This might become your favorite kitchen tool. In the great tradition of winning combinations like brunch and spork, we present Spoonula, a clever combo of spoon and spatula by Rubbermaid ¿ and a clear utensil winner!! Heat resistant up to 400 degrees, there is perhaps no more perfect kitchen tool to use when stirring soups, stews, sauces and so on. Its smooth rubber head helps keep even the stickiest pot-roasts off the pot sides while stirring. It's lightweight and comfortable for long hours at the stove, and its slightly concave shape makes Spoonula perfect for taste-tasting that tomato and herb sauce you're making from scratch! And because it's part spatula and part spoon, it can be used for everything from de-panning cookies to serving potatoes! Last but not least, for beauty, Spoonula is a winner, too. In bright red, a striking accessory for today's hottest-colored kitchens! 13 1/2"

Customer Reviews
Just the right amount of flexibility and so far is pretty stain resistant
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.
Best for commercial use
As reviewer Lisa Hidalgo noted, "This tool is best for commercial use." It's big, as in really big, and though I love it, it's more like a shovel than a spoonula! This would work very well in large Hobart bowls in commercial kitchens. In a home kitchen, it's overkill. Get the 9.5-inch spoonula instead.
I expected something a little different
This tool is best for commercial use. The scraper part is a little too stiff and the handle too narrow to fit well in older hands.
