Misen Fish Stainless Steel Spatula - Slotted Turner for Cooking - Perfect for Frying - Heat Resistant - Dishwasher Safe -1mm Thick Flexible Flipper - Soft Silicone Grip Handle for Easy Use

Until recently, I had not seen the need for a fish spatula. Now I get it. This spatula is much better than a standard spatula at getting under - and lifting cleanly - whatever I am frying. This is because of its design - a slightly bent and flexible yet strong blade, along with a sharp leading edge. The nonslip handle and light weight make it easy to control. This is a real plus when handling delicate items. I find there is nothing lacking with the performance and utility of this spatula. So, at just under $20, the Misen spatula is a real value.

Very useful tool and works great!

Very good product. Flexible enough to turn filets without destroying them.

Quality product the handle is comfortable and it feels sturdy

We have used a silicone edged spatula like this for years for many applications, from flipping meat/fish or pancakes to transferring cookies to racks for cooling. This design is durable, sturdy, and scoops items up smoothly without scratching non stick. When our old one gave out a year ago after a decade of use(and the older brand was no longer available), we bought the Misen. It is holding up great with frequent use, so we bought a second one recently for convenience(i.e. when pancake and egg flipping are happening at the same time). We use these exclusively with non-stick; this kind of spatula is not suitable for scraping stuck on debris from other metal surfaces. We choose to wash ours by hand in hot soapy water vs the dishwasher, cleaning carefully near the joint where silicone meets metal to prevent residue buildup. We paid a bit more for this brand vs others, but durability matters to us, and so far we've had a good experience with these.

Good product. Works well in any pan.

Nice spatula, just as expected. Flexible which is nice, great for eggs as well, over EASY!

Don't let the name fool you, this spatula is good for much more than turning fish. This is pretty much my go to spatula when frying. Its size and shape allow you to more easily get underneath foods in your frying pan to shift and turn them. The slots are far enough apart to allow allow drainage, but close enough together to flip most foods. I love the silicon edge. It allows me to use it on non-stick coatings without worry, and with the curved edges I can easily scrape food from the sides of the pan. I was a little worried about the silicon around the edges - how well it would hold up - but so far it has held up well. One thing that this spatula does NOT do well is scrape stuck-on food, but for that I'll use nylon or wood.

As recommended by America's Test Kitchen, this fish spatula has all the right features. It's smaller than others making it better for maneuvering. The diagonal leading edge has a thin thickness to allow easier access between the pan and food, The rest of the lower part is longer and is strong and stiff enough to enable lifting heavier foods. The handle is comfortable and nonslip, and is the right length to easily hold the spatula but not so long as to get in the way when using it in a deeper pan. Note that this particular version *does not* have the silicone covering on the leading edge, so if it's used with a nonstick coating pan, it needs to be used with low aggression so as to not damage the coating. There is a similar item with a silicone covering, but I would expect it wouldn't be as effective at getting between the pan and food, or that the silicone may become damaged over time. However, that's an opinion without direct experience.

The silicone around the edges doesn't stay on. This happened after only a few uses. Should have returned this. Would not recommend.
