The present invention relates to an improved spatula device. The improved spatula device is designed to be placed in a baking pan before baking a food item, and is used to remove a first piece of a baked product or any other food item easily and conveniently from the baking pan, without damaging or disturbing other food items. The device includes a spatula portion, an elongated handle attached to the top edge of the spatula portion, and a flat and planar working end in the form of a planar surface extending perpendicularly from the bottom edge of the spatula portion. A piece of the baked batter or food item can be lifted easily, without disturbing nearby pieces, by lifting the improved spatula device using the handle. The improved spatula device can be used with any oven and any pan in which a batter, such as a cake batter, brownie batter or cookie batter is poured into the baking pan.

A stirring implement includes a stirrer having a single stir rod defining a generally triangular shape at a distal end thereof, a rotating guide defining a slot, wherein the single stir rod of the stirrer is inserted through the slot of the rotating guide such that the single stir rod is positioned at an angle with respect to a planar surface of the rotating guide, and a lid releasably engageable to the rotating guide. The stirrer has a handle at a proximal end thereof and the handle rotates circumferentially beyond an outer perimeter of the lid. An apex defined by the single stir rod travels circumferentially along an inner wall of an outer perimeter of a container attached to the lid.

Implementations of a hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool are provided. In some implementations, the hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool comprises a handle for holding and using the hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool and a body comprising a plurality of surfaces and features configured to prepare food and to protect a user's hand while preparing food. In some implementations, a method for using the hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool comprises holding the hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool with the handle and using one or more of the surfaces and features of the hand-held multi-purpose kitchen tool to prepare food and/or to protect the user's hand while preparing the food.

The invention is an apparatus for removing leaves from the stems of herbs and spices. The device comprises a handle and a rake block. The handle is operably coupled to the rake block at a proximal end. The rake block has a first side and a second side. The first side of the rake block has a first set of teeth. The second side of the rake block has a second set of teeth. The first set of teeth and the second set of teeth are different shapes.

The present device is that of a spatula with clamp lever and is intended for use in the handling, cooking, and serving of foods. The apparatus of the present device is comprised of a spatula and a clamp lever that can be configured either as a permanently attached clamp lever or a removable clamp lever for use only when clamping is desired. The clamp lever itself comprises a clamping blade and a trigger, and is constructed as a single Class-I type lever where the clamping blade and the trigger are positioned on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis of the spatula. The trigger, actuated by the index finger in a finger-squeezing like motion similar to that of a pistol trigger, rotates the clamp lever about its fulcrum resulting in the clamp blade to move towards the spatula blade.
