Best Offset Icing Spatulas for a Basic Kitchen Set

The deciding specification is whether the handle is drilled to hang, because three of these five publish a hole and two publish none, and a bent blade is an awkward thing to lay flat in a drawer.

Our Verdict

Awpeye drills a hole in every wooden handle and supplies four blades at 4, 6, 8 and 10 in with three plastic scrapers, at 0.57 lb. LEGERM and MCSDFN also publish a hanging hole, on three blades and two. TACGEA publishes three blades at 0.71 lb and no hanging provision at all. Ateco publishes a single 7 5/8 in blade on a riveted wood handle at 0.16 lb.

“A bent blade never lies flat in a drawer.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Which of these sets can be hung up?+

Three of the five publish a hole. Awpeye states that each handle has holes for easy hanging, which covers all four of its wooden handled blades. LEGERM describes an ergonomic wood handle with a hole and says the hole makes it easy to hang and store. MCSDFN states that each handle includes a hanging hole, allowing you to store them neatly and save space. TACGEA and Ateco publish no hanging provision at all, so both need a drawer, a jar or a crock.

Does any maker say how big the hanging hole is?+

None of them. All three listings that publish a hole describe it in words only, so whether it takes a slim cup hook, a rail hook or a pegboard peg is not stated anywhere. Nor does any listing include a hook, a rail or any hardware in the parts it names. That leaves the hole as a genuine provision without a specification, which is worth knowing before you plan a wall of hooks around it.

Which one covers the most blade sizes?+

Awpeye, with four: blades at 4, 6, 8 and 10 in, published alongside their total tool lengths of 7.5, 10.6, 12.6 and 14.6 in. It also adds three plastic scrapers, making seven pieces in one purchase. LEGERM and TACGEA each cover 6, 8 and 10 in. MCSDFN covers 6 and 8 in. Ateco covers a single blade at 7 5/8 in, which sits between the usual 6 and 8 in sizes rather than duplicating either.

Which of these can go in a dishwasher?+

Two say so. MCSDFN states the spatulas are dishwasher safe and have a smooth surface for quick cleaning. TACGEA states they are easy to clean and top rack dishwasher safe, which is the more specific of the two. Awpeye, LEGERM and Ateco publish no washing guidance, and all three have wooden handles. On the Ateco the blade is attached with two rivets, which is exactly the join that holds water after a machine wash.

Which listing publishes the most about the blade?+

Ateco. It states a tapered ground stainless steel blade for even flexibility, gives the blade as 1 1/4 by 7 5/8 in, names the natural wood handle and says the blade is attached with two sturdy rivets, and its dimension fields add 13.0 in for the whole tool. That is four separate facts about one blade. The three multi size sets publish blade lengths and little else, and none of the five publishes a blade thickness.

Which spatulas were left out of this page and why?+

The single tools with no storage provision and one that is not offset at all. OXO publishes a bent blade with a soft non-slip handle at 0.22 lb and a dishwasher line, but nothing about hanging. Tablecraft publishes a straight blade, not an offset one, measuring 6 by 1 1/4 in on an ABS handle at 0.1 lb. Anaeat publishes three blades at 0.48 lb with a plastic handle and no hole. All three are sound and none answers this page's question.

How the Five Compare on the Numbers

Twenty three listings sit on this pool and they divide on a single practical point. An offset blade is bent, thin and wider than its handle, which makes it a poor fit for a drawer and a natural fit for a hook. Around half of these makers drill the handle and say so. The other half publish a blade length, a steel claim and nothing about where the tool lives.

That is what this page ranks by. One of these five hangs seven pieces, three hang between two and four blades, and one publishes more about its single blade than any other listing here while offering no way to hang it. Two pool listings are also the wrong tool for the question: Tablecraft’s blade is straight rather than offset, and OXO publishes no storage provision at all.

What the table cannot tell you is the one figure every hanging claim depends on: the size of the hole. Three listings publish a hole and none publishes its diameter, and no listing in this pool supplies a hook, a rail or a hanger. It also cannot tell you any blade thickness, which is the specification that decides how a blade flexes under frosting, because not one of the five publishes one.

Which Handles Are Drilled

Three Holes, Four Blades, Seven Pieces

Awpeye is the most thorough about it. The material bullet states that the scraper is made of stainless steel with an ergonomic natural wooden handle and that each handle has holes for easy hanging, and the packaging bullet lists four blades at 4, 6, 8 and 10 in with total lengths of 7.5, 10.6, 12.6 and 14.6 in, plus three plastic scrapers. Seven pieces, four of them hangable, at 0.57 lb.

LEGERM makes a narrower version of the same argument for three tools. Its handle bullet describes an ergonomic wood handle with a hole, adds that the hole makes it easy to hang and store, and calls the handle lightweight and comfortable. The set covers 6, 8 and 10 in at 0.45 lb, which is the most common trio in this pool and the one most recipes actually need.

Two Blades With a Wash Rule

MCSDFN publishes the hole and the dishwasher in the same bullet, which no other pick manages: the spatulas are dishwasher safe with a smooth surface for quick cleaning, and each handle includes a hanging hole to store them neatly and save space. That pairing is the whole storage and cleaning question answered in one sentence for a two blade purchase at 6 and 8 in.

What it does not do is publish a single number beyond those two blade lengths. There is no weight, no dimension field, no package figure and no handle material, so the set can be placed in a kitchen by its behavior and not by its size. For a small purchase that is a fair trade and it is still the sparsest data on this page.

The Two With Nowhere to Hang

Three Blades and a Bare Size Field

TACGEA publishes three blades at 6, 8 and 10 in, rust proof and stain proof stainless steel, ergonomic non-slip handles, and top rack dishwasher safe, at 0.71 lb. That is the heaviest published weight of these five for three tools, which suggests thicker steel or a denser handle, though neither is described. What it never mentions is storage of any kind.

Its size field is the oddity: it reads 10, with no unit and no second figure, on a set whose bullets describe three blades. Read beside the bullets it is clearly the largest blade in inches, and it is the sort of field that cannot be used as a measurement. Nothing else on that listing gives a dimension to check it against.

One Blade, Described Properly

Ateco is the single tool here and the best documented blade. The listing states a tapered ground stainless steel blade for even flexibility, a natural wood handle, a blade attached with two sturdy rivets, and the blade measured at 1 1/4 by 7 5/8 in. Its dimension fields add 13.0 in for the whole tool at 0.16 lb, the lightest figure on this page.

None of that includes a hole. A wooden handle with two rivets and no hole is a tool that lives in a crock or a drawer, and since the listing publishes no washing instruction either, the rivets and the wood are both left to the owner’s judgment. It is the pick to add to a set rather than the one to start a set with.

What Hanging Actually Requires

Provision Without Hardware

Three listings publish a hole and none of them publishes its diameter, so the decision a buyer actually has to make cannot be made from the listings. A hole that takes a cup hook will not take a rail hook, and a wooden handle drilled near the end behaves differently on a bar than a plastic one drilled through the middle. All three describe the feature and none describes the fit.

Nor does any of the five supply hardware. Awpeye’s parts list runs to four blades and three scrapers with no hooks. LEGERM and MCSDFN name the hole and stop. That means the hanging provision on this page is a hole and an intention, and the rail, hooks or pegboard are a separate purchase the listings never acknowledge.

Wood, Rivets and the Missing Wash Line

Three of these five publish wooden handles and none of those three publishes a washing instruction. Awpeye names natural wood, LEGERM names wood with a hole, and Ateco names natural wood held by two rivets. A drilled hole in wood is also a place water sits, which makes the absence of a drying sentence more noticeable on a hanging set than it would be on a plastic one.

The two sets that do publish a wash line are the two without wood in the description. MCSDFN states dishwasher safe and TACGEA states top rack dishwasher safe, and neither names a handle material beyond calling it non-slip. So on this page the washing guidance and the hanging provision sit on opposite sides, and only MCSDFN publishes both.

Which One Fits Your Kitchen

A rail with room on it. Awpeye, four blades at 4, 6, 8 and 10 in with total lengths from 7.5 to 14.6 in, three plastic scrapers and a hole in every wooden handle, at 0.57 lb. No washing instruction is published.

Three sizes and one hook. LEGERM, blades at 6, 8 and 10 in on wooden handles with a hole the listing calls out for storage, at 0.45 lb. Its only other figure is a package measurement, so treat the set by its blade lengths.

A small kitchen with a dishwasher. MCSDFN, two blades at 6 and 8 in, a hanging hole in each handle and a stated dishwasher clearance. It publishes no weight and no dimension, so nothing else about it can be checked.

Three blades you will machine wash. TACGEA, 6, 8 and 10 in of rust proof stainless with non-slip handles, top rack dishwasher safe, at 0.71 lb. Nothing about hanging appears anywhere on the listing.

One good blade to add. Ateco, a tapered ground blade published at 1 1/4 by 7 5/8 in on a riveted wood handle, 13.0 in overall at 0.16 lb. No hole, and no washing line for the wood or the rivets.

What We Could Not Verify

Each of these is a question the five listings leave open.

  • The diameter of any hanging hole, on the three listings that publish one.
  • Whether the three Awpeye scrapers can hang, since only the blade handles are described as drilled.
  • Any blade thickness figure, which none of the five publishes and which decides how the blade flexes.
  • How Awpeye, LEGERM and Ateco should be washed, on three sets with wooden handles and no wash line.
  • What the TACGEA size field of 10 refers to, since no dimension fields are published beside it.
  • Any weight or dimension at all for MCSDFN, whose listing publishes only two blade lengths.
