 What's wrong with gluing the head to the handle? Sep 13, 2025
My spatula just arrived and I haven't even use it yet but I am writing not necessarily to review the spatula (which appears excellent) ---but more to ask others about the head coming off the handle as some have commented. Yes, it does appear that the head comes off easily and that this might be a problem if mixing something thick and the head falls off into the batter. I intend to use the spatula with a non-stick pan for cooking oatmeal and cous cous However, what's the big deal? Does anyone know whether if this becomes a problem there would be anything wrong with putting a couple of drops of Crazy Glue into the shaft of the head and then putting the handle into the head and the head would be permanently afixed? Yes, there are some who would probably complain that this will cause food to collect between the head and handle and difficult to clean. But is this a realistic complaint? It would seem to me, just make sure to wash it thoroughly,no problem. Besides, how much food would really be stuck? Also, over time, shouldn't the wood in the handle expand with washing and cause it to have a more secure fit into the head? Thus, less of a problem with the head falling off.
I would ask anyone to comment: What's wrong with gluing the handle to the head? I wish the manufacturer had a website, telephone number to ask.

The Best May 16, 2025
Le Creuset has done it: they have improved their previously superb spatula, two of which served me over a decade.
Now the handle is even better and the balance better, while the fabulous blade shape remains its marvelous self.
IMO, the best. Plain and simple. And the amazing high temperature astounds.

Worth every penny -- don't miss this FABULOUS tool! May 14, 2025
There are spatulas, and then there are spatulas.
You know the kind we grew up with? Plastic handle, plastic business end, frayed around the edges where they had melted a little in the dishwasher or being too near a hot pan, but useful for scraping the last wonderful bit out of bowls and jars. Not great for stirring -- made your shoulders tired -- so you used a spoon for that and just broke out the increasingly stiff spatula for its limited scraping operations.
Then there's this whole Le Creuset family of spatulas.
I don't care what size -- they're all wonderful. First the handle -- it's a very comfortable wood, well made, with a great feel, that almost effortlessly transfers the motions of your muscles to whatever its in. More economy of effort, less tiring -- so yes, I do stir with it now, instead of dirtying a spoon as well.
Second, the head -- oh my! Silky smooth, incredibly pliable, scrapes much more easily than those old plastic heads -- a true joy to use. And the bigger the better -- stirs more, scrapes more -- I can scrape a huge mixing bowl in just 3 swipes. And it feels great.
Last, and most surprisingly, it cooks! Yes, use it to stir a stir-fry! to scrape the last of a simmering tomato sauce out of the pan! To retrieve that last sticky lasagna noodle from the bottom of the huge stock pot that was boiling merrily 5 seconds ago! Yes, yes, yes. And the spatula is still soft, silky and unmarred the next day to scrape out a batter bowl.
I had a large one of these from Crate and Barrel for a year and then realized it was my most cherished cooking tool. Seriously. Then I lost it for a while and was surprisingly upset. By the time I found it again, I had ordered 4 more in different sizes on Amazon, figuring correctly that the Le Creuset line was the same as my original. Now I'm throwing out all the old plastic ones with a sigh of relief. I even managed to flip pancakes with this beauty last weekend. :)
If you think they're expensive, ask yourself how long a regular plastic one will last in its pristine condition (unmelted, I mean, unscratched, etc.) and how much value you place on a tool that functions immeasurably better and makes you feel good at the same time. I think you'll convince yourself, and I'm sure you'll be glad if you do!
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED in all sizes.
P.S. To be honest, I never run into the problem of the separating head that the previous reviewer mentioned -- because I just wash the whole thing, intact, in the dishwasher. Yes. Does it wear the wood out a little bit? Of course. Does the year-old one look a little less fresh in the handle than the brand new one from Amazon? Yeah... but do I care? no! The wood just looks a little more weathered, which is fine with me. It still feels wonderful in my hand. The new ones have all gone in the dishwasher now, too, and I expect they'll all do just fine. If not, it's my choice, and I'll just replace them a little sooner but enjoy both the luxury and the convenience in the meantime.

 Top falls off sometimes Nov 30, 2025
These are fine, but beware! The tops fall off sometimes, usually if you are working with something really stiff, like a thick batter! I own several and maybe my tops wouldn't fall off if I never put them in the dishwasher, which I have. I like the bright red color which goes with my kitchen.
