What kind of spatula are we talking about here? I know it's of the plastic variety, but are we talking about the flat kind that is used to flip things or the typical white spatula used for stirring things? It somehow makes a difference. You can find silicon spatulas that are heat-resistant to 600 degrees F. Plus they're dishwasher safe and will not stain or discolor. Shoot...I should go selling these things.
Amy: I think it's the kind that you use for smearing icing on things. It's made of rubber, which probably should've been my first clue that I shouldn't stick it into a metal skillet full of hot eggs. If you start selling spatulas, please sell me one that's made for stirring hot stuff.
Bri: Seems like it's always the hard way, when it comes to me and cooking. ;o)
This is an urban legend. Don't fall for it.
ReplyDeleteToo late! Matt, your good advice always seems to have a time lag. Why don't you just predict what I'm going to do before I do it next time?

ReplyDeleteSorry you're finding all this out the "hard way" as my dad would say...
