Health Warning: Silicon spatulas

    I love them. They don't scratch my pots and pans, do a great job and they are inexpensive. I got mine at dollar stores.

    The ones I have either white or clear handles and the paddle end comes in colors.

    I was using mine for a while and I noticed that where the handle inserts into the paddle was getting black. So I pulled it apart and it was gross. Disgustingly gross. Mold was growing in there.

    I don't have a dishwasher so this might not apply to those of you with dishwashers but you might want to check them.

    Now I always take the spatula apart for washing. And then I make sure the hole where the handle fits gets well drained. I put them with the hole facing down and leave them to air dry.

    I collect spatulas- all kinds!

    I get mine at Spatula City:

    Are those 'silicon' spatulas or 'silicone' spatulas?

    If they're silicon spatulas, maybe I should go out and buy a few... I've been meaning to build a crystal radio set... just haven't found a good source for silicon.

    Yuppers... Spatula City. Buy 12 and get the 13th one FREE!

    Pampered Chef makes a GREAT spatula that is all intact. The lady who sells the product would use the regular spatulas to demo this gross black stuff that would grow inside the part that comes apart.

    I highly recommend investing in the Pampered Chef spatulas. They are a quality product and that is all I own.

    Ah, gotta love UHF :)

    The same thing happens with the wooden spatulas, and it also happens when you use a dishwasher.

    LMAO @ Brother Apostate!

    I bow to you, O King of images!

    (Where do you get these things? I still love the "Open Mind" images you sent me for my 100th post un-birthday party )

    We got a spatuala City down here in Tampa bay. They have the neatest commercials.

    But you got to get there early when they have their sales. Most folks camp out.
