Generally, it is divided into wooden spatula, iron spatula, stainless steel pot spatula and plastic spatula according to materials. There are also traditional spatula, flat spatula, leaky spatula and so on.

Extended data:

Stainless steel pot shovel is the safest product among many scrapers. The melting point of stainless steel pot shovel is very high, so you don't have to worry that too high temperature will deform stainless steel pot shovel and release toxic and harmful substances. In addition, the research shows that the contents of trace elements such as iron, chromium and manganese in food cooked with stainless steel tableware are higher than those in other foods cooked with spatula.

However, the content of these trace elements in ordinary food is extremely low, and the human body will not synthesize them by itself, but can only obtain them from external food. If the human body lacks one or more trace elements, it will be harmful to health. Therefore, the rational use of stainless steel pot shovel is beneficial to human health.

Cooking with a plastic spatula or direct contact with oil is not recommended. Because the boiling point of edible oil is above 300 degrees, most plastics have melted at this temperature, and the decomposed chemical components will dissolve in edible oil for a period of time, which will endanger people's health if eaten for a long time.
