A slotted spoon is a must-have for lifting food out of liquid, whether you’re removing dumplings from boiling water or tempura veggies out of hot oil. One reviewer writes that she uses this spoon for removing ground beef from a frying pan. “The grease stays in the pan and only the beef makes it to the plate. It’s well built and easy to wash.”

Thin metal spatulas are often called fish turners (like this one!) because they’re perfect for flipping delicate, flaky foods like scallops and filets. We also love to pull this tool out anytime we need to get underneath stuck foods like brownies or cookies. One five-star review calls it a, “New go-to piece of equipment,” thanks to the ergonomic handle and angled edge.

When it comes to getting all the batter out of the mixing bowl (though we don’t discourage licking it!), there’s nothing better than a rubber spatula. This set includes two differently sized spatulas, perfect for everything from scraping peanut butter jars to folding cake batter.
