A few years back I picked up an oddly-shaped silicone spatula on sale at a fancy, local grocery store. I was intrigued by it’s double-ended design and the claim it was heat-resistant to 650º F (340º C). It worked so well as a spatula for baking and also as a stirring tool for cooking that I hustled back to that store and purchased the only other one left. These are now among my favorite, everyday kitchen tools.
The spatula is reinforced down the center with a super-strong, super-stiff metal bar. The silicone at either end is flexible, but not too flexible. It scrapes up brownie batter like nothing else.
I am glad to have tracked down the company’s website so easily. It turns out they have a ton of nifty tools based on the same concept. Look at all of these options and colors! My exact spatula is no longer in the collection, but it is most similar to the clear design below.
Who knows, it may no longer be my favorite once I have my hands on that violet one above, or perhaps the red one. It looks like they are available on Amazon for $10 to $13 each or so.

Thanks for the tip Heather! I’m quite fond of nice spatulas. I made your gourmet cupcake recipe with both a yellow and a chocolate cake mix last night. I’ve not tasted the yellow one yet but the chocolate was really YUMMY!
A good spatula makes me HAPPY-HAPPY! I will have to check these out!
I love my spatulas, but what I really need to find is a nice long offset spatula for decorating cakes. I have a short not-offset one which is fine for cupcakes, but I’m always making a bit of a mess when I have a bigger decorating job to do!
I don’t know why I have such an obsession with kitchen accessories. I love these and the colors too! Thanks for the tip.
I love my red spatula from this company, same style as yours – I just used it to make barbeque sauce for meatballs. Unlike my old one, since it’s alread red, I can’t stain it. I also love that it’s all one piece, so there aren’t any parts to come apart or get yucky where the parts meet. 🙂
I have been a fan of Chef’n for a long time. Their products are awesome!!
these are so stylish. i need to pick up a few of these.
Right after I was done with my Reader, I was going to go to Amazon to get a new high heat spatula. These look amazing! Thanks for the recommendation…I’m excited to try one!

Geeze that’s embarrassing, how do I delete an accidental comment?
What I really wanted to say was that I have the spreader and it’s fantastic! Thanks for the link to the website, now I can collect them all!
I love these spatulas!! I bought just one and then I was hooked!! They are amazing!

I love these spatulas. My favorite is no longer part of their line anymore, either. The Target by me carries them. They don’t have a super great selection, but they do carry them. Once you start using these, you will NEVER go back to anything else.
Thank you so much for this! You have no idea how long I’ve been looking for the name of this spatula. My father-in-law gave us one a few years ago for Christmas, but it had no packaging, no label so I had no idea what it was called. It quickly became one of my favorite kitchen tools and it has just recently started to get a small tear in the silicone. So thank you, thank you, thank you for figuring this one out for me so that I can get a replacement (or two)!
hese are so cool! I never thought something as mundane as a spatula, could be so interesting and fun to use too!
i found my spatula, the green one, at TJ Maxx for about $4. Love it.
i have a switchit as well and love it…..i use it foreverything
I picked up a Wilton spatula very much like yours at Jo-Ann’s. It was their fancy schmancy cake tools line…
hello, my name is Vanesa. I’m from Argentina. I love the blog, everything is beautiful. I would like to make shoes for babies but I can not enter the pattern. Someone can send me jonvandy2@hotmail.com. Many thank you very much.
Was the one you first had the clear spoon/spatula with snowflakes? It seems they don’t even make the spoon/spatula any more. A lot of people liked this one. Perhaps we can write in and ask them to make it again.
