Abstract
A bowl and spatula assembly provides an integrated spatula to scrape a mixture efficiently from a mixing bowl. The assembly includes a bowl having a bottom and a perimeter wall extending upwardly from the bottom. An arcuate spatula has opposite ends pivotally coupled to the bowl. The spatula also has an outer perimeter edge abutting an inner surface of the bowl whereby the spatula is configured for scraping a substance out of the bowl when the spatula is pivoted.

A bowl and spatula assembly comprising:
- a bowl having a bottom and a perimeter wall extending upwardly from said bottom;
- a top edge of said perimeter wall having a downwardly extending lip defining an opening in said perimeter wall, said opening being U-shaped and configured for facilitating pouring a substance out from the bowl;
- an arcuate spatula having opposite ends pivotally coupled to said bowl, said spatula having an outer perimeter edge and an inner perimeter edge, said outer perimeter edge abutting an inner surface of said perimeter wall of said bowl whereby said spatula is configured for scraping a substance out of said bowl when said spatula is pivoted;
- and
- a notch extending inwardly into said bowl from said inner surface of said perimeter wall of said bowl, said notch being positioned to support said spatula in a raised position within said bowl over said bottom of said bowl, said notch being positioned in downwardly spaced relationship to said top edge of said perimeter wall whereby said spatula is positioned proximate said top edge when said spatula is in said raised position.
