Mixing implement (7)
I believe the answer is:
spatula
'mixing implement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for spatula that I've seen before include "Tool with broad flexible blade - alas, put away" , "flat mixer" , "Thin tool for mixing or spreading soft substances" , "Thin-bladed kitchen tool" , "Food turner with flexible blade" .)
