This is the other thing I can't live without: a flat-bottomed wooden spatula.

What do professional kitchens say about spatulas and turners in general?
Not a recommendation for a specific product — technique, materials and what to look for in spatulas and turners. Citable on its own terms.
I was introduced to the fish spatula back in culinary school and it's designed in a way where it's thin enough to easily get under whatever it is you're cooking and has an angled lip so that you can do it with these in a pan it will 100% help you remove and flip over a piece of fish with without tearing it
Cites ergonomics
It doesn't scratch up my bowls. It doesn't scratch up my pans. It doesn't scratch anything. They're delicate. They're gentle. And they're so [music] easy to use.
Cites scratch resistance
Silicone spatulas are simultaneously one of the toughest things I have in the kitchen, as well as the softest thing. They take an absolute [music] beating, but they're also really soft, right?
Cites build quality, durability, ease of cleaning
But not all silicone spatulas are made the same. These are mine. And if you can't tell, they all share one [music] thing in common. They are a solid piece of silicone from top to bottom.
if you have a spatula that is entirely made of silicone from top to bottom, there's no seam for stuff to get wedged into.

I like using my offsets to kind of like pick things up.
So, I would use to scoop up something with the offset and use the tweezer to grab something. So, it's really good for plating.

These are my funny little spatulas and I love them all.
Cites appearance, build quality, handle
I cherish them and they're steel. They have these beautiful wooden handles.
So, when you're going to pick these out, don't worry about looking for the name brand. Don't worry about looking for the fancy one. Look for the one that is one single piece of silicone.
Cites build quality
If you have one that has a seam, I I don't even have one to show you cuz I don't own one. But if you have one that has a seam that meets at the [music] head, then what's likely going to happen is over time food is going to get stuck in that crevice and it's going to get nasty and gross.
Cites ease of cleaning (against)
When you try to clear out a sauce pan or a sauté pan, that's how much surface is touching the bottom of pan; it's not going to move anything. Use something like this and you can quickly save the sauce from burning.
it's goofy I know but it works like a charm and for 10 or 12 bucks it's absolutely worth it

i don't like to use metal stirring spoons i much prefer to use something like a wooden stirring spoon or a silicone spatula which are also great for scraping stuff out
