The origin of spatulas dates back to ancient times with the name deriving from the Latin word "spatha" meaning a flat piece of wood. From breakfasts to dinners, spatulas and turners are essential utensils in any kitchen. They assist in preparing a wide variety of meals, from scrambled eggs to delicious sweet cakes. Spatulas are available in a range of materials and designs that are tailored to specific functions and recipes. Typically designed with a flat surface, spatulas also feature a long handle for comfortable use. The design of these spatulas makes them particularly easy to store in your kitchen using kitchen drawers and kitchen organising trays.
Spatulas and turners are available in a range of shapes, designs and sizes. They are also constructed from various materials that are tailored to specific uses and ingredients. Some materials of spatulas include:
A spatula refers to a flat surface cooking utensil that aids in food preparation. Great for cooking, baking and other food preparation tasks, there are a number of types and designs of spatulas tasked with different uses. A turner is a type of spatula designed to lift or flip on higher heat sources when compared to other spatulas. They can also be used for mixing and stirring but are typically designed for turning food items.
The type and material of the cooking spatula you choose is dependent on the ingredients you're working with and the cookware you're using. When shopping for kitchen utensils, you should first consider how you're preparing your meals. For example, if working with heat, then rubber materials may not be ideal. Consider shopping for metal or silicone spatulas instead.
There are a various number of types of spatulas with differing functions.
Slotted spatulas and turners feature openings in the surfaces that allow liquids such as mixtures, batters, greases and oils to drip through making them ideal for barbecues and flipping burgers. Letting the fluids run through the slots when turning ingredients over ensures that such liquids are not flipped over with your item.
When cooking with a cast iron pan, it's important to use heat-resistant utensils that won't melt when cooking. Silicone spatulas are designed with a softer material that won't scratch the surface of cast iron cookware. Cast iron cookware is incredibly durable so you may use metal or wooden spatulas, however exercise caution when cooking to ensure no scratches or marks are left behind.
