Receta Rubber spatulas: like or dislike?
Welcome to Like or Dislike, where you get to share how you really feel about ingredients from the pantry, ingredients I'm thinking about adding to my pantry, other seasonal foods, and favorite cooking gear. The things you like are sure to find their way to the recipes here on The Perfect Pantry, so do tell.
Here's what I love about rubber spatulas: you can slip their heads off, pop them into the dishwasher or soak them in a bowl of hot hot hot water, and they get clean. Really clean, in a way that wooden spoons never do (and you know how much I love my wooden spoons). You can use rubber spatulas in high heat cooking, for mixing and folding, to get at sticky things like rice or molasses... so many uses, and rubber spatulas come in all sizes to accommodate. I have a small one, a very large one, a bunch of medium-sized ones, and my favorite, leopard spots with a silicone handle. (My husband Ted and I can tell you a true story about a dinner party hostess who once lost a corner of a rubber spatula in a batch of chocolate mousse -- and went ahead and served that mousse after warning us that someone might bite into a piece of rubber. I'm not kidding.) I use my rubber spatulas every day.

Last week: cashews. Seems I'm not the only person who picks the cashews out of the mixed nuts bowl and leaves the rest behind.
