Why 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.
