Spatulas and scrapers

Kitchen spatulas, scrapers and turners

Kitchen spatulas are utensils with a long handle and a flat or flexible blade used to stir, spread, smooth, turn and lift food without damaging surfaces. In our catalogue you'll find a wide variety of spatulas, scrapers and turners: from the most classic silicone spatulas, flexible and heat-resistant, to serrated spatulas for your desserts, stainless steel turners for the griddle or bakery scrapers for working dough. Each type is designed for a specific task, both in the home kitchen and in professional use.

Silicone spatulas

Flexible and resistant to high temperatures, silicone spatulas mould to the sides of bowls and saucepans to scrape out doughs, sauces and creams without scratching non-stick containers. They are the most versatile option for baking and everyday cooking.

Silicone spatulas and palette knives

Silicone spatulas and cranked (angled) palette knives let you smooth coatings, fill moulds and spread creams or ganache over cakes with an even finish. Serrated spatulas help you cut and decorate desserts with precision.

Kitchen and griddle turners

The wide, rigid stainless steel turners are designed to flip burgers, fish, omelettes and griddled food. Fish slices, thinner and more flexible, lift delicate pieces without breaking them.

Scrapers and dough scrapers

Dough scrapers, made from stainless steel or flexible plastic, are used to divide and portion doughs, gather ingredients from the work surface and clean up flour residue. They are essential in bakery and patisserie.

Materials: silicone, stainless steel, nylon and wood

Food-grade silicone stands out for its flexibility and heat resistance, and is the most suitable for non-stick utensils. Stainless steel brings rigidity, durability and maximum hygiene, perfect for professional turners and scrapers. Nylon or polyamide is light, economical and kind to non-stick surfaces. Wood brings a warm, traditional feel, though it needs hand-washing to keep it in good condition.

Frequently asked questions about kitchen spatulas

Which material is best for a kitchen spatula?

It depends on the use. Silicone is the most versatile option because it withstands heat and doesn't scratch non-stick surfaces, ideal for saucepans and frying pans. Stainless steel is the best choice for griddle and grill turners, where rigidity and resistance are needed. Nylon or polyamide is an economical alternative that is also suitable for non-stick.

Do silicone spatulas withstand heat?

Yes. Most silicone kitchen spatulas withstand high temperatures, usually between 200 °C and 260 °C depending on the model, so they can be used for stirring over the heat. It's always worth checking the maximum temperature stated by the manufacturer on each product.

What is the difference between a turner and a scraper?

The turner has a wide, flat blade designed to flip, lift and serve foods such as burgers, fish or omelettes. The scraper is used to cut and portion doughs, gather ingredients from the work surface and clean up flour residue. They are complementary utensils.

Can spatulas be washed in the dishwasher?

Silicone, stainless steel and nylon spatulas are dishwasher safe in most cases. Those with a wooden handle are best washed by hand so the wood doesn't dry out or crack over time.

Which spatula do I need for baking?

For baking, the essentials are the silicone spatula, which scrapes out bowls and mixes doughs without waste, and the cranked (angled) palette knife, which lets you smooth coatings, creams and ganache over cakes with an even finish.
