Lack of Spatulas

Let me comment on the Lack of Spatulas in my last post. I work in a very nice professional Culinary setting. In such settings their are some universal truths, White Spatulas are for mixing, Red Spatulas are Heat Resistant and are for cooking. Everyone everywhere knows this. Yet all the cooks use the white ones for cooking and Destroy them. so then there are a finite number of red spatulas left. and since everyone uses one for every recipe they make there is often not enough spatulas. The Dish Washers are often times bombarded with Spatula Requests, or cooks going through sorted piles of dishes looking for spatulas.

I feel that in every Profession and in every walk of life there are Spatulas, and a shocking Lack of Spatulas. Maybe Time is your Spatula, or Pencils. Maybe there isn't enough staplers in your office, or maybe like me it is actual Spatulas. Don't let the Lack of Spatulas hold you back, do what I do. Put on Gloves and mix things with your hands. Gets the job done and makes you look cool.

P.S. - When I say Spatula I'm talking about Rubber ones, not those crappy Flippy ones for the Grill. We got way to many of those, and they don't mix worth a darn. Trust me.

  1. What? No comments?! I thought Weird Al would've caught this post immediately. Seems right up his alley.

  2. I tried to comment on your first post back but I cannot read those letters and numbers to prove I'm not a robot! I tried 3 separate times and finally just gave up. I let the lack of spatulas stop me. Oh dear. :(

  3. Ha! I used to go crazy about the lack of spatulas when I worked! Resist the urge to complain about the day that you loved, which is HARD because I have that habit, too. But when you wrote about it you didn't complain at all, so that shows you actually probably don't complain the whole time after all.

  4. So, everything with a handle and a flat thing on the end is a spatula?
    I would think there would specific terms so there is no confusion in the kitchen.
    Turners for turning and flipping, spatulas for applying and spreading, and scrapers for scraping stuff out of bowls or trays.
