I love cooking, but no one told me that when I had kids, I’d have to hone in on my efficiency in the kitchen. I love making elaborate meals like roast chicken and brisket when I can, but most of the time, it’s about how fast I can get dinner done and how few utensils, pots, and pans I can use to make cleaning up a breeze. I’ve found one utensil that eliminates the need for multiple spoons, spatulas, and scrapers in Staub’s multifunction tool, now one of my kitchen’s most valuable items. 

Staub’s Multifunction Spatula Spoon

The Staub multifunction spatula spoon works as a spoon, a spatula, a scraper, and a serving spoon. It’s made from food-safe and durable BPA-free silicone and an acacia wood handle. It’s scratch-resistant and heat-resistant and can be used on any cooking surface, including nonstick. It even comes with a hanging loop for kitchens where space is at a premium. 

I’m the child of a Filipino woman who taught me that wooden spoons are the only acceptable utensils when cooking. However, I felt I lacked a tool with a little more depth for spooning, so I got the Staub Multifunction Spatula Spoon to put it to the test. 

I immediately tested it by using it to scrape the bottom of my Dutch oven after browning some meat. I was happy to see that the delicious bits came right up with very little resistance, and I was able to use the tool to continue cooking a one-pot meal — including using it to scoop heaps of rice, something my wooden spoons struggle with. I’ve since used it to do everything from taste test pasta doneness to scooping out meat to the ultimate test of stirring Rice Krispie treats. The Staub Multifunction Spatula Spoon handled the sticky marshmallows like a champ and was easy to clean. 

I’m not the only fan. A recent Amazon customer said it “does not scratch pans” and that the “shorter handle has better control” than similar tools. Another shopper said that it was a “good size, comfortable to use,” and of “Staub quality,” “great for nonstick and stainless steel cookware.” A third customer called it “the best kitchen utensil” because it is “easy to clean” and “holds up to heat” with “handles that don’t get hot.” 

A multifunctional cooking tool is essential in the kitchen. If you’re ready to upgrade yours to one that quickly does it all, try the Staub Multifunction Spatula Spoon. 

At the time of publishing, the price was $15.
