For me, Pampered Chef silicone scrapers, spatulas, and spoonulas are the best around. I'm sure there are other brands that perform well, but they simply can’t compare.

What's so great about them? The heads are fused to the handles, so there's absolutely no risk of yucky bits getting trapped in there (that also means the heads will never fall off), they're impervious to stains (even tomato sauce), they're heat resistant up to 450F, and they're dishwasher safe (the ultimate test of kitchen friendliness as far as I'm concerned).

Also, they last for years. Some of mine are over 20 years old and still going strong - worth every penny. They come in all shapes and sizes, but the Spoonulas are my favorite. They have a super cute mini spoonula too. If you prefer the shape of a traditional spatula, they’ve got you covered, and if you need a skinny one to get down in the bottom of jars and such, here you go.
