Epicurean Silicone Series Large Spatula — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Epicurean Silicone Series Large Spatula?
The Epicurean Silicone Series Large Spatula blends a paper-composite handle with a removable high-temperature silicone head. It’s designed for scraping, mixing, folding, and general kitchen utility — safe for nonstick cookware.
What are the specifications and features?
• Length: 12.75″ (approx.)
• Head: removable silicone, heat resistant up to **600 °F / 315 °C**
• Handle: paper-composite (wood fiber + resin) for strength and comfort
• Thickness / profile: ~¼″ (thin profile)
• Safe for nonstick / coated cookware (nonabrasive)
• Dishwasher safe, easy to clean (head removable)
• Made in the USA (with U.S. and imported parts)
How do I use the large spatula?
• Use it for scraping bowls, folding batters, mixing, or scraping every last bit of food.
• Because the head is removable, you can detach it for easier cleaning.
• The silicone is gentle on nonstick surfaces, so you can use it safely in coated pans.
• Avoid exposing the spatula head to direct flame or broiler heat beyond its rating.
How should I maintain and care for it?
• Remove the silicone head and clean both parts — the head and handle — in the dishwasher (top rack) or by hand with mild soap.
• Rinse promptly after use to avoid sticky residue building up.
• Use nonabrasive sponges or cloths; avoid steel wool or harsh scouring pads on the silicone.
• Inspect the head-handle junction periodically for loosening.
• Store it dry and avoid long exposure to moisture in the handle area.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Removable high-heat silicone head means easier cleaning and durability
• Safe for nonstick and coated cookware (won’t scratch)
• Thin profile allows better scraping and reaching corners
• Dishwasher safe and convenient for daily use
Limitations / cautions:
• The paper-composite handle may be sensitive to prolonged soaking or exposure to high moisture
• It should not be exposed to direct open flame or extremely high broiler heat beyond its silicone’s tolerance
• Under very heavy leverage, the composite handle may flex or stress more than solid metal tools
