Plastic spatulas are primarily made of hard plastic, a choice made for good reason. First, plastic is durable, able to withstand bending and compression without easily deforming, ensuring the spatula's lifespan. Second, the smooth surface of plastic makes it easy to clean, easily removing food residue and paint, avoiding the risk of cross-contamination. Finally, compared to metal or wooden spatulas, plastic spatulas are more flexible and will not scratch the surfaces of cookware, dishes, or handicrafts, protecting their integrity.
