We’ve long evangelized the usage of silicone tools in the kitchen. They’re flexible, heat-resistant, and won’t scratch your precious high-end cookware (we’re looking at you, Le Creuset). And unlike wooden tools, they can go in the dishwasher.

Which brings us to this All-Silicone Tool Set from Tovolo (yep — they’re the makers of those silicone king cube ice trays you love).

The set features four tools of varying sizes — a large spatula, a “spoonula” (a spatula with a shallow bowl), a jar spreader (so you’ll never leave any wasted peanut butter in the jar again), and a unique tool that allows you to scrape and spread (perfect for jams and other spreads).

All the tools are made out of easy-to-clean silicone (but feature a nylon core to keep them sturdy yet flexible), so you’ll never have to worry about scratching a pot. And you might even be able to get rid of some of your old, well-worn spatulas.
