My first is this silicon spatula. It’s construction isnt just a silicon tip with wooden handle. Its the red silicon for much more of the handle, which I’ve felt makes it easier to clean and last longer, since gunk isnt getting wedged between the handle and tip. I like it so much I have two.
The second is probably just a spray bottle with water and dish soap. I clean up messes and the stove and countertops with it, and it’s incredibly convenient.
I will second the good quality spatula as a top tier kitchen utensil. I also have a favorite flat spatula, a favorite whisk, and a set of wood utensils all of which I use on a nearly daily basis. I’m still looking for the perfect knife, but I do have some decent ones at the moment so I can’t complain.
