My favorite spatula is also an Ecko, with the same black handle that you
mentioned. If it breaks, I will be in trouble, because it can not be
replaced. I clicked on the link, and this one comes closest to
resembling the one I have, at least in size. Every time I see kitchen
gadgets I look for a replacement, but they are all too big. For my own
personal use, a smaller spatula works better. When people are
visiting, I may be frying 6 eggs at a time, I do not want a spatula big
enough to flip a mastadon steak, I need something smaller. I am hoping
my spatula outlives me. :-)


Are we all freaks about our kitchen tools or is it just me?
