Question: Can anyone tell me if water can get between the wood and the metal?
Document: So now the only problem is the gap due to the cut in the wood being a bit too big for the steel, leaving a small gap between the handle and the metal where the metal fits in the handle. That will eventually do the handle in as water sits in there after each washing.Too bad the manufacturer didn't spend a few minutes finishing this, but the material now feels really good so I've raised this from 1 to 3 stars.
While it is dishwasher safe, the heat and the chemicals will ruin the looks of the wood in short order. Same with letting it soak in water, especially if not oiled. Properly treated, this unit should look good and last for many years.Do yourself a favor, if you're looking for a good spatula or pancake turner, get this. You will love it.
This is just what I wanted. Trying to get rid of using plastic in cooking & storage. Also Teflon pans ... So now I'm using more cast iron, enamel and stainless steel, so I wanted a nice metal spatula/turner. The wood is very nice and I want to keep it that way so I hand wash it. At some point I might need to oil it. So far I haven't needed too.
Why does one get so hyped up over a spatula? I can't really understand it either, but this is the best spatula I have ever used. The metal is thin, so it slides under eggs and whatnot easily, yet it is quite rigid so it can be used to scrape metal pans and griddles. The wood handle is top notch and doesn't get hot easily, and it is a breeze to clean! I can't recommend this enough, unless you cook with teflon coated pans.
There are many five-star reviews for this, so maybe I got one that slipped through quality contol. But there are some basic problems that I did not expect from a higher-priced item:The steel only goes half-way up into the handle, and the gap cut out for it is a little bigger than the width of the steel, so water/food will be able to get stuck in the gap.
Sacred Tools are tools in my kitchen that no one but me is allowed to touch. They're my special tools for cooking and I need to be sure they don't get &#34;borrowed&#34; or used by anyone who doesn't respect them and care for them the right way. There really aren't that many that get put in the Sacred Tool space, but this is one of them.Spatulas and turners have always been a touchy subject for me.
But it is not priced that way. I can fix the finish problems with some steel wool, but the gap between the blade and the wood is not fixable and will cause the wood to go bad ealier than it should due to water getting trapped in the gap.Update after a few weeks of use:l I did take some steel wool to this and made it really nice with just 5 minutes of effort.
The sticker, as opposed to naturally being on the handle, was placed on the metal. When I tried to take it off, a large percentage of the sticky adhesive just stayed on the blade. I tried to clean it/get it all off, but some seemed to remain and I just don't feel comfortable cooking with it.Why would they put that sticker on the blade and not on the handle?
We use only cast iron for frying pans and having a good flipper is essential. We had some sort of flipper similar to this one but it was some off brand with a metal handle. We liked it but it fell apart. So i started doing some research online to get something quality. I came across this on amazon, read the reviews and decided to buy. When i got it i thought "This is too small".
Quality kitchen tool. The spatula is strong and flexible. Use it all the time. No gap between metal and wood. Recommended
Answer: Well, it hasn't so far but we haven't owed it very long.  We have a smaller one we've had for over 15 years and haven't noticed a problem with that one.  Don't tell anyone but I run them both in the dishwasher.
