How should I use the Small Spoonula?
• Use it for stirring, folding batters, sauces, and scraping the sides and bottom of bowls or pans.
• Its shape allows you to scoop and then scrape in one motion.

• Avoid exposing it to direct flame or heat well above 600 °F.
How do I care for and maintain it?
• It is dishwasher safe — place on the top rack.
• Rinse or wash soon after use to prevent residue drying onto the surface.
• Use nonabrasive sponges or cloths; avoid steel wool on the silicone head or handle.
• Inspect the junction between the silicone head and handle periodically for loosening.
