handle. Although the wooden handle is attractive, in our testing we found that the one-piece silicone spatulas were more comfortable and far easier to clean (for spatulas with wooden handles, the silicone heads are often removable so you can wash them in the dishwasher, but the handle must be hand washed). The edges of the flat spatula vary, but in most cases, there is one squared-off edge at the top, and one rounded edge, making it easy to push batter into the corners of a pan or scrape the bottom of a round bowl, all with the same tool. Spatulas where the top edge is mostly flat are great for stirring and are able to evenly scrape more surface area of the bottom of a pot. The purpose of these slits is to help the blade better slide beneath the food without breaking it. Because of this, they are a good option if you are making crepes, meatballs, or any other ground food that needs to hold its shape. Besides using to slice food, these spatulas can also be used to flip and filter food or substance by containing solid substances on top while draining liquid through the slots. While a silicone spatula head is heat resistant, it isn't cut-resistant and can easily be sliced by the sharp edges of cans and other sharp tools. If you notice your spatula has been sliced, or that a chunk of it is missing from extensive use, it's best to throw it away to avoid having any pieces of silicone break off into your food.

This is an amazing kitchen tool to have for all kinds of tasks," said our tester. "It's so good I'm making a list of people to gift it to!" Seen much less often and typically only in smaller sizes, the pointed spatula is made specifically for spreading or digging into very tight corners or scraping food at an extreme angle—like from the very bottom of a blender. When it comes time for searing a steak in a hot skillet, this is the perfect spatula. Sporting a wooden handle, this sturdy 11-inch spatula comes with a 6 x 3-inch stainless-steel blade. It's incredibly heavy-duty and the solid blade makes it easy to smash cast-iron burgers thin with little effort. Each side has beveled edges, making it simple to slip underneath to flip your food. Cons: This spatula doesn’t have our favorite handle out of those we tested, but it’s a small price to pay for the flexibility it provides.Rubber is a soft material that can usually moderate heat pretty well. In addition, it is also relatively cheap but without many of the risks of plastic.
