Can there ever be a perfect spatula? The cooking world is flipping over Switchit. It's the spatula for all reasons. On one end, it's great for broad, sweeping strokes. On the other end, it allows a bit more control and finesse. Using either end, the ingenious asymmetric design reaches any angle in any pot, pan or bowl. It features a hardened steel core with a heat-resistant and stain-resistant silicone exterior. The dual ended Switchit won't scratch non-stick cookware and is easy to clean and stain resistant.

Why is this so highly rated?:
I bought this spatula based on all the positive reviews here. Later, I found that Cook's Illustrated gave this their *lowest* rating, putting it last among a large number of spatulas. Unfortunately, that's where it belongs. This is almost useless for actual cooking, although I guess it's ok if all you're doing is flipping a fried egg or something. The material is quite soft, meaning you can't scrape the sides of a bowl. Certainly if you're working with a stiff dough you won't get enough leverage.... more info
Simply Excellent:
Wife loves it, extremely useful, easy to clean, her new favorite kitchen accessory! Safe on any surface up to 400F. I will be sure to let her know that there is a risk of breaking it but for the price you can't beat it.
My favorite kitchen tool, ever!:
I love this thing! They call it a spatula, which I think of more as something you flip burgers with, but whatever -- I guess I could flip a small burger with it. It's a great tool for stirring and mixing. It's great w/nonstick pans. I use it in prep and on the stove top. Others have complained that the silicone split where the metal support stops, but I've used mine frequently for over a year and see no sign of wear. I just bought a couple more for stocking stuffers.
this is THE SPATULA:
Your kitchen only needs one spatula, and this is it. The small end gets the last little bit of mayo from a huge jar, the big end can fold egg whites, flip pancakes, deglaze a hot skillet... well, you don't need me to tell you what to do with a spatula. I really love that it's one smooth piece of rubber. A regular spatula is 2 pieces- the handle and the blade. The blade can fall off, stuff gets inside the little hole of the blade where the handle fits in, or with time the hole gets loose and the blade... more info
