The blade on this Le Creuset spatula spoon is thicker to break up dense ingredients and shaped with a deep bowl for mixing, stirring and serving. This dual-sided spoonula blade is curved for skillets and bowls, with a straight-edge tip for square and rectangular dishes and pans. The silicone-cushioned strike zone protects the rims of cookware and bowls from scratches or abrasions. Custom-designed in a smooth elliptical shape, the ergonomic wooden handle on this spatula spoon features grip rings for comfortable control and a tapered push/pull design for a slip-free grip. Removable silicone head is heat-resistant up to 480-Degree F, and dishwasher-safe. Perfect balance, curvature and grip, this Le Creuset tool excels in kitchen performance. The result of extensive research by an expert design team: an industrial designer, engineer and ergonomics expert, studying the geometry of cooking and baking vessels to arrive at ideal lengths and angles. Tested, evaluated and accoladed by consumers, this French-inspired tool modernizes the way home gourmets cook.
