the proper spatula is a work horse in the kitchen :
the one at the top is RubberMaid , and popular w Chef-ie crowds.
its seen on Great British Menu and the like. its junk. the handle//shaft bends
and the rubber is blunt. it does work . its popularity is probably because it has a Red handle.
one down in my WorkHorse Ive had for a zillion years . I have half a doz. you can see
its done its work well. stiff handle , silicone that's still flexible.
the lower three are relatively new :

they are silicone , the handle is stiff .
I bought two sets either by mistake , prescience , or issues w needing new glasses.
Im glad I did. the silicone is easy to cut and trim
as you see in the lower example.
that one, trimmed , fits perfectly in a Heinz glass gravy jar.
it get a workout in the cooler months
for my Turkey Shepherds Pie.
