Shoppers Can’t Stop Raving About This Versatile Staub Kitchen Tool — and It’s Only $15

We’ve seen our fair share of innovative cooking utensils here at The Kitchn. Some of our favorite ones put a clever spin on the standard spatula, taking a beloved classic and making it more suited to a wider variety of tasks. After all, when you’re dealing with limited counter and drawer space, there’s no point in owning a dozen different spoons, ladles, and turners. Instead, just head to Zwilling. You might know them best for their quality cookware that’s loved by professional and at-home chefs alike, but they also carry smaller gadgets that make an equally big difference in the kitchen. Take the multi-function spoon by Staub, for instance. It can do just about everything short of whisking, and it’s bound to become a mainstay in your workstation. Plus, this fan-favorite is just $15. It really doesn’t matter what you’re preparing — you’ll almost always find some use for the multi-function spoon.

Sure, it’s a spoon, but this versatile tool also doubles as a spatula — and so much more. That’s mainly thanks to its unique (but brilliant) design. For one, it’s much narrower than your average cooking utensil, which allows the spoon to get into the edges of your pans and also accomplish precise tasks, like breaking up meat. The handle is short but ergonomic, and it, too, gives you more control over your maneuvers. We also love that the tool is made of BPA-free, food-grade silicone, which will resist hot temperatures and prove easier to clean than your average metal or wooden spoon. And although the spoon’s thin, narrow design makes it perfect for scraping, prodding, turning, and flipping, its slight curve also allows you to scoop and serve your eats, not to mention drizzle sauces over top. When you’re done using it, you can hang the spoon up by the hole in its handle, resulting in fuss-free, out-of-the-way storage.

Average Rating: 4.8/5

“This is so much better than any other silicone kitchen tool. The main advantage is the length of the silicone portion. Most other tools have the wood part close to the spoon/spatula. You can prop [this one] on the side of the pan and not worry about the wood portion burning. It is great for stir fry, fluffing rice, flipping foods, and much more.” — reviewer SUSAN321

“First of all, I have to rave about the wood handle. The handles on all Staub wood utensils are so smooth and comfortable to hold and are finished so that they repel moisture. Next, I have to say I did not know I needed this spoon until I had it, and now I reach for it all the time!” — reviewer HOMECOOK5

• “This is the one tool I could never do without. It protects my expensive cookware. [It] also cradles the food and works for folding and scooping. I have ordered some as Christmas gifts.” — reviewer QUILTERGAL

Some reviewers noted that the multi-function spoon has to be hand-washed, which is good to know. But, if you ask us, that’s a small price to pay for its impressive versatility. There’s not much else to think about — snag your own spoon now, and find a spot for it within easy reach of the stove. You’ll be reaching that way much more frequently!
