Spatulas
Buying a spatula? At Kookgigant, you'll find spatulas for every pan and cooking style. Whether you're looking for a silicone spatula for your non-stick pan, a wooden spatula for daily stirring, or a sturdy stainless steel spatula for high-temperature cooking: with the right spatula, you'll work more easily, safely, and accurately in the kitchen.
Buying a spatula at Kookgigant
A good spatula is a handy tool that you use almost daily. For example, you use a spatula to flip eggs, stir-fry vegetables, mix batter, or remove pancakes from the pan. Which spatula suits you best mainly depends on your pan, the dish, and the temperature at which you are cooking.
At Kookgigant, you'll find various types of spatulas, such as silicone spatulas, wooden spatulas, and stainless steel spatulas. Each material has its own advantages. Therefore, it's important to choose a spatula that matches your cookware.
Silicone spatula for non-stick pans
A silicone spatula is ideal for pans with a non-stick coating. Silicone is flexible, gentle on the coating, and prevents scratches in your pan. This makes this type of spatula suitable for pans with a delicate non-stick coating.
Additionally, a silicone spatula is useful for baking, stirring, and scraping. Its flexible material allows you to easily reach along the edges of a pan, bowl, or mixing bowl. Many silicone spatulas are heat-resistant and usually easy to clean.
Wooden spatula for daily cooking
A wooden spatula is a classic choice for everyday use. Wood feels pleasant to the touch, heats up less quickly, and is gentle on many types of pans. For example, you can use a wooden spatula for stir-frying, mixing sauces, or serving dishes.
Wooden spatulas are best washed by hand. This prevents the wood from drying out, cracking, or warping. Allow the spatula to dry thoroughly after washing before storing it.
Stainless steel spatula for baking and BBQ
A stainless steel spatula is sturdy and suitable for high temperatures. This makes stainless steel spatulas handy for baking, grilling, and BBQ use. Its thin edge allows you to easily slide under meat, fish, burgers, or pancakes.
It's best not to use a stainless steel spatula in non-stick pans, as metal can cause scratches. For baking sheets, cast iron, and BBQ grates, a metal spatula is a strong choice.
Which spatula suits your pan?
You primarily choose the right spatula based on the pan you are using. Wooden and silicone spatulas are safe choices for almost any pan, as they are gentle on the surface. This is especially important for pans with a ceramic coating or enamel layer.
A stainless steel spatula is particularly suitable for sturdy surfaces such as a cast iron pan without enamel, a baking sheet, griddle, or BBQ grate. In a stainless steel pan, it's better not to use a metal spatula, as this can cause scratches. If you want to keep your pan as beautiful as possible, it's better to choose wood or silicone even for stainless steel.
- Non-stick pan: choose a silicone spatula or wooden spatula to prevent scratches.
- Ceramic or PFAS-free pan: choose silicone or wood, so the coating stays beautiful longer.
- Enamelled pan: preferably do not use a stainless steel spatula, as this can damage the enamel layer. Choose wood or silicone.
- Stainless steel pan: a stainless steel spatula will cause scratches. Wood or silicone is safer if you want to keep the pan looking good.
- Cast iron pan without enamel: a stainless steel spatula, wooden spatula, or silicone spatula is suitable.
- BBQ, baking sheet, or griddle: choose a sturdy stainless steel spatula, especially at high temperatures.

What should you look for when buying a spatula?
When buying a spatula, pay particular attention to material, shape, flexibility, and heat resistance. A flexible silicone spatula is useful for batter, sauces, and scraping bowls. A wooden spatula is great for daily stirring and turning. A stainless steel spatula is primarily used for sturdy surfaces and high temperatures.
- Choose silicone for ceramic non-stick pans, enamelled pans, and daily use.
- Choose wood when you're looking for a soft spatula suitable for almost any pan.
- Choose stainless steel for cast iron without enamel, baking sheets, griddles, BBQs, and high temperatures.
- Preferably do not use a stainless steel spatula in pans with coating or enamel.
- Always check the maximum heat resistance for silicone spatulas.
Maintenance of spatulas
The maintenance of your spatula depends on the material. Silicone and stainless steel spatulas are often dishwasher safe, but always check the product information. Wooden spatulas are better washed by hand and allowed to dry immediately.
Do not use silicone spatulas above their maximum heat resistance. This prevents the material from deforming or being damaged. By using the right spatula for the right pan, both your spatula and your pan will last longer.
