Silicone spatulas are not only easy to clean, they're heat-proof up to 500°F, and trust me, once you start using well-made silicone for cooking, stirring and pancake-flipping, your collection of old, cracked wooden and plastic tools will be nothing but a faded, slightly stained memory.
The green spoonula is great for working with doughs and frostings, the red spatula is perfect for spreading and clearing out that peanut butter jar, and there's a black spatula/spoon for everything else. Functional and hip. - Barbara
Find the 3-piece set of silicone spatulas at Dean and Deluca. They would look great tied with a ribbon to the outside of a new cookbook for Mother's Day!
