As a trained cook, I’m not into kitchen gimmicks. I hate flashy tools like turkey carvers or peelers that end up in the trash after a few months.
But this $11.99 Supoon on Amazon is one of the best things I've bought this year. Part spatula, part spoon, part serving tool, it scrapes and serves like a pro while being gentle on my best non-toxic cookware.
I’m also not worried about using it in hot sauces, since it’s plastic-free and heat-safe up to 500°F. If you've been thinking about switching to non-toxic kitchen tools, this could be your perfect match.
The Supoon is a silicone tool that scrapes, stirs, and serves, with a flexible tip that works like a food squeegee. It's heat-resistant up to 500 °F, safe for non-stick and delicate ceramic cookware, and made from 100% virgin, BPA-free materials.
If you've been wondering how to replace black plastic utensils look no further. The tool is made from silicone, yet it's sturdy and cleverly shaped to scrape bowls and jars clean. I eat peanut butter every day, and the Supoon actually gets to the bottom and along the sides of the jar.
The handle is bent just enough so the Supoon sits upright on the counter, which limits drips on my work surface while I’m in the middle of prep. It seems small, but it makes a huge difference when you’re juggling multiple bowls and pans.
Dreamfarm (the people behind the design and one of the best affordable cookware brands on Amazon) has also placed teaspoon and tablespoon markings directly on the spoon, so it doubles as a measuring cup. I find it especially useful for adding small amounts of water to pan sauces.
I find it easy to hold – even with arthritic hands – and after use, I just toss it in the dishwasher, or give it a quick rinse. Residue slides right off the silicone surface.
Tried-and-tested silicone kitchen tools I recommend
I’ve ended up with a few Supoons in different sizes, because once you have one, you realize how useful it is across a range of tasks. I'm also a fan of this silicone turner and whisk.
This little version of the Supoon is great for scraping the dregs out of containers, like greek yogurt or mayonnaise. I also use it for getting the last coffee grounds out of my cannister.
The Supoon is fantastic, but it can't quite get underneath my pancakes or burgers to flip them cleanly. I really rate a fish slice for that. Sur La Table make the best silicon option I've tried.
If you love making gravy or mac ’n’ cheese in a non-stick pan, a silicone whisk is a must – it won’t scratch, chip, or damage the surface. OXO make the best in the business.
