Matfer Flexible Rubber Bowl Spatula - 350 x 70mm

Simply Hospitality note: This is a medium-length production spatula and is best assigned to mixing bowls, pastry creams, batters, ganache, sauces and container clean-down rather than frying or lifting food from a hotplate. The flexible 70mm blade should make full contact without being forced. Scrape with the long edge, fold with a broad lifting motion, and retire the spatula as soon as the rubber develops cuts, hard spots, tackiness or a damaged handle junction.

Choose a bowl spatula by blade flexibility, width, overall reach and the temperatures involved in the task. A flexible rubber blade is particularly useful for scraping curved bowls, folding delicate mixtures and reducing product left on container walls. At 350 x 70mm, this Matfer model suits medium mixing bowls, saucepans and everyday pastry containers; choose a shorter tool for small bowls or a longer model for deep vessels. The supplier does not state a working-temperature limit for this exact New Zealand item, so do not assume it is suitable for direct pan heat or high-temperature confectionery. Use a separately rated high-heat spatula whenever the process temperature is critical.

About Matfer: Matfer is the specialist small-equipment arm of the French Matfer Bourgeat group, whose professional culinary history reaches back to 1814 in the markets of Paris. The business began with custom tin and copper pastry moulds and developed into an international reference for bakery, pastry and culinary utensils. Matfer's position is not based on decorative kitchenware; it is built on task-specific tools shaped by the practices of chefs, pastry cooks and food laboratories. That heritage is relevant even in a simple spatula: dimensions, flexibility, food-contact suitability and repeatable cleaning determine whether the tool genuinely improves a production routine. Choose Matfer when a professional workflow benefits from a purpose-designed implement and compare the exact size and material, because the brand's broad catalogue includes variants for very different vessels, temperatures and techniques.
