IKEA GUBBRÖRA Review (Australia): A Bowl Scraper With a 70°C Limit, Now on Last Chance

A$1.50 buys a 25 cm silicone scraper that IKEA rates only to 70°C, which makes it a bowl tool rather than a stove-side spatula. In Australia it comes in black and white, marked last chance.

THE SHORT VERSION

GUBBRÖRA makes a case for reading the care line before buying by material. It looks like the silicone spatulas sold for hot pans, yet IKEA Australia's page states it withstands temperatures only up to 70°C. Buy it for bowls and use something else at the stove.

Australia sells it in one colourway, black and white, as article 205.273.55, not the green and white of the US listing, and the page marks it last chance to buy at A$1.50. Neither the price nor the label changes how it should be used; they only mean that if it suits you, the time to pick one up is now.

Our verdict

A low-cost scraper for bowls, batter and other cool mixing jobs within its 70°C rating; skip it as a general stove-side spatula.

A good fit for
Someone who needs a simple scraper for bowls and mixtures and will keep it away from pans hotter than the published 70°C limit.
We would skip it if
You want one tool for frying, stirring a simmering sauce or melting sugar, all of which exceed the listed 70°C maximum.

Reasons to consider it

  • A$1.50 keeps a single-purpose purchase modest
  • A soft, bendable silicone blade that IKEA says is safe on non-stick surfaces
  • Dishwasher-safe, with a hanging hole in the handle

The compromises

  • The 70°C ceiling rules out most stove work
  • It looks like heat-rated silicone spatulas, which invites the wrong use
  • Marked last chance to buy, so a matching replacement may not be there later

What we have not verified: IKEA does not publish how stiff the edge is, whether the joint between blade and handle stays clean after many dishwasher cycles, how strong the handle is, or how the blade behaves near its 70°C limit.

The things in this guide

A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.

IKEA GUBBRÖRA Rubber Spatula
A scraper, inside its temperature range

GUBBRÖRA Rubber Spatula

Suits mixing bowls, batter and icing, where a soft 25 cm silicone blade fills an actual gap among your tools.

Before you buy: IKEA lists a 70°C maximum; do not borrow another silicone utensil's heat rating for it, and the black/white version is marked last chance.

Price checked 5 November 2026. Retailer prices can change.

The 70°C rating is the first filter

IKEA Australia lists a silicone rubber blade, an ABS plastic handle and a care line that reads: dishwasher-safe, withstands temperatures up to 70°C. That is about the temperature of very hot tap water, and it belongs to this exact article rather than to silicone utensils in general, many of which are sold for far hotter work.

So the recommendation is narrow on purpose. Anything involving a hot frying pan, caramel or a simmering sauce needs a utensil whose own instructions cover it. A familiar shape is not an operating range, and the handle, not only the blade, is part of the rating.

Buy it for the bowl you actually use

The listed length is 25 cm, and IKEA describes a bendy blade for scraping ingredients out of bowls and containers, spreading icing on a cake or sauce on a lasagne, and working on non-stick surfaces without scratching them. Those lines identify the intended jobs. They do not establish that the blade reaches every corner of a particular bowl or flexes the way you like.

Picture the vessel you reach for most. A narrow jar, a wide mixing bowl and a tall food-processor jug each reward a different blade. One scraper that gets where you need it beats a drawer of them bought because they were cheap.

A simple tool still needs a cleaning routine that works

IKEA marks it dishwasher-safe, which settles the method, not the outcome. The seam where blade meets handle is where batter collects on tools of this shape, and how it looks after fifty cycles is not something the page addresses. Check it after the first few washes, and if residue stays in the joint, switch to washing it by hand or retire it.

Returns are hardly the point at A$1.50, but the rules are the same as for anything else from IKEA Australia: unopened within 365 days for a refund, opened within 60 days for store credit based on condition. A spatula that has been through the dishwasher is opened and used, so treat the purchase as final.

A narrow role can still be worth A$1.50

If the scraper you own already works, keep it. This one earns a place when a specific cool job has no suitable tool and 25 cm suits your bowls. It is a poor candidate for the utensil jar beside the cooktop, where its 70°C ceiling is easy to forget halfway through cooking dinner.

Conditional approval, then, for that defined task. Poor flexibility, a seam that holds batter or a mismatch with your bowls would each end it. And because IKEA Australia now marks the black and white version last chance, buy a second one now if you know you will want a spare.
