Heavy duty 420 stainless steel spatula made for commercial kitchen use but suitable for the home cook. A necessary addition to your collection of cast iron utensils. Excellent for use with larger cast iron skillets and flat top grills. Strong and non-flexible for heavy scraping tasks and smashing burgers. Flat beveled scraping edge for maximum edge contact ensures that even the stubborn bits of your hamburger releases from your cooking surface. Hardwood handle for comfortable grip and heat resistance. This spatula is designed with hardened 420 Stainless Steel and a precision ground flat scraping edge. These features are optimal for food release, and have the added benefit when used with cast iron skillets of smoothing the rough texture of your cooking surface over time. New Lodge skillets have a pronounced surface texture left over from the sand casting process. While a textured surface can be nonstick, a smooth surface is easier to clean and more pleasant to cook on. Over time, the MÄNNKITCHEN MK21680 will improve the cooking surface of your Lodge skillet, and any other cast iron skillet with a rough texture. The spatula handle is made of single piece of hardwood with a lightly tapered design for maximum comfort. The use of wood instead of plastic allows you to rest the handle on the rim or handle of your cast iron skillet while cooking without melting or burning. The perfect hamburger turner. Hand wash only.
