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. There is a 16 ½" size that 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.

We have the Rubbermaid Heat Resistant spoonulas and spatulas in several sizes, and duplicates of the smaller ones. We use them for everything in the kitchen. They do not stain, melt, or degrade in any way. They withstand the dishwasher very well, and are virtually indestructible. I even mixed a small batch of concrete patch with the largest one! The dried mix washed right off.

Each of my daughters-in-law got a pair in their Christmas stocking last year. I highly recommend these utensils.

Bought this product, with the matching scraper, about 5 years ago. I have about 8 (high quality/other brands) spatulas and scrapers, but these are the first ones I grab for! Great for working with food & confortable to hold. Love them!!

now i feel like rachael ray been looking for a spoonula for a while this is great!!! stirs and flips food, dont know how i lived without it,

I've used several sizes of the Rubbermaid spatulas for a few years and love them. They've slowly replaced all of the Le Creuset spatulas in my kitchen. The dishwasher killed my last Le Creuset spoonula, and low and behold Rubbermaid makes a spoonula now! Yay! The head is a bit bigger than Le Creuset's spoonula, but so far I haven't found that to be a problem. As in my reviews of the spatulas the plastic handle fused to the head is very practical. No water trapped inside after washing, no cracked or warped wood handles like with Le Creuset, etc.

These are great. I've had versions of these for 15 years, but they finally fell apart, so it was time for new ones. Best-designed kitchen spatulas I've owned... and the only ones that really can get all the contents out of a bowl. And believe me, I cook a lot!

I have used these for years. Even threw away my Rubbermaid non high heat spatulas. They are very good. I was looking to buy some for Christmas stocking stuffers. I am a Prime member, so there is no shipping. But the Amazon price is WAY out of line. You can find them at any good restaurant supply store on the web. I generally use Katom. The Katom price is $6.62, plus shipping. I can even pay the shipping charges, and it's still less money. It is a small item, so buying several would not increse the shipping much. Usually Amazon prices are in line with others. Don't know what happened on this one.

I bought this by accident; was 'aiming for' the equivalent scraper, didn't zoom in on the picture and bought the spoon version by accident.

I was going to return it but treating it as a 'happy accident' because it will be the PERFECT utencil for stirring my chili and getting all that wonderful fond mixed in!

4 vs 5 stars because rather than having some internal structure to make the 'spoon' shape have strength they just designed it super super thick making the spoon side quite heavy; it's like a rubber mallet with a dent on one side to make a spoon!

this thing is desgned to be used in a commercial environment, scraping out a 5-gallon size mixer etc. it will be comfortable in pots bigger than 6qt and oversized on smaller pots.

My wife and I are both pleased with this product. It grips well, flexes well, dishwasher washes well, and let's us access the "last grams" of jams, jellies, and peanut butter.

Have started a project of upgrading my kitchen utensils and cookware and have long had the Rubbermaid spoon spatula at the top of my list after doing much research and reading all the positive reviews. So I eagerly ordered this item when it went on the 4 for 3 sale and the price seemed right and it just arrived today. It greatly surprised me to receive a spatula that measures 2 3/8" at its widest point. Promoting this as a 3 inch wide spatula seems deceptive at best. The picture also gives the impression of a wider spatula.

I will say that this seems like a very good quality product and it may suit my needs just fine as a small spatula for scrambled eggs, sauces, clearing out my blender, etc. The silicone has a nice feel to it. The spatula seems firm with just enough flexibility at the top and around the edges. Really like the way the head attaches to the handle as well. Just do not buy this with the idea of getting a wide, heavy duty spoon spatula. It seems a shame that Rubbermaid has misadvertised such a seemingly good product.

Update: I returned the product. This spatula seems over-priced, particularly given the misleading product description.
