A silicone pancake spatula, also known as a silicone turner or flipper, is a kitchen tool specifically designed for flipping or turning pancakes. It is made from flexible silicone material that is heat-resistant and non-stick, making it ideal for use with pancakes or other delicate foods.
The silicone pancake spatula typically has a thin and wide head or blade, perfect for fitting under pancakes without causing them to break or tear. The thin edge easily slides under the pancake, while the wide surface provides stability and support when flipping or turning it.
The advantage of using a silicone pancake spatula is its non-stick property, which prevents pancakes from sticking to the spatula during flipping. This makes it easier to achieve perfectly cooked and intact pancakes without any mess. Additionally, silicone spatulas are less likely to scratch or damage non-stick pans or delicate surfaces.
When using a silicone pancake spatula, you simply slide the spatula under the pancake, gently lift and flip it over to cook the other side evenly. The handle of the spatula is typically made of a different material like stainless steel or plastic for a comfortable grip and easy handling.
Silicone pancake spatulas are easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Their flexible, heat-resistant, and non-stick nature makes them a convenient and practical tool for pancake flipping, ensuring that your pancakes come out beautifully every time.
