  • Top-Tier Durability: This commercial Exoglass spatula genuinely feels like it will last a lifetime.
  • Less Flexible: It's quite stiff, making it less ideal for super delicate folding tasks.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli in Norwich was constantly replacing its kitchen spatulas. The head chef was frustrated with plastic models melting on pan edges and  wooden ones becoming stained and  unhygienic over time, leading to frequent re-ordering and  waste.

"We switched to the Matfer J074 kitchen spatula about a year ago and  haven't looked back. It's been used on hot pans, with strong spices, and  thrown in the dishwasher daily. It still looks brand new. It's the definition of 'buy it once, buy it right'."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

The deli has eliminated its quarterly spend on replacement spatulas and  improved its kitchen's hygiene rating by using easily sterilisable, non-porous tools.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

First Use

  • Give it a quick wash with soap and  warm water before its first use.
  • That's it! This spatula is ready for action right out of the box.

Keeping It Going

  • After use, you can pop it straight into the commercial dishwasher.
  • For maximum hygiene, the material can be safely sterilised.
  • Avoid direct contact with open flames or hotplates to ensure a long life.
  • Store in a utensil pot or drawer to protect the blade edge from nicks.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Spatula

Not sure what to look for in a professional spatula? Here are a few quick tips to help you choose the best tool for your kitchen.

Material Matters

Look for non-porous, durable materials like Exoglass or high-grade silicone. They are more hygienic and  longer-lasting than wood or cheap plastic.

Consider the Heat

Always check the maximum temperature. A good heat-resistant spatula (200°C+) is essential for working with hot pans and  sugar work.

Size and  Shape

A 10-12 inch spatula is a great all-rounder. Consider a spoon-shaped spatula ('spoonula') for scooping sauces, or a flat one for scraping and  folding.

Handle with Care

A one-piece design is best as there are no crevices for food to get trapped in, making it far easier to clean and  keep hygienic.

Flexibility vs. Rigidity

Silicone spatulas are very flexible for delicate tasks, while composite ones like this Exoglass heat resistant spatula offer more rigidity for heavy-duty mixing.
