Maine Man Silicone Cooking Spatula | Flexible, Heat-Safe Design for Nonstick Cookware | Ideal for Mixing, Folding, and Scraping | Smooth Slotted Turner - Red

I've recently begun cooking using Lodge cast iron pans & was looking for a one piece silicone turner. I've seen fish turners before. But, I never bought one because I don't eat fish. But, I wanted something that I could use while browning hamburger or sauteing vegetables. I decided to give this a try & it is fantastic. My husband & I both find ourselves reaching for this utensil more than any other. I can get every little bit of sauted onions & garlic out of my skillets. I can scrape the sides of my pans much easier with this utensil. It's also sturdy enough to flip hamburgers & pancakes. I love the fact that it is one piece which is much more sanitary than the utensils that have handles joined to the end of tool. You don't have any food particles getting stuck in any nooks or crannies with a one piece tool. While I can place it in the dishwasher, I don't because I know I'd just have to pull it out & wash it before I'd need to run the dishwasher. I want it handy when I cook.

works very good for fried eggs some of the oil will drain off before I put on my plate

I used the same fish spatula for decades until it broke. So I got this one. It's nice and sturdy, but not super great at getting under thin/fragile food, which is what I primarily need out of a fish spatula.

This was a stocking stuffer for my uncle. I've been encouraging him to try new cooking techniques. He didn't have a fish spatula, everyone needs a fish spatula!! It easy to use and flexible.

I got a fish spatula exactly like this one in culinary school, from which I graduated in 2010 (enrolled summer '09), that broke about 6 months ago. My husband and I used it pretty frequently so we had to replace it right away and I was pleased to find that this one is a perfect dupe. I fully expect to get same/similar mileage out of this one (14 years for a spatula is pretty impressive, IMO). You could probably get even more if you don't put it in the dishwasher. The handle is wood, so you probably shouldn't put it in the dishwasher, but we do anyway because we don't have the kind of time to be hand washing every silly thing.

Love this silicone fish spatula! I have used it almost everyday since I received it a few weeks ago! May buy an additional one!

This spatula and its leading edge are thick, not thin, making it clunky for turning potentially delicate things like fish. I don't even like it for poached or over easy eggs because it's hard to slide it under the food. I already have plastic spatulas that are thinner than this slotted red one. I think it's durable and non stick and easy to clean, but perhaps better suited to turning grilled cheese sandwiches.

Works as it should and not expensive

A good tool, just not quite thin enough at the business end. I need something a little more delicate for lifting crepes away from the pan.UPDATE I've now used this tool more, and for everything other than pancakes it's the best thing ever. The shape and the curve make it very easy to move and control the food, just the way you want it. I'm adding a star to my review and I might buy another one...

It was a bit smaller than I expected. Due to the short length of the handle, you tend to grip it in a different way, sometimes I use a "pencil" type grip. I bought this as a multipurpose spatula, for frying (e.g. Eggs and meat) and it was good at that. But for stir-frying, and for cooking fried rice where you have to constantly stir, it was a bit hard to use. It was way too soft and the energy gets transferred to your hand and arm, I was sore after a while. So I reverted back to my stiffer turner. This fish spatula is well made and for its intents and purposes, (cooking FISH), it should be great, especially if you are using non-stick pans and you do not want to scratch them. But if you have stainless pans or carbon steel or something like that, you are better off with a steel spatula/turner.

Very, VERY well built. The metal blade is very stiff with no feelings of flimsiness. Wood handle is smooth and very well secured. Doesn't feel like the handle will ever come out of the blade or shed splinters.This is a surprisingly good mixing spatula. Useful for stir fries as well thanks to its reach. All in all one of my most used kitchen utensils. Definitely not for use on teflon, though.

Probably the most used kitchen utensil we've got. Has just the right amount of give while still being solid. The wood handle is great, though it ocasionally needs oiling if you want to keep it looking good. Phenominal value - simple and sturdy without the needless frills of many kitchen tools!
