…you could do worse than to get yourself one of these darlings:
I must say this is my favorite small kitchen tool (excepting a couple of my knives), loved for the sheer usefulness of it. It is a Le Creuset Spatula Spoon, and if I was allowed to keep only one thing for stirring, blending, folding, and scraping, I would choose this without a second thought. You already have a heat-resistant silicone spatula? Well, if it isn’t one of Le Creuset’s, you don’t have the best. I have used three or four other designs from different companies, and none approached the excellence of this one.
The blue one is my trusted old friend, my cooking companion these eight years at least. It has kept countless pots of chili from sticking, scraped the last bits of cake batter from the mixer bowl, and assisted my reputation as the maker of lumpless gravies and sauces. It gets quickly washed and re-used multiple times each day in my kitchen. The red one found its way into my Christmas stocking this morning. Actually, it found its way into my stocking last night. I know because I put it there. I put it there because I had one extra after I bought a batch to give as wedding gifts last spring, and I decided it would be worth the kitchen real estate to give a place to a second spatula spoon.
It is that good.
If you can, get one. Don’t get the little one, don’t get the slotted one (if they still make it) — just get the plain large one. Bring it home. Wash.
Cook.
Repeat.
