Le Creuset Craft Medium Spatula
The Le Creuset Craft Medium Spatula is the everyday workhorse of the Craft Tools range. The flat silicone head handles stirring, sauteing, folding, and scraping with equal ease, and the medium size suits the widest range of pan sizes and cooking tasks.

Questions and answers:
Can I leave the head attached when I wash it?
It is better to remove the head before washing. Water can get trapped between the silicone and the wooden handle if you wash the assembled tool, which can damage the wood over time. Both parts clean quickly when separated.
Is this suitable for all types of pan?
Yes. The silicone head is safe on non-stick coatings, enamelled cast iron, stainless steel, and ceramic surfaces. It will not scratch or mark any of these finishes.
How does this differ from the Large Spatula and the Spatula Spoon?
The Medium Spatula has a broad, flat head that is best for stirring, folding, and scraping. The Large Spatula has the same head profile but at a bigger scale for larger pans and quantities. The Spatula Spoon has a deeper, more bowl-like shape for scooping and serving as well as stirring.
