Silicone Ally

Sprucing up for spring usually doesn’t include my kitchen utensil container, but I have long been a convert of silicone spatulas. And these swirly, pretty, funky spatulas are exactly what my kitchen needs right now.

Silicone spatulas are not only easy to clean, they’re heat-proof up to 500°F, and trust me, once you start using well-made silicone for cooking, stirring and pancake-flipping, your collection of old, cracked wooden and plastic tools will be nothing but a faded, slightly stained memory. 

The green spoonula is great for working with doughs and frostings, the red spatula is perfect for spreading and clearing out that peanut butter jar, and there’s a black spatula/spoon for everything else. Functional and hip. – Barbara

Find the 3-piece set of silicone spatulas at Dean and Deluca. They would look great tied with a ribbon to the outside of a new cookbook for Mother’s Day!
