Enhance Your Baking Collection With Offset Spatulas

No baking collection is complete without a variety of offset spatulas in rotation. These thoughtfully-crafted items make a big impact on your cooking experience while remaining very affordable. The wide variety of sizes and designs available at Williams Sonoma make it easy to find the ideal tool for decorating the top of a mini cupcake or flipping over a sizzling quesadilla.

What is an Offset Spatula?

An offset spatula is one that has the blade at an angle from the handle. This slight angle makes it more ergonomic to slide the blade of the spatula under the item you're baking without causing damage to the delicate pastry or baked good. They come in a wide array of sizes and designs to choose from and can have a metal, plastic, or silicone blade. Choose one in a neutral tone or make a more playful choice by selecting a bold color or a spatula with an eye-catching pattern or design.

Using Offset Spatulas at Home

Spatulas are an essential item for any kitchen. Make sure at least one is an offset spatula and you'll find that it is a tool you will reach for often. These are just a few of the many ways to utilize an offset spatula in your cooking and baking routine:

• Smooth Out Icing: Offset spatulas provide the ideal for crumb coating and covering a cake or cupcakes with an even layer of frosting.
• Remove Cookies from a Tray: When you have hot cookies just out of the oven, an offset spatula is a perfect tool to slip under the cookie and release it from the pan.
• Flipping Items: When you're sauteing items in a hot pan, a wide offset spatula slips under the item with ease, making it effortless to achieve that perfect flip.

Giving the Gift of Offset Spatulas

Gift the avid baker in your life with a few offset spatulas slipped into the end of an oven mitt or packed along with a sophisticated kitchen apron. Pick out spatulas in a variety of sizes to suit all their baking needs. You can always add other common tools in, as well to round out the present.

Once you've stocked up on straight and offset spatulas, round out your kitchen collections with other essentials such as a whisk, tongs, slotted spoon and mixing spoons. Having measuring cups and spoons on hand will help you measure out all your ingredients with precision.
