A spoonula is a spoon with a flat scraping edge, and it exists because a round spoon cannot get product out of the corner of a bowl or the base of a pan. One tool stirs and then empties, which on a pastry bench or a sauce section is worth having.
Spoonulas are usually one-piece silicone or silicone over a steel core. The one-piece design has no join for product to get into, which is the main hygiene advantage over a spoon with a bonded head. The stated temperature limit is on the product page.
They suit coated and non-stick surfaces where a steel spoon would score the pan. For heavy work on bare steel, a long-handled cooking spoon is still the right tool, and the two should both be on the line.
Choosing between one-piece and a bonded head, or sizing a set for a pastry bench? Both are priced in the price guide.
These are the top FAQs for Spoonulas
What does a spoonula do that a spoon or a spatula cannot?
It holds volume like a spoon and clears a surface like a spatula. Stirring a custard and then getting all of it into the container is one tool rather than two.
For a kitchen costing out portions, that scraping edge is the difference between emptying a bowl and nearly emptying it.
One-piece or a bonded head?
One-piece silicone has no seam, so nothing collects at the join and it washes properly. A bonded head on a separate handle is cheaper and is the part that eventually works loose.
In a commercial kitchen, buy one-piece. A loose head is both a hygiene problem and a foreign object risk.
How much heat will they take?
Silicone handles cooking temperatures well within a stated limit, which is on the listing rather than something to assume. Left resting against the inside of a hot dry pan, any silicone will mark.
For direct high heat on a gas cooktop, use stainless. Spoonulas are for sauce, custard, batter and anything in a coated pan.
Will they scratch non-stick?
No, and that is a large part of why they exist. They are the safe choice for coated frying pans and coated bakery trays.
A steel spoon in a coated pan is a permanent mistake. Keeping spoonulas at those stations prevents it.
Are they useful for pastry work?
Very. Folding, scraping down a mixing bowl and getting batter into a tin are all spoonula jobs, and they do them with less loss than a spoon.
The bakery accessories range covers the scrapers and brushes that work alongside them.
How are they cleaned?
Silicone takes a machine wash in most cases — check the listing — and a commercial dishwasher handles it better than a sink does, because silicone holds oil.
If they come out of the machine feeling greasy, that is silicone retaining oil rather than poor washing. A hotter cycle or a degreasing detergent fixes it.
When should one be replaced?
When the scraping edge nicks or tears, when the head loosens on a two-piece, or when it has stained and gone sticky. A torn edge sheds, and that is the end of it.
Treat them as consumables, like the rest of the small items in the kitchen utensils range, and hold spares.
