One of the tools that I think is most useful is a rubber spatula. Because you can use it for a lot of things you can use it to put butter on a pan you can use it in a hot pan with food in it to Mix it. I picked it because when I look at tools in the kitchen the first one I think of is a rubber spatula. It is used for a lot of things mixing when you are making a cake you can make sure you get all of the cake mix out of the bowl. We have not used them for Scraping things out of jars. I used The rubber spatula in my omelet lab to mix around my vegetables.
