Hi @FreeSpiritManette the difference is whether they are rubber or silicone …
What is the difference between a rubber spatula and a silicone spatula?
“Today, spatulas made from silicone are even more useful than the rubber ones, since silicone can withstand high heat. Besides using silicone spatulas for mixing brownie batter, you can use them for mixing your scrambled eggs as they cook or stirring a pot of soup on the stove.” Source: https://www.thespruceeats.com/
Wow @mars! What a great story (and so sad). You, my dear, are now the official Book Selector for the book club! I will follow you anywhere and read whatever you suggest!
Knock wood. I’ve escaped so far, because I don’t cook, don’t make coffee, don’t watch TV. If there’s anything that looks expensive, I won’t be using it. Even when I’m offered a car, I use it only for essentials, and not at all if I can order or walk for groceries and such.
