MANNKITCHEN Professional Grade Stainless Steel Spatula Perfect for Cast Iron Skillets and Flat Top Grills (MK21680)

I've been using this now for about 4 years after I resurrected my cast iron skillet during the pandemic and started eating in more than wasting money ordering out. This has become one of my favorite kitchen items next to the cast iron skillet itself. Everything you could ever possibly hope to make at home but thought was too difficult/time-consuming/expensive is at your fingertips with this and a good cast iron. It's durable to the point I'm pretty sure it will survive a nuclear blast, it's kept enough of an edge to become my caveman chef's knife to slice potatoes and chicken before and after cooking using the cast iron as the surface, and it's so aesthetically fun to hold you'll feel like you just slaughtered a woolly mammoth and are serving up its well-seasoned remains to your hungry family. I'm honestly shocked I didn't review this years ago so figured I'd throw in my 2 cents and 4 years of me telling everybody I cook for who comes by "GOD I LOVE THIS THING"

I bought this as a gift after a fair amount of reviewing other products - after a couple of months of use, we can give it high marks. My wife was primarily looking for something to use in cooking loose ground meat in cast iron pans, to make it easier to break into small uniform chunks. This excels at that use. It is sturdy and stiff with tapered edges to the blade that make chopping easy. It is exactly the right width to use the longer sides in a frying pan to break up a lot of material quickly, and it is long enough to use efficiently for mixing / folding ingredients together. It is made of heavy non-flexible stainless steel and shows no sign of rust spots (though we always hand wash and dry immediately, like all of our other steel kitchen tools.) To other low-rated concerns: Ours did not have any kind of sticker on the blade (stubborn or otherwise), though I am confident that green Scotch-Brite pads would have made short work of that anyway. They will abrade the steel itself - no sticker or glue would survive. The tang does not extend the full length of the handle, but it is properly engineered. If you're putting enough pressure on it to risk bending it at this point, you're using it wrong - get a different tool. Perhaps related, we do not make "smash burgers", but this does not appear to the right tool for those. It is narrow and thick and stiff, more for chopping than compressing large burgers. I would think you would want something slightly flexible and somewhat wider than the burger. Ours has a handle that is clearly made of high quality (clear grain) hardwood and has a durable water-resistant finish. That said, we never put edged-steel or wood-handled kitchen tools in the dishwasher - wash them by hand! And while the edges of the blade do taper pretty thin to facilitate chopping, they are not what I would call "sharp". If they're too sharp for you, blunt them with sandpaper or sharpening stones. (Or in the other direction, I suppose you could actually put a real edge on them, though I'm not sure how well it would hold up, or how necessary that would be.) This is a high quality tool and I get thanked by my wife every time she uses it. Recommended without hesitation.

This thing is awesome. Super sturdy. Makes fantastic smash burgers and flipping is a breeze. Definitely an upgrade over box store specials. Highly recommend. Does the job, and dishwasher safe!

Great for home or grilling. made of solid steel not the cheap ones that bend and flex. If your serious about cooking hamburgers, this is the utensil to buy.

Pretty solid. Not as sharp as I was anticipating. Solid handle. Maybe a little overpriced. Looks good though and flips well enough. I put a sharper edge on it but the shape and size is good as well as the thickness of the blade.

This spatula looks great and is the perfect size for using in the kitchen when I’m cooking up smash burgers or other food in a pan or on the griddle. It looks to be well made and I expect it to last a long time.

This is the katana of spatulas. Seemingly right out of the forge of samurai sword master Masamune, this is as much knife as it is flipper- think Benihana chef, lightening fast shrimp chopping, wrist flipping a sizzling morsel into your sea lion like gaping mouth - THAT kind of kitchen tool. Apparently made from the recycled armor of an M-1 Abrams tank, it’s long and shiny blade has not a millimeter of flex. This thing is stiff, unyielding, unrepentant. It’s right and proud of it. I’m sure the edge will have to be dressed on occasion (leather strop, sharpening stone, cold file) but out of the box it’s well suited for an appendectomy... razor sharp! If you beat this into the seam of your great grandmother Bertha’s cast iron skillet you’re likely to curl the edge... so don’t do that. The corners are thin because they are beveled both lengthwise and widthwise. They are the weak spot on the blade but the design provides tooled edging for slicing and chopping. Worth it! On my flat griddle it sails across the surface like Dorthy Hamill in Innsbruck in 1976. It glides effortlessly under egg and meat and veggie. Driving this baby takes some practice and you are very likely to oversteer at first. Take a few practice laps then give it the gas and enjoy the pleasure of it’s neck snapping acceleration and amazing cornering.

I love these for my cast iron pans. Incredibly sturdy. And I often leave it hooked right on the edge of my pan while cooking and the wooden handle keeps it from heating up. The edges are perfect in that they have been filed to be slightly rounded and not snag your pans. And the angle is perfect for just about everything. I own two and bought my mom one for good measure.

しっかりしていて、面も大きく、使いやすい！予想以上でした。

Handle is shaky ...

Das Geräte kam aus Amerika und hat es hat Wochen gedauert. Vielleicht auch durch Corona. Der Pfannenwender ist jedoch auch sehr gut verarbeitet, auch der Griff. Anschaffung lohnt sich.

This is a professional-grade spatula, and you feel it the moment you pick it up. Heavy-duty stainless steel, zero flex, perfect edge. If you make smash burgers, this thing is a weapon, it scrapes clean, presses perfectly, and gives you that restaurant-level sear every single time. But it’s not just for burgers. Eggs, steaks, stir-fries, anything on a cast-iron, this spatula handles it with authority. Balanced, durable, premium. Simply put: Top-tier. Elite. Built for people who take their cooking seriously.

Very sturdy and exactly the kind of tool you want to make burgers. Now all you need is a cast iron gridle and a good meat.
