Fox RunChef's Stainless Steel Fish Spatula, Slotted Turner, Metallic

This review is for the large oversized rounded spatula.***** QUALITYOverall this spatula is thick and can hold a reasonable amount of weight. The stainless steel is not polished smooth. It has a brushed steel look. I would recommend to hand wash only. Not that it would rust, but a combination of some dishwashers/detergent can leave spots on this type of stainless steel.I am dinging one star because the handle could be of better quality. See photo 3. It is a type of low quality hard plastic that is on the cheesy side. As photographed by another reviewer the handle can easily melt if it comes into contact with hot cookware.***** BEVELED EDGEThere is not much of a bevel to slide under the object being cooked. The spatula is thicker than I expected. I did not notice a thickness measurement on the Amazon product page. A common thinner metal spatula does not need a beveled edge. I can understand the minimal bevel because due to the thickness of the metal. It would be sharp just like a knife if was made to easily slide under food.I believe over time this spatula will excessively scratch most home cookware due to the force needed to slide under the food being cooked. This spatula would be great for use on a BBQ grill of commercial kitchen grill. Other uses in the home could include removing large or wide cooked objects from a pan such as enchiladas, etc.For the beveled edge see photos 4, 5 and 6.***** MEASUREMENTSFor a breakdown of internal measurements see photos 1, 2 and 3.

I didn't buy this for cookies. I bought this for my work with COCORAHS. My previous spatula was plastic. I need one with a wide, and durable pad and well built handle when collecting core samples of snow and ice depths. My plastic one shattered this year. The reason? I moved from Washington State to Maine. We don't get frozen rain and ice storms in Central Washington very often. Maine has proven to be quite different.I spent a fair amount of time looking at different variations of ones with the needed specs for my purposes, and finally decided on this one. When I finally received it, I found the pad to be very durable. The pad's length is 8 & 1/8th inches while its' width is 6 & 1/2. Its' thickness measures in at 1/16th of an inch. The handle is full tang with three pins. Each is half an inch wide. The length of the handle measures out at 5 &1/2 inches, and at it's widest point, the end, 1". The handle is well built and fits perfectly in my grip.The one weakness I've found is the elbow. I have to be able to pick up more weight than a mere cookie quite often. I also need to be able to chip and dig with it when needed to clear snow and ice from the area I intend to collect my core from. The elbow often bends out of shape and doesn't take much weight for it to bend at all. If I were the manufacturer, I'd seriously consider thickening this area of the tool.I haven't tested it with cookies yet. I imagine my issue, given my use, wasn't in their thinking when they made this, so it wouldn't be fair to rap them for it. Finally, bear in mind I'm still using it; hence, my five star rating.

I bought it for turning pizzas in my Ooni, but the head is only like 6 inches wide. It may be good for pickup up meat out of the smoker, so I'll keep it.

Very strong and stiff. Not what you want if you expected flexibility. Seems high quality and expect it to last

I have a cast iron griddle and have been making large pancakes with it (I use a full ladle to pour the batter). I put two pancakes on the griddle at a time, and was looking for a spatula to turn the pancake. This item is described as "Perfect for cookies,cakes, small pizzas and pancakes", and so, I figured it would be great.I am not sure how people find this perfect for pancakes. For me, the spatula pushes the pancake across the griddle. If I were playing pancake hockey, this thing would be awesome. (Pancake hockey is where you push large pancakes across the griddle, trying to smash them into other pancakes or the end of the playing field/griddle).I thought that it was my technique, and that I needed to be more decisive in sliding the spatula under the pancake. So I tried a quick push and while I did not slide the pancake, I wound up wrecking it.So, I went back to being gentle. And the best way I have found for using this spatula is to use a wooden spoon to act as a backstop against the pancake. Then, the spatula slides right underneath the pancake, so that it can be turned easily.What I like most about this spatula is that if you flick it with your finger, it sounds like a tuning fork. Maybe it works better for "heavier" pancakes. In fact, I bet it would be just fine for a heavy pancake. Fortunately, my pancakes are very light and melt in my mouth. Unfortunately, this means I can't use a heavy metal spatula to flip them, unless I use the backstop.Edited: 6/26/14I have been using the spatula for a lot longer now, and find that it is doing a better job. If I had to guess, I'd say I was not using it properly earlier. If I press down harder on the griddle and slide the turner under the pancake, it does a much better job of getting under the pancake. This may be because the turner is "flatter" if some downward pressure is placed on it, so it makes it harder to push the pancake.Obviously, the pancake must be ready to turn for it be at its best. Sometimes a pancake batter bubbles nicely to let you know it is ready. But sometimes, when I make pancakes, the batter does not give such an easy "tell". I've found that when the pancakes do tell, they turn very easily with this spatula and it does indeed make it nice and easy to turn an overly large pancake. While big, it lays relatively flat, so if you have a drawer that does not have a silverware insert in it, it fits easily enough. You would not store with your silverware though, as it would not fit well with the drawer insert.

I bought these to use on the outside griddle. Works so well.Handle is big enough for a man's hand. Metal is sturdy.No regrets

Bought this for using my cast iron pan in general and making smash burgers. Plastic and silicone spatulas bent too much to really squish the burger. This works perfectly for cast iron and pressing meats.

This is good to lift pizzas off cooking stone ...A bigger one would be good but hard to handle...yes I like this one ...

Running a Café is always hard work, and omelettes can be a nightmare when you flip them over, this spatula solves that problem

Too bad about the finish wearing so quickly. It seemed very well made otherwise, so if you don't care about spotting on it it's a good spatula.

It's ok, good quality. It's a bit heavy than what I was expecting
