apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I was looking for a new spatula last fall, and I was having trouble finding one that met all my criteria - sturdy, silicone, all one piece for easy cleaning, fit well in my hand, and scraped bowls well. I finally found a review of spatulas in Cook's Illustrated (http://www.cooksillustrated.com/equipment/overview.asp?docid=10272), and went with the Trudeau silicone spatula. I have the orange 12-inch spatula (larger head) and the red 10-inch spatula (smaller head), and I really couldn't be happier with them. Between the two of them I can handle most jobs, they're very sturdy, the heads never come off (because they can't), and I don't have to clean around that little seam where the handle and head come together (because there isn't one). They seemed a little heavy in my hand at first, but now that I'm used to it I don't even notice anymore. And the unique shape of the head scrapes down bowls (especially the on my stand mixer) really really well.

Trudeau doesn't seem to be carried in most cookware stores - I had to go to a local independent hardware store to find mine - but you can get them on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_hg?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=trudeau silicone spatula&x=0&y=0). Very highly recommended!

You mean, Spoonula!
