Nowadays, in a world where our fridges can talk to us and pans can stir themselves, it’s easy to forget about one of the most simple, yet vital items in any chef’s drawer: The Spatula.
While it’s one of the most commonly used kitchen tools, with one of the most simple designs, it manages to flip, scoop, and slice just about any and every type of food that comes its way! Of course, with such a big market, it can be difficult to separate the real deals from the fakers.
But there’s no need to ‘flip out,’ because below we’ve gathered for you the silicone spatulas to meet all of your cooking needs!
Best Silicone Spatulas
1. Unicook 2 Pack Flexible Silicone Spatula
This silicone spatula set was crafted with all our burger makers and omelet creators in mind, as its angled edge makes sliding under whatever you’re cooking as easy as sliding a hot knife through butter. Its balance of silicone and steel means that it has both the flexibility and the strength to take on even the beefiest of burgers.
Customers say that the spatula works incredibly at flipping things, however, if you’re looking for a spatula that also scrapes, then you may want to look elsewhere on this list because this set’s flexibility also means that it can be hard to press it into a surface without bending.
Overall, if you are looking for a spatula to toss some eggs and flip some beef, this set is your best bet.
2. U-Taste Silicone Spatula Set
These next spatulas come in a lovely robin’s egg blue, which honestly suits them because (pay attention here egg connoisseurs) they could easily be called the spatula for eggs on this list.
This set of four different spatulas means that you’ll have four different options on how you want your eggs flipped, tossed, and scrambled. Their seamless design, with their ability to not only withstand intense heat but keep bacteria out, means they’re the ideal tool for working with eggs and hot pans.
A heads up to potential buyers though, as consumers have said that this set comes on the softer, more flexible side of the silicon spectrum. So, if you’re looking for a flexible spatula that bends into any crevice, then this is the type for you!
3. M KITCHEN WORLD Silicone Spatula Set
Next up, we’ve got another set that could be called the ‘spatula set’ but thankfully can’t be titled ‘most expensive spatula set.’
The main features of these bad boys include their versatility in the kitchen, with these spatulas capable of both sliding under the stickiest foods and pushing around the thickest batters, a combo that means it can practically suit all your cooking needs, whether that be in the kitchen or on the grill.
This set also comes with a Lifetime Warranty that consumers love (not that you should need it), but- as with all lighter-colored products- it’s important to remember that stains on this will end up more visible than they’d be on darker-colored spatulas.
4. DI ORO Seamless Series 3 Piece Silicone Spatula Set
This listed set is one of our top-rated spatulas on this list- and for good reason!
Its main feature is its seamless design, which makes it easy to clean completely, so you won’t ever have to worry about bacteria creeping into it. It’s also got a killer stainless steel core to withstand all your flipping and scraping, but its silicone covering will make sure it doesn’t scratch any surfaces.
Consumers especially love its steel core, as when they hold it they have something sturdy to grasp onto. While I’d recommend it for its lifelong warranty alone, it’s more for indoor cooking, as its sides are more rounded than most other spatulas, so while it’s great for flipping, I like having a bit more of an edge to slip under whatever I’m cooking up.
5. Multicolor Silicone Spatula Set – 446°F Heat Resistant Rubber Spatulas for Cooking
If you’re looking for a large quantity on top of a high-quality product, then these are some of the silicone cooking utensils on this list for you! On top of being made of high-grade silicone and dishwasher friendly, they also come in a wide range of different shapes and sizes.
A heads up though, the large amount of kitchen utensils means that, while these work great if you’ve got a larger household, and especially if you’ve got kids who want to cook alongside you, for smaller houses the large quantity may mean some of the utensils collect dust in the cabinet.
So, if you’ve got ‘too many cooks in the kitchen,’ but not enough utensils, then this is a spatula set that you may be interested in.
6. ALL-WIN Silicone Spatula 3-piece Set, Ergonomic Handle High Heat-Resistant Spatulas
This next set consists of three rubber spatulas, specially crafted to be some of the most resistant ones on this list. Their thick rubber coat means that they are highly smell and heat-resistant, ensuring that even the more viscous foods won’t affect the spatula’s state.
While they are sturdy and reliable, this is a set aimed more towards those of us who aren’t as concerned with the look of a product, as consumers say that they may grey over time.
If you don’t mind using spatulas that look a bit worn, but are the perfect balance of thick while still flexible, then I’d recommend these to you.
7. UpGood Silicone Spatula Set
Another bright spatula set, however, is one set for bakers out there, as these spatulas are some of the most heat resistant on this list (and that’s compared to the ones that can withstand up to 600°F !).
While their heads are some of the more curved ones on this list, this design choice means that they work very well bending to scrape every surface of whatever jar or pan you’re using.
That being said, consumers have said that, aside from the very tip, the rest of the spatula head can be a bit stiff at first, so if you’re willing to break them in, they’re the cooking set for those who want colorful yet flexible spatulas.
8. HiramWare Silicone Spatulas Set of 4
This colorful set of spatulas works just as well as they look! Their high-quality, silicone material means that any chef will be able to dig this spatula into whatever they’re cooking.
Many customers have said they enjoyed the firmness and style that these spatulas have brought to the kitchen, however, this set is on the smaller side, so they may not be for everyone.
However, for those of us with little cooks in our lives and kitchens, this bright design and smaller size make this the spatula for pancakes with the family!
9. StarPack Home Basics Silicone Spatula Set
These bright spatulas bring color to whatever you decide to cook, while also available in black and blue if you aren’t quite feeling the red. Aside from their stylish design, their wide variation in size also means that you’ll always have a spatula for any size job, no matter how big or small.
A lot of people who use them say that their material is very comfortable to hold, yet firm in their grip, with the only wish of a few customers being that their ends were a bit thinner. Overall, their specific type of material makes them the spatula for nonstick pans, so for those who already own a lot of that type of appliance, these should mesh wonderfully into your kitchen.
For those of us who often cook with another person, or for a parent with younger children, these bright spatulas will make any cooking session a fun time.
10. Orange Silicone Spatula Set – 3 Piece Spatulas Silicone Heat Resistant
This final set on our list specializes in being a type of ‘nonstick spatula,’ designed with a silicone material that is meant to handle the high temperatures that specifically non-stick pots and pans can reach. On top of their great heat resistance, their thin edges mean that they let you slide under whatever you’re cooking with ease.
These spatulas do have handles designed to fit into the curve of your hand for compost and grip, however, some customers did find the size of the handle to be a bit too small in comparison to your average spatula, and they wished that there was a bit more space between their hand and the end of the cooking tool.
If you don’t mind the shorter grip waste and have other non-stick products, then this spatula set may be right up your alley!
Factors to Consider
First off, you may be reading this and wondering “Hey, why are all these spatulas made of silicone? Aren’t there other types of material that spatulas are made of?” The answer is that yes, there are other materials, however, we chose only silicone because it manages to combine the best features of each of the other commonly used materials.
Wood, while long-lasting, isn’t meant to be exposed to heat for long periods, as it will crack over time and leave room for bacteria to grow. Metal, while able to handle the heat, isn’t flexible so it can be hard to use it to flip softer foods with more control. Nylon, while more pliable, ends up melting around 400 degrees Fahrenheit, making it dangerous to cook with since it can seep into your food.
However, silicone, while initially more expensive, offers you the strength of wood, the heat resistance of the metal, and the flexibility of nylon all in one type of material! That being said, there is a lot of variety, so when you look be sure to consider the different types of silicone spatulas.
For example, the difference in head size on spatulas can both help and hinder you in the kitchen, as the smaller the head size the more control you’ll have over the spatula, but also the less you’ll be able to easily mix thick substances. On the other hand, with bigger heads you’ll have more power behind your strokes, however, it will also require a lot more focus to control the spatula.
Another thing to consider is the shape of your spatula’s head. The sharper the shape, the less area there will be, which will make flipping easier but tasks such as stirring or spreading harder. On the other hand, the rounder the head, the more area you’ll have to contact, which can mean it takes less energy to stir more and is also harder to slip the spatula under food you want to flip or move.
Summary
Now that I’ve gone over some of my top picks for spatula sets, and talked a bit about why I think the spatula is a silicone one, I leave the final decision in your hands. At the end of the day we all have different needs to meet, and mine may be different than yours. And that’s okay! We’re different people with different lives after all!
As someone who’s constantly frying up eggs, both scrambled or sunny side up, the U-Taste Spatula Set, with its seamless and extra flexible design, is my top pick, and that’s what this is all about.
What spatulas work best for you? Which ones do you know you’ll be using day in and day out? These are the real questions that need to be answered since to be honest the title of silicone spatula simply belongs to the one that works best for you!
