You ever have those spatulas that are just flimsy? This aint one of those, This is a hard spatula that has flex. You can put almost thawed ground beef and spread it (its hard) and press down on it (it flexes) Its truly one of the best spatulas for those type of tasks. If you need something that is thin to flip a pancake- this is not it. If you want a spatula to move stuff around, withstand the heat of the pan and not worry about it, sir thick sauce, anything like that, get this. The color stays true and does not fade and its super easy to clean and wipe off anything. I recommend for sure
Great spatula! Withstands high heat while cooking, can bend and get into the curves of my pots and pans, and cleans up easily. I mainly use wood spoons and spatulas when I cook, in order to avoid scratching the insides of my pots and pans. But I didn't like how the wood would absorb color and odors if left for more than several minutes. And I hated having to oil my wooden utensils (my cat loved it and would often run his head all over them at night...not very sanitary). But these GIR spatulas are wonderful. I got all white ones, and so far they haven't stained or melted. They hold their shape extremely well, do a great job scraping all the tasty bits off the bottom of a pan when deglazing, and are great when I have to fold in ingredients when I bake. They are multipurpose for me, no separate cooking/baking spatulas and I am starting to reach for these over my long held love for wood. The price is a little steep, but they are comparable to good olive wood utensils, and will probably last longer. If it weren't for all the wood utensils I have now, I'd probably buy a slew more of the GIR since they are so functional. The hardest part was picking a color. So I chickened out and got basic white - which just confirmed for me how stain resistant they are. Probably one of my happiest kitchen purchases!
This tool is nothing less than pure awesome! I was hesitant that it would be floppy or flimsy compared to my old wooden handle ones, but that's not the case. It is sturdy enough to use in my wok for stir fry, but precise enough to scrape a large bowl so clean it barely needs washing! I got two of the large ones, as well as the set of smaller ones and I have thrown out every other spatula I had in the kitchen. The clean up very well too, and nothing will stain them! Overall, great!!!
I was surprised by how small it is when it arrived. Yesterday I used it for the first time. I stirred the onions I was cooking for my meat balls. It was the perfect size. Far easier to control and stay neat with. I then used it to scrape my meat ball bowl. Again ideal. All of the other spatulas I own are big. This is a great alternative and I am so proud of myself for getting it.
Who would think? Write a review about a SPATULA?
Great purchase. As I want my adult children to share, with me, the best emotional and physical things that life offers us...after using mine I bought each of them one of these. As I gave them their “gift” I explained that it was the absolute best spatula that I had ever used in my many...many years. They all enjoyed the humor...and the “gift”. Gift yourself with one...I truly think you will be pleased.

Description
The Premium Silicone Mini Spatula is a miniature version of GIR's patent pending unibody silicone spatula: great for smaller jobs and easy for kids to use. It's perfectly sized for small bowls, sauce pots, food containers, jars, icing, and light mixing. The solid silicone blade and handle won't scratch or damage delicate cookware. This heavy-duty platinum silicone is heat resistant up to 550°F so it will not discolor, warp, melt, or chip. Our proprietary fiberglass core provides better heat resistance and longer life than cheap iron and stainless steel cores, which heat up the handle and degrade silicone quality. The unibody design is super hygienic - no holes or seams for food/oils to get caught in, so no place for bacteria to grow. Dishwasher safe on any rack or extremely easy to clean by hand. Made to last forever in your kitchen and comes with a manufacturer's 100% Lifetime Satisfaction Guarantee, no questions asked. FDA + LFGB approved, BPA, BPS, and phthalate free. Dimensions: 8.3in (21cm) length, 1.4in (3.6cm) blade width. GIR started with a simple mission: to revolutionize the spatula. We knew that if we designed a product with carefully chosen materials, and uncompromising focus on quality, we would have something worth sharing with the world. Our “Get It Right” philosophy applies to a complete range of products that are beautiful, functional, and fun.
I was on the hunt for a new spatula after the rubber blade on my Le Creuset one (which I also bought through Amazon) ripped. I bake frequently, and though I have a few other spatulas, I find myself only wanting to use this one. Even though it's a bit pricier than others, I think it's totally worth it.
1) There is no wooden handle, and you don't have to remove the rubber blade off the handle to wash it. One of my favorite features. So easy to clean!
2) It works very well at getting as much of the batter/dough/liquid out of a bowl as possible. It's not too flimsy and not too firm.
3) The shape of the blade is great. I use the pointier edge when I'm trying to scrape something more cylindrical (or anything that might have more of a 90 degree edge) and you need a better angle, and the more curved edge when I'm using it to scrape a bowl.
I wish I had discovered this on kickstarter, as I've backed a couple of projects through there. It's definitely worth the price!
The only nick on this great product is that it's a little pricey. But, it will probably last a lifetime so consider it an investment. It's easy to grip, clean and use. It doesn't stain, get sticky or melt. I won't buy any other brand again.
At first I was a little disappointed that it didn't have a sharper point and a thinner edge, but after using it a few times I found that it worked just as well as the spatulas I am used to using. I really like the easy-to-clean, smooth surface. I haven't used it on anything very hot, so I can't comment on the heat resistance, but it seems a good thing to have. I'm now thinking I may want the larger version too.
Smaller than I expected but still a great purchase. Funny enough...we use this one more than any of them BECAUSE of the smaller size. Accidental, great buy. Seems to be made well and holds up in the dishwasher.
I didn't really understand how someone could love a spatula as much as the reviews claimed to do, but this is the first spatula I have ever used that I loved. The spatula is truly all-purpose. Last weekend I made a vegetable tart and a chocolate cake for a special occasion and I used the spatula for all of the steps: sauteeing vegetables on the stove, mixing tart dough, mixing dry and wet ingredients for the cake, melting chocolate and butter for the frosting, scraping the mix bowls. I love its versatility-- and it's so easy to clean in between these steps.
I use this on my All Clad stainless steel pots and there's no scratching, which was important to me in choosing a spatula. I think this is a great kitchen tool-- the only thing it can't do is flip (pancakes, fried eggs, etc.).
