Several reasons to buy a silicone spatula for the kitchen and forget about the wooden one

Modern hardware stores offer an extremely wide range of kitchen utensils that can satisfy the most demanding tastes, Ukr.Media reports.

The variety of kitchen spatulas is impressive in its versatility: from classic wooden models to modern silicone, elegant metal and practical plastic options.

If the variety of products presented causes you some difficulties in choosing, we recommend that you pay special attention to silicone products, and there are several good reasons for this.

Durability

Silicone is much more durable than wood in kitchen conditions. Wood is porous, prone to drying out, cracking, chipping, and can deteriorate over time. Silicone is an inert material, resistant to moisture, temperature changes, and mechanical damage (in normal kitchen conditions).

Does not absorb grease, dirt and odors

Silicone is a non-porous material, so it doesn't absorb grease, dirt, or odors like wood or some types of plastic. This makes silicone spatulas more hygienic and easy to clean.

Safety for Teflon coating

This is an important advantage of silicone spatulas. Metal spatulas can scratch and damage non-stick cookware, while soft silicone is safe for delicate surfaces.

Flexibility and conformability to the shape of the dish

Silicone is very flexible, allowing the spatula to easily curve around the edges and corners of the pan, ensuring effective scraping of food residue, cream or sauces. This makes silicone spatulas very convenient to use.
