Lamson Metal Spatula Slotted Turner - 3' x 6" Stainless Flipper with Walnut Handle, Left-Hand - Chef's Frying Fish Turner, Metal Grilling Spatula

I have three of these and love them. The shape, angle, and size is just perfect. It's also made in the USA and better quality than a similar Miu France one that I own, which I later found out was made in China. "France" is just part of the brand name... Hahaha. I first purchased one from William Sonoma. Then got two more from Amazon. Can't tell them apart. I really wished these were available in a non-slotted/solid version because I cook exclusively with cast iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel cookware and use these turners for everything. But there are some foods that just work better with a solid turner than slotted ones. I will keep purchasing this brand and recommend to others. And I will keep my fingers crossed that they will offer a solid version in the near future. 2 things to be aware of: 1. This is a metal turner/spatula. Metal spatulas are not for nonstick, ceramic, coated, or delicate surfaces. Metal spatulas will irreparably damage those surfaces. I won't even use this on a ceramic coated cast iron. Please choose wood, nylon, silicone utensils if you own pots and pans like that. 2. These come in wood and a composite handles. I got the composite, which is like nylon, because I like the durability and the fact that I can put them through the dishwasher. You have to take care of wood handles to make them last. Nylon handles are practically indestructible except they are susceptible to heat. The nylon handles CANNOT be leaned on the side of a hot pan, not even for a quick second or it will completely melt. I say this because I melted one accidentally :( My own fault. Don't say you weren't warned... Other than that, enjoy spatulating and flipping your food like a pro!

Very well-made spatula. The wooden handle stands up very well to the dishwasher. The full tang construction provides plenty of strength & durability. The high-quality steel still looks great after use and cleaning in the dishwasher.

Versatile across a broad range of foods, permits dextrous primping of food in the pan and possesses an edge that easily lifts food from the pan.

I love that is for left handed people. Much easier for me to use. Great quality

This is now my favorite turner/spatula for lifting, flipping/turning food! This Lamson Chef’s turner is on the far left in my photo next to my other spatulas for comparison. This turner is longer and narrower with a full tang to add strength and durability. It has a slight bend to enhance it’s lifting ability and flexibility. This turner replaces a more conventional flexible blade spatula that broke where the top joined to a long handle. My other spatulas are: 1. A fully rigid (one piece stainless). My husband likes this one for turning hamburgers; 2. Two all metal spatulas of different sizes that are too flexible due to very thin metal. I rarely use them; 3. A too thick spatula due to silicone covering- that makes it challenging to lift food completely. Perhaps, if I owned non- stick cookware, it might get more use. This made in the USA Lamson Chef’s turner hits the “Goldilocks” sweet spot—not too rigid, not too flexible—just right! The top edge is beveled to make it easier to get under food without leaving a layer on the pan for all types of food. I use it in cast iron or stainless steel pans, as well as stainless and aluminum cookie sheets. I still use an all wood spatula for stir frying. My only suggestions to the manufacturer would be to burnish the wood handle a little smoother (it is not uncomfortable, just a personal preference), and to check that the metal edge by wooden handle is perfectly smoothed. (My hand does not touch this area and it is only a minor cosmetic blemish that I fixed on my own). I would purchase this again for myself, a relative, or for a gift.

Not as flexible as it needs to be. A bit clunky to use in my opinion

Well made and great performance

Bought a $9 fish spatula. The tapered front was not tapered and it was as thick as any traditional dollar store spatula. So I splurged and got this Lamson, though I was skeptical of the price. Spatula arrived flat (no curve or bend). However, I immediately noticed how thin this was compared to the cheap one. It had some give while still being stiff enough not to wobble all over. So, using pictures on the website, I used the edge of my hand as a fulcrum point and applied gentle pressure. Now it has a nice, slight curve and easily scoops under, and holds what I need to pick up or flip. Pictures will show the bend I added, the thinness of the spatula, especially the tapered front, as well as the handle which has a full tang and tight rivets. I cannot comment on the durability of the Lamson fish spatula, as I have only just received it and only used it twice. But so far, it seems ideal for general purpose lifting and turning. It's not a smash burger spatula, but I have a cheap, flat top spatula for that anyway.

Purchased this recently after some browsing on amazon at turner/flippers I'd thought would be practical for general purpose use. Eggs were what I wanted it for initially and a small cast iron pan which is just large enough to cook an egg for toast is what I wanted it for. It sounds like I could have chosen any number of turners for the job but I wanted something built well, of good material (like the pan), and narrow enough to be able to slip under the edge of the egg in the outermost circumference of the bottom of the pan. Many other "fish turner's" look nearly identical to this one in the pictures, I knew it would do what I wanted and its apparent craftsmanship is excellent, so I spent the extra to buy it and don't regret it. Looking forward to cooking many big omelets, as well as cracking extra yolks to do some double-yolk over-easy eggs in the little cast pan as well as countless other tasks in the pan and out on the grill in the spring.

The best! Great turner.

Love it to scrape bottom of cast iron pan.

My son in law loves it. It’s what he picked as a birthday gift.

Me encanta, es bonito, súper práctico y cómodo. No me preocupa que me lo quemen, como tantos otros mangos de plástico. Sí salió muy popular en la casa y lo usan todo el tiempo, de tanta lavada ya se siente áspero, así que de vez en cuando le doy una repasada con aceite mineral que tengo para tablas de picar y madera en general. Si tienen aceite de linaza hervido, creo que le haría mucho bien.
