If you never got one as a wedding gift, get one for yourself now. You truly need this. Its ingenious design allows you to flip eggs or fish fillets with ease. I have even used the sharp edge to divide soft foods in the pan before flipping. The angled end allows for edging under a sticky surface with little fuss. The slots work two ways: obviously grease or water runs off in the transfer from pan to plate, but also they serve as a flat whisk when you want to deglaze a pan to create a sauce. It ticks all the boxes for a perfect spatula. The turner itself is strong but extremely flexible. [I learned the hard way that tempered and hardened high-carbon stainless steel makes a tool more durable and flexible. Anything less is perilous.] The “big toe” allows you to get into the corners of your pan for scraping and stirring. And, sorry Frenchies, you can’t beat it for turning crepes without a tear or a crease.
And now for the winner design: drum roll please. We tried versions made from silicone-based extrusions and found that they had neither the flexibility nor the thinness that made the traditional design so successful. It needs to be light weight,razor thin but sturdy enough to lift hamburgers and pork chops.
