FAQs
What makes this spatula spoon different from a regular spatula?
The Craft Large Spatula Spoon has a deeper, spoon-like shape compared to a flat spatula, making it ideal for scooping and processing denser ingredients, while still retaining the flexibility to scrape and spread like a spatula.
Can I use this on high heat?
Yes, the premium silicone head is heat resistant up to 250°C (482°F), making it suitable for most cooking tasks. However, avoid direct contact with open flames or prolonged contact with excessively hot pan edges.
Is the entire spatula dishwasher safe?
The silicone head is detachable and dishwasher safe. The handle should be hand-washed to maintain its integrity and finish.
How do I ensure the silicone head is properly attached?
Once clean and dry, align the base of the silicone head with the end of the handle and push firmly until it clicks or feels securely seated. It should not wobble.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Craft Large Spatula Spoon comes with a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase.
Will this damage my expensive non-stick pans?
No, the premium silicone is designed to be non-abrasive and will not scratch or damage non-stick coatings or other delicate cookware surfaces.
What are the dimensions of the spatula spoon?
The dimensions are approximately L28cm x W7cm x H2cm.
Troubleshooting
Silicone head is difficult to remove
Ensure the head is completely cool. Gently twist and pull the head away from the handle. If stubborn, try a brief soak in warm water (ensure it dries thoroughly afterward).
Stains or discoloration on silicone head
For minor stains, wash with warm, soapy water. For stubborn stains, try a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and wash. Ensure the head is properly dried after cleaning.
Odor retention in silicone head
Soak the silicone head in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for several hours, then wash thoroughly with soap and water. Ensure it is fully dried.
Handle feels loose
Re-attach the silicone head firmly to the handle. Ensure both parts are clean and dry before reassembly. The secure fit should prevent wobbling.
