Slotted Fish Spatula – Flexible Stainless Steel Turner with Walnut Handle | Right-Hand Chef's Frying and Grilling Turner, 3" x 6", Made in USA

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!

A must have for cast iron and stainless cookware. Very high quality. It's not cheap (there are way cheaper alternatives) but you get what you pay for and it's made in the USA.

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.

This spatula is perfect for eggs and so many other things. It has the perfect edge to get under whatever you are cooking. We have the plastic handled one from this maker but the plastic has melted when left in the hot pan, so we wanted one that we did not have to worry about that issue. It does mean that it has to be hand washed but that's not a big problem here.

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.

I teach a culinary class at a private high school. I have told all my students that when buying a turner/spatula to start with a fish spatula. A good fish spatula will essentially be the only turner you'll need. So the very first turner I bought was the Wusthof Gourmet Slotted Turner. I love that turner. It is my favorite turner and its the best one I've ever used. That being said it comes at a fairly steep price for a turner at $45 dollars. When I determined I needed a second spatula I decided to see if I could find a comparable turner made in the USA. This spatula is made in Massachusetts, not too far from me. That's a huge plus for me because I like to support the local economy and American jobs. I gave this four stars because its almost as great as the Wusthof one. 1. The rivets on this one do not hold the handle as tightly together as the one on the Wusthof handle. I like the feel of wood in my hand but the looseness of the handle I dont appreciate. Its bad enough to notice but not so bad I can't use it. Overall this is the worse thing about the product. 2. This one is about half as thick as as the Wusthof one. That is really great for trying to flip things like fish and eggs. The downside to how thick this is, is that it makes it a bit more flexible. So heavier things like large pancakes do provide a bit more of a challenge to keep the heavier items on the spatula without sliding off. Overall I prefer the slightly thicker Wusthof version, it tends to be more versatile. 3. Slots on this one are thicker than the one on the Wusthof version. To me that is a great plus. It adds to the sturdiness in desperately needs but also prevents smaller food from falling through. Overall I do prefer the ticker tines on this one than the Wusthof one. 4. The offset angle at the front end of the spatula on this one is not as dramatic as the Wusthof one. At first I wasn't sure which I preffered. Because prefer the Wusthof one overall I thought I might prefer its sharper angle. However, over time I have found that its steeper angle when up against the sides of a saute pan do require more dexterity. That being said I do prefer the less dramatic angle of the LamsonSharp. Overall I don't think I could completely replace my Wusthof one with this one but if they could tighten up the handle and stiffen up the turner a bit more, this would be a no brainer. The fact that it's made in the USA is huge perk for me. So all things considered, I would definitely buy this again and I do recommend it.

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

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.

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.
