1.) A spatula head that doesn't separate from the handle, leaving an open, dark, narrow recess that causes me to constantly wonder, "What's growing in there? How am I supposed to keep this clean?"
2.) A heat-resistant spatula I can actually cook with, not reserve exclusively for scraping dregs from bowls.
3.) A dishwasher-worthy spatula whose wooden handle doesn't deteriorate into splinters long before its head is dead.
4.) A spatula whose head is flexible enough (but not too flexible :-) to do thorough scraping in the far reaches of a blender or deep jar.
With these 4 criteria met, I would be satisfied, but Orka All-Silicone Spatulas are beautifully weight-balanced so they feel good in my hand, and are easy to use. There are other spatulas with a "spoon" head for larger jobs, but combining the "spoon" with Orka's other features adds to its usefulness. Orka spatulas also add a bright touch of color to the container of utensils on my counter. I give these spatulas as gifts and get glowing feedback. "Glowing" and spatula? An unlikely pairing, but this is an exceptional spatula.

I have two Orka spatulas, a straight one and one like this spoon-shaped. I now have to throw out the spoon-shaped one since it first began disintegrating on one side (read: chip) and now has done the same on the other side. While one *could* still use it I'm afraid of having minute sized chips of silicone end up in my baked goods... The first time it occurred for no apparent reason, I didn't use it near a blade or dry it immediately next to a knife, and only noticed it later. The 2nd time the silicone came off when I was scraping a *plastic* jar of peanut butter.I still love the utility of this spatula, love its design, and how it fits into your hand... but major minus points for durability. In my mind, a $10 to $12 spatula should last a LOT longer.
