The bright red rubbery utensil meant for scraping cake mix and gravy out of bowls. What is that? This really is my kitchenware. I’ll put it whatever side you say.
It’s called a maryse in French and it’s a kind of spatula
C’mon dude, that’s a spatula.
I thought this was a trick question or something.
I’m gonna break one of my rules and explain my joke …
Where I live, the things behind it are spatulas. And so is the red rubber thing. And they are clearly not the same.
… So that’s funny. Err … well I think its funny. I’m not very funny.Hah! Yeah, everything behind it is a spatula.
I’m not funny either. Got beat up for this post. Thought these people were nerds!
It’s a spatchula. you can scoop stuff with a spoon, good luck tryg with a dough scraper.
It’s a microwaved ice cream spoon. Helps you get from upset to upset stomach with a smaller this is tasty window.
I’ve always heard it called a rubber spatula.
The metal things beneath it are spatulas. The red doohickey is a rubber scraper.
If you wouldn’t use it to flip a pancake, it’s not a spatula.
I’d call those metal things fish slices, not spatulas. Maybe a regional thing?
Must be. I’d call them an egg slice or fish slice like yourself. Spatula to me is silicone. Western Europe.
Same, UK here.
There are a lot of spatulas I wouldn’t use to flip a pancake though.
Cooking shows call those thin metal things “turners”. I’ve always called them spatulas.
Etymology Online says spatula comes from Latin for “long flat blade”.
We call it the ‘pannenlikker’ in Dutch. The Pan Licker, basically.
Awesome.
This is my favorite. My utensil is hereby declared to be a Pan Licker.
I guess I get to put it in whatever drawer I want. It’s the only Pan Licker I’ve got. No rules!
Spoonula
Spatuloon.
I’ve always heard it called a silicone spatula.
Difficult to tell. I need a close up to see whether it is a spatuloon or a spoonula.
If it has a divot like a spoon then spoonula. Else, (silicone) spatula.
It’s a spoonula!
They’re great for all sorts of things in the kitchen. The black ones, however, do not belong in the kitchen.
Not because of the black plastic controversy, but because if you’ve ever thwacked someone/something/yourself with a spoonula, you know that you need one in the bedroom, and if you only use black ones for that purpose, then you never ‘cross the streams.’ A … uh. friend introduced me to that rule over a decade ago, and now I bequeath that knowledge to you all.The online restaurant store i usually go to sells them as spoonulas
I acknowledge that this is spoonula thing is happening … but its madness.
I don’t entirely understand, and something in me rebels against doing so.
I’d put it with the tongs. If you’re just trying to grab a spatula without looking, you don’t want the dough scraper. Same logic for spoons, the scraper won’t do. So you put it with the weirdos in the bottom section.
In Portugal it’s called Salazar, the same name of the dictator
It’s a spoontula, cousin of the spork. It is created when a spoon and a spatula love each other enough to transcend reality. Just don’t ever let two spoontulas stay in one area as they’re very territorial and will attack each other. That’s how the spoon drawer gets all messed up.
