If you could only have one kitchen gadget.....?

It would have to be the rubber spatula. No sassy chef would be caught in her apron without one! Truly the tool of the kitchen savvy, the rubber spatula has no match as far as versatility and functionality go. The only potential contender is the silicone spatula.... which is basically a high tech version of the rubber variety.



So, if you don't have one - get a couple of rubber spatulas and know you've made a great purchase by considering the many potential functions of the rubber (or silicone) spatula - because this type of spatula is certainly not limited to flipping pancakes or shoving around bacon. You can find some of the best available in my "Sassy Chef Store" - the link is to the right!

Top 10 uses for Rubber Spatulas in the Sassy Chef's Kitchen:



1. Folding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.



2. A tool for collecting the excess from your mixing bowl and licking.... to check the flavor of course.



3. Smooth icing over your first ever home-made (that means it doesn't come out of a box) cake.



4. A prop to waive around and help you look really angry when your kids stick their fingers in the icing.



5. You can stir and rotate items in your best non-stick without scratching the delicate surface.



6. You can smack your husband with it when he puts your best non-stick in the dishwasher.



7. How did we ever get shortening out of measuring cups without rubber spatulas?



8. You can also use it to get play dough out of measuring cups after your second-grader's sleep-over.



9. Any sassy chef looks occupied (meaning, too busy to carry out the trash) with a rubber spatula in her hand.



10. And in the spirit of #6, you can smack your husband if he refuses to help you out with that trash!
