FAQs
What makes this spatula different from a metal one?
The silicone exterior is gentler on non-stick surfaces and more flexible for getting under delicate foods without damage, whereas metal spatulas can scratch non-stick coatings and are less flexible.
What is the heat resistance limit for the silicone?
The product description indicates the silicone is heat-resistant for high-temperature cooking, but specific temperature limits are not provided. It is suitable for standard stovetop cooking.
Can I use this on a grill?
Yes, the heat-resistant silicone and sturdy core make it suitable for use on a grill, particularly for flipping burgers or other items.
How do I best store this turner?
The turner has a hanging hole and can be stored on a utensil rack. Ensure it is clean and dry before hanging.
Is the stainless steel core exposed anywhere?
No, the stainless steel core is fully encased within the silicone material, ensuring it does not come into direct contact with your cookware.
What are the dimensions of the turner?
The dimensions are approximately 31.7cm x 10.16cm x 8.25cm.
Is the grip really non-slip?
Yes, the turner features a soft, non-slip silicone grip designed for secure handling, even if your hands are wet.
Troubleshooting
Food sticks to the turner.
Ensure your pan is adequately heated and has sufficient cooking oil or butter. The silicone is non-stick, but proper cooking technique is still important.
Turner feels too flexible.
The flexibility is a design feature to get under delicate foods. For very stiff or heavy items that require significant leverage, a more rigid spatula might be preferred. Ensure the stainless steel core is intact for best support.
Silicone appears discolored.
Some strongly colored foods (like tomato sauce or turmeric) can cause temporary staining on silicone. This does not affect the performance or safety of the turner and can often be reduced by washing with a mild abrasive cleaner or soaking briefly in a diluted bleach solution (ensure to rinse thoroughly afterward).
