My Quest for the Perfect Spoonula (Spoon spatula)

Musing About Spoonulas In general, I'm not much of a collector, but it seems that right now I have eight different spatulas or spoonulas - and I still have not found my Spoonular Ideal.

What is my ideal, you ask? I use mine for mainly stirring on the stovetop, and scraping food out of bowls, pots, and skillets. Spoonulas seem to do this better, for the most part. I want a spoonula or spatula to have the following characteristics:

1. Head flexible enough to get around the curves of bowls and pans
2. Handle rigid enough not to bend when I put pressure on it.
3. Dishwasher safe
4. Comfortable handle neither too long nor too short
5. Heatproof

That doesn't sound like too much to ask, does it?

Right now, the spoonula I reach for the most is my Silvermark spoonula as it has the right amount of flexibility and sturdiness. (Not the more-expensive "new" Silvermark spoonulas, but the less-expensive plain ones.)

I like La Crueset, but the wooden handle has to be washed separately or it warps in the dishwasher.

I have a Cuisinart spoonula, which is very good except that it is way too long.

I have a "Good Cook" spatula - too short.

I have a sort of weird Rubbermaid spoonula which has an extremely flexible "neck" - it just sort of gives way entirely under pressure. It is great for getting the last of the mayonnaise out of the jar, though - just happens to be just the right shape. But I really don't need a utensil specifically for this purpose.

I have Zyliss and Onieda spatulas that are too stiff to do a good scraping job (but the Zyliss has a perfect handle).

I have an unnamed Gawdawful spoonula that combines the worst features of several of the above. If you have any suggestions for solutions to my Quest, feel free to Post to the Forum!
