Expert Review and  Insights

Matfer Bourgeat has a reputation for creating tools that feel like a natural extension of a chef's hand, and  this Exoglass spatula is no exception. It has a reassuring sturdiness that cheaper alternatives lack, giving you real confidence when working with heavy batters or scraping down a hot pan. It’s a prime example of 'buy it once, buy it well'.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Built to Last: The rigidity is fantastic; it won't bend under pressure.
  • Less Flexible: Not as pliable as silicone for very delicate folding tasks.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Sweet Cacao', a boutique confectioner in Bath, was struggling with standard spatulas that would stain from food colourings and  degrade when working with hot caramel. They needed a more robust and  hygienic solution for their high-end production line.

"We were constantly throwing away stained and  melted spatulas. The Matfer Exoglass spatula was a revelation. It handles high-temperature sugar work without a problem, and  after a quick wash, it looks brand new. It’s made our process cleaner and  more professional."

Robert Davies – Owner & Head Confectioner

The switch completely eliminated utensil melting, leading to a safer kitchen and  a 60% reduction in annual utensil replacement costs.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Wash thoroughly in hot, soapy water before its first use.
  • The spatula is ready to use straight away – no seasoning or prep required.
  • Inspect for any transit damage (though it's highly unlikely with this material!).

Keeping It in Top Condition

  • Completely dishwasher safe for easy and  effective cleaning.
  • Can be sterilised at high temperatures for maximum hygiene.
  • Avoid using abrasive metal scourers to maintain its smooth surface.
  • Store dry with other utensils; its one-piece design prevents moisture retention.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Professional Spatula

Not sure which spatula is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the perfect tool for the job.

Material is Everything

Your choice of material dictates durability and  use. Silicone is flexible, steel is strong but can damage pans, and  Exoglass offers a unique blend of high-heat resistance and  rigidity.

Check the Heat Resistance

For professional kitchens, a spatula must handle direct contact with hot pans and  liquids. A rating of 220°C, like this one, is ideal for everything from sugar work to sautéing.

Prioritise Hygiene

A one-piece, non-porous design is critical. It leaves no seams or cracks for food and  bacteria to hide in, making it far easier to clean thoroughly and  keep food-safe.

Consider the Task

Do you need to fold delicate egg whites or scrape down a heavy-duty mixer bowl? A flexible silicone spatula is great for the former, while a rigid Exoglass spatula excels at the latter.

Think Long-Term Value

A cheaper spatula might save you a few pounds today, but a high-quality, hardwearing model from a brand like Matfer will last for years, saving you money and  hassle in the long run.

Q: Is this spatula safe to use on my non-stick pans?

A: Yes, the Exoglass material is firm but non-abrasive, making it perfectly safe for use on all types of cookware, including non-stick surfaces.

Q: What is the maximum temperature this spatula can handle?

A: It is heat resistant up to 220°C (428°F), making it ideal for high-heat cooking applications.

Q: Is the Matfer Pelton spatula dishwasher safe?

A: Absolutely. It is designed for professional kitchens and  is completely safe to be washed in a commercial or domestic dishwasher.

A: The Exoglass material is non-porous and  highly resistant to staining and  odour absorption. It will wash clean easily.

Q: How flexible is it compared to a standard silicone spatula?

A: It is significantly more rigid than silicone. This provides excellent strength for scraping and  lifting, but it has less 'give' for delicate folding tasks.

A: That is the overall length of the spatula from the tip of the handle to the end of the blade.

What is Exoglass and  Why Does It Make a Better Spatula?

Ever wondered what makes an Exoglass high temperature spatula so special? It's not plastic. Exoglass is a proprietary composite material, reinforced with fibreglass, developed by Matfer Bourgeat. Think of it like the carbon fibre of the kitchen world – it’s engineered to be exceptionally strong, non-porous, and  resistant to extreme temperatures, all while being surprisingly lightweight.

For a chef, this means you get a tool that won’t melt into your caramel, warp in the dishwasher, or snap when you're scraping a heavy mix from the bottom of a bowl. Unlike wood, it won’t absorb flavours or smells, so your raspberry coulis won't taste faintly of last night's garlic sauce. It delivers the ultimate in durability and  food safety, which is why professionals swear by it.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for line cooks who need a reliable, heat-resistant tool for sautéing and  sauce work on the hob.
  • Bakeries & Pâtisseries: Perfect for handling hot sugar, tempering chocolate, and  scraping down commercial mixer bowls without leaving residue.
  • Mobile Caterers: A tough, hygienic, and  easy-to-clean utensil that stands up to the demands of transport and  varied environments.
  • Culinary Schools: A safe, durable, and  professional-grade tool for teaching students the fundamentals with equipment that's built to last.
