Mercer Culinary Millennia Turner, 4 Inch by 2-1/2 Inch

I’m in love with this gadget. How I’ve survived all these years without one is beyond me! Great for outdoor BBQs. Top burger flipper!

Somehow I recently got the urge to start cooking meals with a cast iron skillet. Along with purchasing the skillet (a 10" lodge), I thought I might also need a spatula. I purchased a Mercer brand chef knife (Genesis) a few months back and have had a positive experience with it. When I saw that Mercer made these turners, I thought they would be a safe choice for my spatula.Indeed, the turner has been another positive experience so far. The handle is comfortable. The edge of the blade is thin enough to get under food but the blade also feels very sturdy. It is easy to clean. As far as the size, 4" x 2.5" feels about right for my application; anything larger might be hard to navigate around the skillet. I gathered that I should not use this to scrape the skillet clean because the stainless steel will remove seasoning. So for that I've been using a wooden spoon.One thing that would come in handy is a hole near the top of the handle for hanging. Aside from that nitpick, I have no complaints so far.

Excellent! I love this spatula or “turner”, whatever. They should call it the turner-scraper-flipper-fryer-chopper it does it all. I previously bought a set of spatulas that seemed like they were for a fry chef, they were too big, heavy and awkward. Then I found this beauty. It’s light weight, it’s durable, it’s the PERFECT size for my 10” cast iron, and the blade on the turner is sharp enough to make clean up a breeze and chop through that onion that ended up too big after I threw it in the skillet. I’ve put it through the dishwasher several times as I end up using it at least twice a day. It looks new every time. Get this you won’t regret!

Wish I could get a turner exactly like this one, but with rounded corners on the end. Suppose I could go at one on the bench grinder, perhaps.

Nice and solid.
