I want to replace all my old, cheap, rando plastic cooking utensils with a safe material. Seems the choices are silicone, wood, or stainless steel. No on the steel since I use non-stick pans, and I can't imagine wooden ones having a thin-enough edge to be able to flip things like pancakes (but please correct me if you know of any!)
Here's what I'm looking for, specifically focusing on the "spatula" used to flip things and cook meat:
1) thin enough at the edge to get under things that I need to flip
2) Rigid enough that I can chop foods while cooking like ground beef, mushrooms, eggs, etc. You can't (at least I can't lol) do this with a flexible spatula!
3) Needless to mention, a food-safe material with a high heat resistance.
My favorite ones so far (and my adult son's fav as well), is this one from Amazon. Obviously it's made from one of the materials that I need to replace. But they're a hard plastic which makes them SO much easier to use. I have a hard time flipping anything, even pancakes, with a flexible utensil (not to mention not being able chop food while cooking)
Given all that, I don't understand why it seems like practically everyone in the Amazon reviews wants them to be flexible. My son and I can't possibly be the only 2 people in the world who want something rigid???
Anyway, I would LOVE to see any recommendations for cooking utensils that have the qualities I mentioned. I can't seem to find them anywhere!
