Know before you buy
The perforations allow excess grease, oil, or liquids to drain away from your food while you flip it. This is particularly helpful when searing meats or cooking items that release moisture, ensuring you don't transfer unwanted liquid to your serving plate.
Yes, the wood handle is designed to stay cool to the touch even when working over a hot grill or stovetop. However, you should avoid leaving the turner resting directly on a hot surface or in an open flame to prevent the wood from charring or drying out.
The 8-inch blade provides a wide surface area that is ideal for lifting larger items like pancakes, fish fillets, or burgers without them breaking apart. The 14.5-inch total length offers enough leverage to keep your hands at a comfortable distance from the heat source.
It is recommended to hand wash this turner. The wood handle can crack or warp if exposed to the high heat and moisture cycles of a dishwasher, so washing it by hand will help preserve the integrity of the handle and the finish of the stainless steel.
This turner is designed with a durable, relatively rigid stainless steel blade. It is built for stability and lifting heavier items rather than sliding under delicate foods like crepes, which typically require a thinner, more flexible spatula.
