I recently got this :

 

OxFF.thumb.jpg.4353d52ad1b89caa829850bd7dfc7729.jpg

 

Oxo FlipnFold.  its not at BB&B in my area , you have to order.  got this one at Amazon to take me up to the 25 $ free shhipping

 

OXO Good Grips Flip and Fold Omelet Turner

 

its larger than I thought , but a very good feel to it. the clear silicone  is very flexible 

 

I think the mini might be nicer as this  one is quite large

 

mini does not appear to be in stock at Amazon

Not at Target , but possible depending

 

I snagged the last one at my local Crate and Barrel !

C&B  could not find my Oxo-small

 

it was said there was only one

 

they secured it for me as we discussed this 

 

politely   telephonically

 

wellI did fined,  a small nice white cup for drip coffee

 

while I waited

 

they could, not of course fined the Item they secured for me

 

but .....................

 

does C&B  monitor eG ?

 

so they actually had 8 of the small Oxo's mentioned above :

 

I bought an extra one   Why ?

 

spatulas.thumb.jpg.b94dbf14a368a2c172efa37821d4d815.jpg

 

here are the various I have.

 

the third from the bottom is my WorkHorse

 

its no longer made , but I have three I use   one one still in the wrapper from BB&B

 

I think it lost its place quite some time ago, because of a ' lip ' of plastic on the handle

 

for preventing it form submerging in your "" Soup "

 

but it had and has if you have some the key to

 

Spatulas :

 

Firm Shaft , no bending while working with it

 

and a fine flexible silicone end that's sharp

 

to clean up your bowl

 

the second one

 

Rubber Made

 

is a bit of a disaster 

 

the shaft is not study enough to Do Your Work

 

and the rubber work end is not sharp at all !

 

so now

 

Oxo has these

 

forget about Omelels 

 

these are a mighty fine

 

Bowl Scraper and the like

 

if you can find both , fine

 

the larger is for Big Bowl Work

 

and the smaller is for Small Bowl Work.

 

you wont regret looking to these

 

with just a click

 

or a visit to your Local Maul

 

the later I don't recommend 

 

unless there is a 

 

Fine Place for Good Food

 

just saying

In spite of the 1970's yellow/brown motif, I have just amazoned this thing.

 

Thank goodness it isn't avocado.

 

Much rather it was red or black. 

 

I'm certain it would work even better in those colors.

For a bowl scraper, I highly recommend the iSi silicone scraper that was recommended somewhere around here by @btbyrd. Sadly, it's currently only available in green (or an Amazon Warehouse black one).  Hopefully it will return as I have given many as gifts and they've consistently gotten good feedback.

It works as a bench scraper and will scrape out a bowl quicker than anything else I've used.

I have a red one for savory cooking and white for sweets. 

 

Their slim silicone spatula is also excellent.  I have but don't really care for the regular or wide spatulas.

My old GE electric knife with the wall-mount had the yellow and brown *and* avocado, so it would work with any kitchen decor. :P

They have it in all colours at the Isi store - and cheaper too. Although I stopped before looking at shipping.

Ive used the bowl scrappers mentioned above

 

they can be very good if flexible w a sharp edge.

 

the Oxo has an advantage ;  the handle makes it  easier to get into the bowl w/o having to reach so far into the bowl.
