When combined with my OXO non-stick pans, this nylon turner is great for all but the heaviest of jobs. I've used it for eggs, fish, veggies, nuts but not for heavier items like meats. It easily slips under items to be turned and is large enough to accommodate almost everything. I like that the handle is not too long so I have control over what I am turning. It also stays cool nicely and washes well, with no hidden crevices that make it hard to clean.
