My recent gadget obsession has been around the Switchit Spatulas.  They are simply fantastic!  (I may begin to sound like an infomercial here…)  If you don’t have one and haven’t seen one, the Switchit is ingenious.  It has two useable ends – a narrow spatula on one end and a wider spatula on the other.  They come in a range of bright, modern colors, they are heat resistant up to 650 degrees, and they are incredibly sturdy.  You can use them for anything you’d use a traditional spatula for, the only difference is that once you use one of these, you’ll never want your old spatula back!  I have two, an all-purpose one with wide and medium ends, and a great one with two narrow-ish ends.  They’re great for everything from mixing to cooking to coaxing that last stubborn bit of peanut butter out of the jar.

The Switchit is made by a company called Chef’n, and finding their website for this blog was dangerous work because now I see that they make all kinds of great gadgets and tools – Switchit spatulas for flipping burgers and pancakes, ice cream scoops with ice breaking edges, and a nifty tool to slice and remove grapefruit sections.  I don’t have one of those…excuse me, please, while I go locate my credit card…
