Rubbermaid FG196800RED 16.5 In High-Heat Spoon Scraper, Red, 0.393 Inch x 1.181 Inch x 1.181 Inch

I thought the handle would be too long. Wrong! The extra length is perfect for scooping out dough, reaching to the bottom of tall stockpots, snd keeping my wrist and forearms from getting burnt on the sides of pots and pans. Nice and heavyweight. Definitely a quality item.

right length and durable

These silicone spatulas are the highly recommended ones from a leading cooking magazine. So I purchased all these Rubbermaid professional heat resistant spatulas and spoonulas (9 ½", 13 ½" and 16 ½" in length). I use the spatulas primarily for folding ingredients in a mixing bowl. I prefer to use the spoonulas for scraping a bowl when I want to scrape out every last bit of cooking goodness (the edges of the spoonulas are thinner and the cupping of the spoonulas both help to scrape bowls, pans, and pots clean). The Rubbermaid professional plastic handles are more comfortable to use than the wood handles on my heat resistant spatulas and spoonulas. Also, the silicone heads of my wood handle ones are stiffer than the Rubbermaid professional ones. I think that little bit of flex in the Rubbermaid Professional silicone heads helps me scrape cleaner.I have yet to use the little notch on these spatulas for scraping under the opening of jars (I think they were intended for use on the commercial kitchen size jars) since the spatulas are 2 ¼" wide for the 9 ½" to 2 ¾" wide for the 13 ½" and 16 ½" long tools. The handle ends have small prongs that look like they are to help keep the entire spatula or spoonulas from sliding into a work bowl.I have some older Rubbermaid ones and they are definitely not stain resistant: the paprika has permanently stained one of the mixing spatulas. I was able to remove the paprika stain from the Rubbermaid professional spatula using dishwashing liquid and a nylon Scotchbright like pad. Also, my older Rubbermaid heat resistant spoonula developed a split at the tip and has warped a bit.I just realized that one of the reasons why I don't like my similar sized 13 ½" sized silicone spatulas and spoonulas with wood handles: the working end is heavy so the tool is not as balanced as these Rubbermaid Professionals.For most home kitchens, I'd recommend buying the 9 ½' and 13 ½" size spatulas and spoonulas. This 16 ½" size is very long and the silicone head is the exact same size as the 13 ½: (14" actual) size (4" X 2 ¾").PROS: The silicone heads have just the right amount of flex to scrape cleaner than similar sized scrapers and spoonulas. The handles are more comfortable and sized well.CONS: A bit expensive but you a get a tool likely to last.

Perfect for cooking without scratching stainless steel pots. I use it for everything including cooking, scraping food off of pots and the blender. What a great tool to have!

This is a great scraper and scoop. I love the design for scooping and it works well with nonstick pans while cooking. It is very sturdy and easy to clean, I will be ordering another one soon. I also have the extra large one and it is great for scooping and scraping out large pots or large jars.
