We Heart Living – Rubber spatula

Andrew James Rubber Spatula (£3.39, andrewjamesworldwide.com)

I’m slightly ashamed to admit that it was only a short time ago that I began cooking with a rubber spatula. This essential staple of mine may seem basic, but it’s a truly unsung hero. When I was younger, I wasted so much time using a wooden spatula when trying to scrape out the last of the cake mix. Although commonly taken for granted, a rubber spatula is a kitchen saviour that I’m certainly grateful to have discovered.
