- giraffe_lady 2y agoThat's not the kind of spatula they're talking about, I've rarely seen that kind be black. I'm pretty sure they mean the flat offset kind you'd use to flip eggs or pancakes.
- cassianoleal 2y agoWhy would GP suggest that spatula if it was the one they're saying is bad in the article?
- fsckboy 2y agoin english in america, can't speak for other lanuguage/locales and too lazy to look, the word spatula is used for two different tools: one tool is for scraping food (generally solid) inside a hot frying pan the other tool is for scraping foods (generally liquidy generally cold) from the sides of a bowl or other container. in the first case you want to flip your pancake and it's sticking to the pan in the second case you want to get all of the pancake batter to pour into the frying pan. The picture is the article is of a hot frying pan black plastic scraper. GP's picture is a silicone cold bowl scraper. is the disconnect it is potentially true that you should eliminate all such spatulas made of "plastic" hot or cold, and it is potentially true that in all cases substitutions with silicone is the right move, but I'm not sure if that's what is being suggested
- cassianoleal 2y agoGot it, thanks for the explanation!
- BrandoElFollito 2y agoWe have the same word for both in France, like you. However we have an extra word for the silcon one to get all the pancake batter: marise. It is not used very much, though, outside of some cooking books or shows.
- globular-toast 2y agoIn British the former is sometimes called a fish slice. But of a silly name so most people now also use spatula for both.

- amluto 2y agoIndeed. Look here instead, perhaps: https://www.seriouseats.com/best-nonstick-silicone-spatulas-turners-flippers https://www.seriouseats.com/best-nonstick-silicone-spatulas-... But if you’re cooking on a pan that tolerates stainless steel, this one and its smaller cousin are excellent: https://www.oxo.com/large-stainless-steel-flexible-turner.html https://www.oxo.com/large-stainless-steel-flexible-turner.ht...
- altairprime 2y agoThe upgrade Tevolo pick they list is worth the upgrade, and I’ve been gradually discarding the cheaper turners in favor of it. The black one makes an acceptable bowl scraper, but it seems to not appreciate dishwasher life as well as a typical rubber scraper would.

- jihadjihad 2y agoOXO makes a flat silicone spatula too (I think they call it a turner or something), I've got one and it's been a great upgrade from the black plastic kind. Plus it won't scratch anything enameled or nonstick etc.
- Graziano_M 2y agoAs mentioned, the article is talking about plastic flippers, not silicone spatulas, but either way, I would recommend this [1] spatula set instead. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KSMBL26 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KSMBL26
