Bourgeat Exoglass® High Temperature Spoonula, 13 3/4" - Spatula for Mixing, Baking & Scraping

These are the best on the market, bar none! I collect wooden spoons, and I've worked as a professional chef for 30 years or so so I always have a wooden spoon in my box, but I've always tried to have one of these hanging up on the line that I can grab just in case. Rubber specials all tend to melt but this is the one that I always reach to if I'm if I'm into a serious pot of something. I had a couple of the longer ones that I accidentally left hanging on the line at my last job when I left, so despite the fact that I have 20 wooden spoons I still had to go and buy one of these to put back in my tool kit! One of the things that happened to me recently that really prompted it, was I was making a nice batch of risotto, and I always keep a wooden spoon in my toolbox to make risotto. But this time when I was almost done with the risotto, and it had a nice color perhaps it was roasted garlic, and it had interior garnish, but anyway I looked at the tip of my wooden spoon, and there was a little chunk missing!!!! Not a small chip, but it was a little bit bigger than a chip like the size of a small raisin. I freaked out because it was a big brazing pan of risotto, and I searched and searched and couldn't find it. I recently sanded all the tips of my wooden spoons and made sure that they were all clean and rounded correctly with no chips or cracks but I realized that I really couldn't take a chance like that again. I still have a nice collection of wooden spoons that I keep at home, but if you're serious, you have to add one of these to your kit. They're not very flexible they're nice and firm, so you'll have no problem really working that risotto, or that 24-in braising pan of beef for that Bolognese, or stirring that turkey hash or whatever you're making. I said some of these same specials in the kitchen for years and believe me they take a beating I've never seen one melt. Every 6 months or so just put a little bleach solution together with a little water and just soak it and it'll be almost like brand new.

I never considered what a perfect spatula might be before, but it's clear that the Matfer guys have. The utensil itself stirs nicely, it doesn't distort through heat, and yes, it does stain when using turmeric, but the staining disappears over time. Apart from not needing to oil it, and it not absorbing food gunk, there are two things that separate this from any other spatula I've come across: 1) it's flat at the just right place for you to scrape off sticky food at the edge of the pan. Of course, that may mean it will stick to the inside walls of the pan; so 2) it's outer edge is the perfect angle for scraping at the walls of the pan to dislodge stuck food. It means your pan and your spatula come out clean every time. It's also just thin enough to get into the corner of saucepans to prevent burning. Wooden spoons are not designed like that.. Small details but it shows there was real consideration involved and it makes cooking easier.

I don't use silicone anything if I can help it. These products are not silicone! They are made very well. This is a rigid spatula and perfect for scraping and stirring. It comes in several lengths and washes well in the dishwasher. I have repurchases them several times for gifting.

This spatula is firm enough to stir thick batters. It its easy to hold and feels good in your hand. I would have given it 5 stars, but it does get discolored with certain foods (when I sauteed onions)

I’m surprised to see some of the complaints listed here. I made sure I knew what I wanted and this product is it. Some in my family have sensory processing issues. I have always used silicone utensils in my nicer pans, especially non-stick. The vendor or whatever name is on the package doesn’t matter to me. It does say Matfer, and Exoglass. It is rigid, that’s fine because I did not want silicone. I don’t want to risk it becoming brittle so I wash it by hand. Yes, much of the rounded end is yellow. I specifically chose it to stir a product called “Just Egg”, a bottled mung bean liquid that I stir in a pan to make “scrambled eggs” for those family members, who are also vegan. The egg product has turmeric so it looks like beaten eggs. My white spatula now has a yellow spoon-edge. I don’t care if it turned yellow or purple. I’m cooking with it, not taking it to the prom. Because the item is not silicone, it doesn’t absorb odors. Ever. My sensitive-nosed family can tell what I stirred the previous time if I use silicone, it holds odors. Exoglass does not. I even have to use unscented dish soap on silicone, they can’t handle the “taste” and smell of soap from the silicone, even from the dishwasher. So Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass lives up to its description, it does what I bought it for, it cost more than silicone but for my family to fully enjoy their food, it was a small price to pay. I am looking at getting more Matfer Exoglass products. I feel I can trust it, and I certainly recommend it. IF you’re buying the right product.

This is the best basic kitchen utensil I've ever had (and I've had a lot). Much much better than wooden stirring utensils which soften and cannot be cleaned properly and more rigid and usable than other nylon and plastic devices. I use it as my basic stirring, mixing utensil. By way of confirmation, I've also gifted this to many friends (it's inexpensive) all of whom adore this basic, extremely useful and durable tool. Three years after initial purchase and still a great device. I bought it in three other sizes as well (10", 12" and 16")

The best stirring spatula money can buy

Was expecting a little wider and after making one caramel the spatula tip started to melt! I guess they changed the material?! Wasn’t like that back in France.

買って損はない扱いやすい良い商品なのですが、この手のものは消耗品。長くは使えそうですが、もう少し安くないと割に合わない作りな気もする。

品物はいいのですが私が買ったサイズは大きすぎました 家庭で使うならワンサイズ小さいものを進めます。

La spatule est solide parfait pour une jar de 60l

Rígida, muy buen tamaño, resistente, ergonómica.

Ideale pour la patisserie
