Nailing the perfect temperature and consistency on that piece of tilapia requires the right pan, flame, lube, and yes, spatula. This unsung hero of the kitchen is called upon to flip burgers, pancakes, and even scripts when 90s-era rappers begin pontificating. The Ultimate Spatula ($20) is simply a single piece of molded silicone that does every damn thing you want a spatula to do. It handles food temperatures up to 460 degrees, and it’s a breeze to clean.
