The CARGO kitchen spatula doesn’t give up easily. It only loses its shape at around 250°C – until then, it stays perfectly flexible. Spread toppings, smooth dough, frost cakes, or scrape and lift – this tool was made for action.
The German verb “verspachteln” amusingly means both to plaster and to eat greedily. Which makes sense – because this spatula can do both: smooth surfaces in the kitchen and shovel food with the same ease.
The name CARGO reflects its true purpose: carrying. From lifting food out of a pan to moving pastries off a baking sheet, this spatula handles every culinary load with elegance.
And while it may not win you battles in the kitchen arena, its design roots are clear: the word spatula comes from the Latin “spatha” – meaning sword. A sword had to be many things, but flexible was certainly not one of them. Here, flexibility is exactly what makes the difference.
With a non-slip TPE handle, polished 18/10 stainless steel blade, and two handy hanging holes, this spatula is both practical and stylish. Designed by Axel Wowereit, it combines modern form with everyday function.
Because in the kitchen, flexibility isn’t a weakness – it’s power.
