Troubleshooting
Spreadable food sticks to the spatula.
Ensure the spatula is clean and dry before use. For very sticky icings, a light dusting of powdered sugar on the surface can help.
Silicone has a faint odor after washing.
Wash thoroughly with hot, soapy water or run through a hot dishwasher cycle. A baking soda paste can also help neutralize odors. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.
Spreadable is not applying smoothly.
Ensure the frosting or spreadable has the correct consistency. The flexible nature of the spatula is best suited for spreads that are not overly stiff.
