Spatulas

Spatulas are essential utensils for scraping, folding, spreading and turning food in busy commercial kitchens. This range covers wooden, silicone, rubber ended, stainless steel and specialist dough spatulas to suit every cooking and baking task. Ideal for restaurants, cafes, hotels, bakeries and food trucks, these tools help you work cleanly on the hob, grill, griddle and prep bench. Durable, heat resistant designs support safe handling, protect non-stick cookware and keep service running smoothly during peak periods.

• Wooden spatulas in multiple lengths for stirring sauces, stews and batters without damaging pots and pans.
• High heat silicone and rubber ended spatulas and scrapers designed to withstand elevated temperatures on hobs and hot pans.
• Stainless steel spatulas in narrow and wide blade options for precise turning, lifting and plating on grills and griddles.
• Dough spatulas and scrapers tailored for bakeries and pastry sections, ideal for mixing, folding and bowl scraping.
• Compact mini spatulas for working in smaller pans, containers and gastronorms where control and accuracy matter.
• Professional brands selected for strength, comfort and reliability in demanding hospitality environments.

How to choose the right Spatulas

• Match the spatula length to your cookware and prep area so staff can reach safely into deep pots, pans and mixing bowls.
• Choose silicone or rubber ended models for use with non-stick and delicate surfaces to prevent scratching and extend pan life.
• Select stainless steel spatulas for grills, griddles and heavy-duty turning where rigidity and precise control are required.
• Consider heat resistance ratings if working on hot plates, fryers or saute stations to avoid warping or melting during service.
• Use dough and bowl scrapers in bakery and pastry sections to handle sticky mixes efficiently and reduce waste.
• Standardise handle colours and styles across the kitchen to support clear station allocation and easy staff training.

Care and maintenance

• Clean spatulas promptly after service, following manufacturer guidance on dishwasher safety and maximum wash temperatures.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on silicone and rubber ends to prevent surface damage and loss of flexibility.
• Inspect wooden spatulas regularly for cracks or splinters and replace any damaged items to maintain food safety.
• Check stainless steel blades for bent edges or loose handles and retire worn tools before they become a hazard.
• Store spatulas in utensil racks or hanging rails to allow proper air drying and to keep handles easy to access during service.
• Implement a rotation system so high-use spatulas are replaced on schedule, keeping your kitchen compliant and efficient.
