Spatulas A spatula is a type of kitchen utensil used to scrape food, such as icing, from the edge of a bowl, and to blend or spread foods. Spatulas are often confused with turners but are actually very different. Spatulas have a broad, flat "blade" that is usually flexible while turners are crafted of solid metal and are used to flip or turn foods. Rosle spatulas are made from durable, heat resistant silicone and are the perfect accessory for any kitchen.
