Le Creuset Silicone Small Spatula, Caribbeangoodus

Although this is a high-end brand spatula, I've replaced my existing ones with Le Creuset. They have beautiful colors, are made well and seem to be more bendable and easy to use then the other spatulas I've tried including Kitchenaide and Rubbermaid. I also like that the wooden handle is round, making it easier to handle.

I never thought I would love a spatula, but I do! This thing is sturdy - not flimsy like the ones we have used in the past.

Others have said this with other Le Creuset silicone products, but I somehow thought it was just a problem with a specific product when reading. Take the color you imagine to be a brilliant Caribbean blue (and see illustrated here) and mix it with a healthy dose of gray. Then you have this color. It's not brilliant at all.

On the other hand, it's a very nice quality spatula. The wooden handle in particular is smooth and solid and pleasantly rounded. It's just a disappointing color.

Update (a year later): I really do appreciate the quality of the spatula if not the color and will be buying more Le Creuset spatulas. The handle is really solid and smooth and quite unlike any other spatula I've ever had. I'm upgrading to four stars from my previous three.

Also, although I wouldn't buy this color again, these are such nice spatulas that it occurs to me they'd make great gifts.
