“When combining ingredients, I usually use a silicone spatula,” says Marisel Salazar, a trained cook and recipe developer. It’s harmless to most cookware and won’t harm cast iron or nonstick surfaces. “It’s not a real rubber, despite its rubbery appearance. It won’t melt when you use it to stir or flip. Because of its high heat resistance, keep stirring hot foods such as eggs from the pan or sauces in the pot.”
With its small, medium, and “spoon” spatula, this set from Oxo Good Grips is ideal for a bit of kitchen. For a full-functioning kitchen, you’ll need more than one spatula. The shovel-shaped spoon spatula is excellent for mixing the pasta and reaching into the corners of pans. The tiny scrapers can be utilized for digging into jars and are perfect for mixing up salad dressings in smaller containers. The giant spatula will be your most used tool for scraping the batter from your griding bowl.
All are heat safe up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, safe for use with nonstick cookware and bakeware, and dishwasher friendly. The head of the spatula is just right, according to our tester: It’s tough enough for scraping spaghetti squash without cracking the skin but gentle enough not to break it.

What to Look for in Kitchen Gadgets
Functionality
Kitchen gadgets may be enticing, but consider how much you’ll use them before you purchase one—if it assists with a job you do regularly, it may be worth it. If it’s a gadget you don’t anticipate using very often, you may want to go for something more practical.
Size
There is only so much kitchen gadgets a person can have, and the bigger they are, the more room they take up. Size isn’t always the most crucial consideration if you have a lot of storage space, but if yours is limited, you’ll want to pick your kitchen gadgets with care. There are a lot of different devices on the market, and many have varying sizes. Similar functionality may be obtained on a smaller scale in many cases.
Durability
When picking a kitchen gadgets, make sure to consider quality. Higher-quality goods will last longer and are more likely to withstand the test of time, making any job simpler and safer.

Remove the pit by turning the blade portion of the tool. To take out the avocado flesh on both sides, use the slicing/scooping section of the device.
What is the distinction between a burr and a blade coffee grinder?
Burr coffee grinders, utilize a spinning wheel to crush the beans, whereas blade coffee grinders chop them with a metal blade. Coffee connoisseurs favor this model because of the burr’s consistent, uniform grind. While they are less expensive, ceramic blade grinders are not as consistent.
How do you sharpen a swivel peeler?
Peelers, like knives, maybe sharpened using a whetstone and some elbow work at home. To sharpen the peeler:
- Lay it against the sharpening stone with the blade perpendicular and then move it back and forth.
- Make sure you don’t apply too much pressure to the blade of a peeler, as it is significantly thinner than that of a chef’s knife.
- After 10 strokes, wash the edge to remove debris and dry it as soon as possible.
Peeling should be handled just as carefully as your treasured silverware—the blades must be sharpened regularly to keep them in good working order.
What is a whisk used for?
Whisks are available in various shapes and sizes, with flat or balloon blades, and they’re used to aerate or combine ingredients manually.
What is an immersion blender used for?
An immersion blender works similarly to a regular blender but on a stick to allow you to mix soups, sauces, and other liquids without the mess of transferring them between pots and blenders. Many of them are strong enough to puree vegetables, potatoes, and other ingredients you need.
