Spatulas come in many different shapes and sizes and can be made with all sorts of different materials. Silicone spatulas are pretty popular these days, and it’s not a coincidence we’re seeing them everywhere. Here are some of the amazing benefits of silicone spatulas that probably never crossed your mind.
Heat Resistant
One of the best things about silicone spatulas is that they can be used for high-heat cooking, unlike rubber and plastic spatulas. They can withstand the heat of up to 400F, and often feature specifically designed handles for high-heat situations.
No Damage
Both silicone and metal spatulas are heat resistant, with one major difference. Silicone spatulas are actually superior because you won’t risk damaging the non-stick coatings of your cookware when using them.
Dishwasher Safe
Most silicone spatulas also happen to be dishwasher-safe and you can wash them without fear that they’ll rust or discolor. They’re incredibly durable, and it will take years before they lose their strength or shape.
Incredibly Versatile
Silicone spatulas also tend to be more versatile than other models thanks to their flexibility. You can use them for everything from mixing, stirring, and spreading batter to stirring hot foods and removing them from a pan.
