When we enjoy the fun of baking, we need some essential baking tools to assist us, so we can enjoy the baking time indeed! Heat-resistant silicone spatula is one of them, it is the most essential tool in baking, and it is an indispensable good helper! With the help of the silicone spatula, we can scrape more cleanly in the bowel without wasting ingredients, and when the cake batter is mixed, it is necessary to use the cutting method to gently mix the butter together, and then you need the help of the baking silicone spatula!
What are the types of spatula? 
They are divided into one-piece molding and separation, and there are three types of materials: silicone, plastic, and wood. Among the baking spatula, the most common is the silicone baking spatula, because the silicone baking spatula is high temperature resistant and durable and soft, and it can also fit the conditioning basin wall, so that the batter on the basin wall is scraped clean, and the silicone material can withstand heat up to 230 degrees, which is more secure and durable than the general plastic scraper.
The one-piece spatula has steel bars core to support, so it will be more durable, but the relative weight will be heavier, but it is still the most recommended to use a one-piece silicone spatula.
The weight of the detached baking scraper is relatively light, the type of pattern is also more changeable, and the handle of the scraper is mostly made of plastic or wood, but the disadvantage is that the place of the connection needs to be carefully cleaned, otherwise it is easy to hide dirt and dirt and cause mold, so the place at the junction should pay more attention to cleaning.
How do I choose a silicone spatula for baking?
- Softness
Spatula with different softness can be used on ingredients with different textures, if you want to make a hard dough, you need to use a spatula with a stiff scraper to mix the batter, if you need to make a soft cake batter, you need to use a softer scraper to mix the dough gently.
- Handle Material
There are many kinds of materials for the handle of the baking spatula, such as wood, silicone, plastic, etc., but the feel of the handle of the baking scraper will be more subjective, so it is still according to personal preference to choose!
Also pay attention to the quality of the handle, if it is an inferior plastic handle or wooden handle, not only is it easy to cut our hands, but also has poor bearing capacity, it is easy to be broken, not only before we finish our dessert will be injured first, so don’t want to say that it is good to buy a cheap and bad quality one, even if it is cheap, you have to pick a good quality baking silicone spatula.
- Type
The types of spatula are one-piece and separate, so what is the difference between them? Their difference is at the junction between the scraping head and the handle! Simply put, the one-piece type will be more durable than the one-piece type, but the weight of the one-piece type will be heavier than the one-piece type, and it is easier to clean than the one-piece type.
Therefore, we recommend that you choose a ‘one-piece’ baking silicone spatula, but the style of the split spatula is more varied, and you can still choose according to your preferences!
- Heat Resistance
It is recommended that you choose a spatula with a heat resistance of more than 200 degrees, which is the best, because some desserts will need to have a heating step when making, such as boiling sugar, don’t underestimate the sugar temperature, the temperature of boiling sugar will exceed 100 degrees, so it is necessary to choose a baking silicone scraper with a heat resistance of more than 200 degrees.
