So, there really is a Better Spatula design!

I purchased one set of these spatulas on a whim looking for a "better" spatula. Wow, I sure got what I was looking for.
Now I am ordering three more sets for my adult children.

It's flexible yet strong, and the red makes it look pretty great too. Sadly, after all this time, the spine's broken through the silicone a tiny bit, so things stick a bit at the break. I'm going to order another one here, and hopefully it will be a good replacement and not a knock-off or of poor construction. I will update accordingly once I receive it.

UPDATE:
I finally got around to making a video, since I wanted to help others figure out whether they wanted to replace their old ones with this. There is a definite difference between the old red one and the new grey one. I am not a huge fan of the grey, but I'm going to keep it because others in the house prefer it. I just wish it was the same or similar to the old one.

I have a few other products by Sabatier, including a great ice cream scoop with a bamboo handle. This is a more standard, plastic and metal utensil. I've had a similar one for years, and it is finally wearing out a bit. This type of plastic holds up to a lot of tough scraping of stainless steel pans but is still good for use with non-stick pans. I like the slightly large grip. My previous spatula had only a metal handle which is more difficult to grip when scraping or breaking up hamburger for taco filling and such. I have a wider spatula that I usually use for pancakes and omelets, but this is the perfect size for burgers. In general, I use this type of spatula most often when cooking and appreciate the build quality.

My favorite kitchen tools! These work so much better than regular spatulas without the slots.

I purchased one for my daughter.  She liked it so much that I finally ordered one for myself, not expecting to notice any difference between it and my old fashioned white Rubbermaid spatula or my "special" Calphalon spatula.  After using the Tovolo silicone spatula I realized that there really IS a difference in spatulas!  This one is great for everything--stirring, scraping, mixing--and it goes in the dishwasher!  The tip is not as soft as the Calphalon, so it scrapes bowls better.  Also, there are no ridges on this spatula so it scrapes the bowl (or pot) better and is very easy to clean.  The two differently shaped sides have proven to be so useful that I don't use my other ones any more.  The handle is very comfortable--I have a very small hand.  My daughter agrees--and she has a large hand.  She prefers the Tovolo for all the same reasons, plus it can be rested in the pot and it won't melt.

This spatula works well and is strongly built, but the handle is unfinished wood that becomes rough after washing in the dishwasher, making the hand feel unpleasant.  I also have the Adept Chef  similar fish spatula which is a slightly better shape and has a nice handle.  The spatula is not flexible like I was hoping, but surprisingly the slight bend in the blade nicely makes up for it.  This is true on both spatulas.  I'd recommend the Adept Chef also available from Amazon.  It has become my favorite spatula.

My wife asked me to get this for her to use while cooking.  I think I use it more than her, though.  My view of "a spatula is a spatula" has been corrected thanks to this purchase.  Now I'd rather take the time to wash this one if it is dirty than just grab another one of the many spatulas we have.  The other spatulas are very jealous...

While I like the size of these spatulas, the larger one is a bit heavy.  I also don't like the feel of the wood.  I am used to a much smoother wood grain.  The raised grain on the handles make it a bit uncomfortable, and the raised grain on the spatula portion, raises concerns about cleaning.  It seems that it would be easier for food particles to find a home in the wood.  The Harold Imports Olive spatula, which I also bought has a better feel.

I love the size and styling of this set, but would much prefer that the wood of the handles be sealed (I'm going to seal mine).  Or even better, that the handles be made of stainless steel like the larger Tovolo spatulas.

The spatula doesn't have any molded ridges, so it's easy to scrape food off completely, and it cleans easily.  However, the wooden handles stay wet for a long time.

This is a personal preference, but I don't like spoonulas - very difficult to get food out of the center without pressing hard.  I've given mine away.

I used my old 12-inch Cuisinart pan to death, and it was time for a new one.  I love the improvements!  The nonstick finish is better, the shape of the pan is slightly more sloped but still has a large bottom, and the cover is a must-have for me.  It cleans up with just hot water and a non-abrasive scrubber.

This might be a quirky fun gift but it is actually very high quality and it's design works better than all my other spatulas! Highly recommend to anyone.

Love the elevated aspect of this spatula. I also own spoons, pasta scoops, and other misc elevated items. Wish they all came like this. No spoonrest needed. You can just set it on counter after stirring, flipping or scooping and it does not touch the counter. Genius design!

Recently while cooking some chicken, I mastered the art of melting your spatula(Or turner as the rest of the world, and Amazon call it) in the pan! Without a turner, I decided that I should pop onto Amazon and buy one! I came across this low cost option. and added it to my cart.

I haven't had a chance to use it much, but so far it does the job as expected! I can flip burgers with it, and it hasn't melted yet, so that's a good sign!

The fact that it hasn't melted is surprising. It's looks cheaply made, which should be expected considering the cost, but seems to be sturdy despite it's appearances. It also doesn't look overly attractive(it looks much better in the supplied photo). However, I didn't buy it to impress the neighbors, I bought it to cook my food on both sides!

So, if you are like me, and prefer a functioning product over a fancy looking instrument, then this is a lost cost option that you should really consider.

Somehow they managed to make a few improvements on an already stellar product. This is not a typical can opener. It cuts off the lid without any sharp edges .....and the lid can actually be returned to the can to store extra!

I've got to be honest... This is a an out-dated design. We've all had the semi-original plastic sporks at Kentucky Fried Chicken when everything you ate was mush and a spoon would shovel it in anyway. A "spoonful" of thin soup/cereal in this spork runs out the tines leaving a tiny sip of sustenance. Two weight-reducing notches in this spork just leave crevices to clean.

The manufacturing is great. It is a very well made spork and will certainly not disappoint those that long for those plastic KFC versions.

It does have a hook/bottle opener. However, there are so many ways to open a bottle, that having a bottle opener on your eating utensil is really unnecessary. The hook could be useful in some situations, but if you want to look "cool' while camping, pick up your axe and knock a notch out of a nearby (dead) tree and open your bottle in it. Super-manly or womanly.

I've owned the Light My Fire spork for a couple years and have been generally please with its function as both a dedicated spoon AND a dedicated fork. It has a serrated edge on the fork, but honestly, it's mostly useless. Does that make it a "kspork" (still silent "k" from "knife")? Nevertheless, it is a superior "spork", although it is admittedly twice the price. Still, it has a silly embossed "Light My Fire" logo that requires additional scrubbing in a creek to get clean... Weight the pros/cons.

This spork is probably stronger than the LMF spork. Having said that, I want you to seriously consider the weight of the food you'll be lifting to your face with this eating utensil. Are you eating a black hole? Then the added strength is probably not needed. I've sat on, tight-packed, and generally abused the LMF spork without any bending or deflection for two years. I doubt "strength" of the spork will be an issue for anyone.

Not a bad spork. Just not the best. I ordered two, kept one and gifted the other to a 4 year old who just got an awesome tree house.

They finally got the design right on this one.  I have seen and purchased many silcone spatulas because I like the flexibility and tempature resistance.

The problem I have with them is that after a while the seal between the handle and the spatula head is invaded by moisture and mold grows.

With this design, the opening is no where near the food and there is no chance of contamination. I highly recommed this for people concerned with cleanliness in the kitchen.

It's a plastic spatula, so as with all plastic spatula's it is a little flimsy, and flexes a bit when hot. It doesn't clean as well as a metal spatula either and you'll find yourself trying to scrub bits, thinking you got them only to find a residue when drying. All that aside, the handle is nice, and the shaft is thick enough so it keeps the paddle from wobbling too much, even with food on it.
