FAQs
What is the overall length of the spatula?
The Wilton Comfort Grip Spatula measures 27.5 cm (11 inches) in total length.
What are the dimensions of the stainless steel blade?
The flexible stainless steel blade measures 15.2 cm (6 inches) long.
Is this spatula dishwasher safe?
Yes, it is top-rack dishwasher safe. However, for the best results and to prolong its lifespan, hand-washing in warm, soapy water is recommended.
What type of icing is this spatula best for?
It is ideal for spreading various types of icing, frosting, ganache, and buttercream, especially when a smooth finish is desired.
Can this spatula be used for scraping bowls?
While it can scrape bowls, its flexible blade is primarily designed for spreading and smoothing rather than vigorous scraping. For tough scraping tasks, a more rigid spatula might be more suitable.
What is the benefit of the 'Comfort Grip' handle?
The ergonomic 'Comfort Grip' handle is shaped to fit naturally in your hand, providing enhanced comfort and control during use, which can reduce fatigue during longer decorating sessions.
How should I care for the stainless steel blade?
After each use, wash the blade in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. This will help prevent staining and maintain its flexibility and shine.
Troubleshooting
Icing is not spreading smoothly.
Ensure your frosting is at the correct consistency. If it's too stiff, try warming it slightly. Make sure the blade is clean and free of hardened icing.
The blade seems too flexible.
This spatula is designed for flexibility to aid in smooth spreading. For tasks requiring a stiffer tool, consider a different type of spatula. Ensure you are not applying excessive force which could bend the blade unintentionally.
Discoloration on the handle.
Clean the handle with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
