This is one tough spatula. Its silicone head doesn't warp or melt, up to 600 degrees, and won't stain, either. Its thick, clear plastic handle, notched on the end for hanging on a hook or peg, doesn't stain. It goes in the dishwasher, too. But best of all is the little rest three-quarters of the way up the handle. Place it on a bowl's rim and the spatula won't slide into the batter or sauce. The spatula is 11 inches long, with a 3-1/2-inch head, and it has a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
