As a result of using these spatulas, I can make lists and lists of the foods that end up going down our gullets instead of being washed away. That last baby-size pancake from an almost-empty batter bowl. One extra cookie. A smidge more béchamel in the sausage pasta casserole. Another tablespoon of pork-and-chive filling for that last dumpling wrapper. No mayonnaise left behind.
I know most silicone or rubber spatulas can scrape a bowl without issue. But my previous ones had wooden handles and a removable silicone top, and I’d hesitate to use them because they were annoying to clean. Since owning these GIR spatulas, I’ve found myself reaching for them time and time again because they’re so easy to rinse off by hand or to throw in the dishwasher. It’s not just that they come in handy—I look for excuses to use them.
Even though the Mini size was designed for kids, it’s become my personal favorite. It maneuvers extra-well and fits into tight spaces, and it’s just so dang cute. When I saw GIR released a new, sprinkle-themed mini tool set, I broke down and ordered that, too.
When kids ask nicely, I even let them use it.
Our pick
This spatula is small enough to fit in a peanut butter jar, strong enough to press down doughs, and flexible enough to clean the edges of a batter bowl.
