Choose a one-piece silicone spatula to avoid water getting trapped in the handle
Pick an all-silicone (one-piece) spatula so it doesn’t come apart and trap water between the handle and head.
Some spatulas separate where the handle meets the silicone head, allowing water to get inside during washing. A one-piece silicone spatula avoids that issue.
The short version
- Avoid spatulas that come apart if water gets trapped in the joint.

What goes wrong
Using a two-piece spatula that separates and traps water

Use the small feed-tube drip hole for slow, controlled liquid addition
If your food processor pusher has a small hole, use it to add liquids slowly (e.g., for dressings) while processing.
Use the correct pusher size so the ingredient fits the feed tube (and pushes safely)
Choose the feed tube insert and matching pusher that fits your ingredient so it feeds straight and your hands stay away from the disc.
