Chickendoodle Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Found the most amazing new spatula at Lakeland http://www.lakeland.co.uk/14710/Chefn-Stand-Mixer-Spatula It is absolutely brilliant for cake making and gets all the mix out of the beater - never knew I needed one until I got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Cor! At a penny short of ten quid I'd be expecting it to do the washing up too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 But it gives me an inordinate amount of pleasure using it. Give me a curved spatula over a bunch of flowers any day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Oooh, I remember my dear departed Mum buying a spatula similar to that years and years ago. The fact that you could get all the cake mix out annoyed me no end as I could no longer s"Ooops, word censored!"e the bowl to eat the last spoonful of mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Oooh, I remember my dear departed Mum buying a spatula similar to that years and years ago. The fact that you could get all the cake mix out annoyed me no end as I could no longer s"Ooops, word censored!"e the bowl to eat the last spoonful of mix Great minds think alike - I was just going to ask why exactly you would want a spatula that gets all the mixture out of the beaters when licking the beaters clean is the best bit?!

Alis girls Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Is it gold plated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I have one of those, it works superbly with the mixer. It's not just about gettin gthe stuff off the beaters, it's also about being able to s"Ooops, word censored!"e the stuff down the side of the bowl (even planetary action mixers need a bit of help). Straight handled spatulas just can't do it. In fact, I use mine while the beaters are running, but I imagine that's a bit of a ElfnSafety crime.

The Dogmother Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I have one which looks the same from our local market... cost me £2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I have a similar one from Pampered Chef (it was the cheapest thing in the catalogue ). It's fab and means I can clean the bowl so well that the boys don't need to . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I have a similar one from Pampered Chef (it was the cheapest thing in the catalogue ). It's fab and means I can clean the bowl so well that the boys don't need to . Cheaper than the £9 bread knife? I use my spatula specifically for 'licking' the bowl, never for getting every s"Ooops, word censored!" of mix into the tin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I have one very similar, love, love, love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 No cake making stint is complete without licking out the bowl... if I make cakes on a Sunday when Phil is around then he and Rosie fight over the left over mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I've got one for 99p. Granted it's not a Lakeland one, but it's a jazzy baby blue one & works a treat. Licking the bowl ( just a finger dip) is essential! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
