OXO 1130900 Turner Stainless Comfortable Reviews Summary

Design and Functionality

Pros:

• "This is the perfect spatula not only for fish but for grilled items, turning over roasted vegetables, flipped pancakes and more."
• "Long enough to completely be under entire piece, so makes it easy to pick up fish. Thin so able to easily slide between fish and pan to not damage fish."
• "The thin front edge slides right under the tender fish."
• "Great for eggs over easy. I use it in a non-stick pan with no fear of scratching the pan's surface."
• "This thin turner with a beveled edge really lets you get in under the food and off the pan."
• "It's large enough to pick up and easily flip all meat and veggies on a grill."
• "This fish turner gets under and turns the burgers without losing any crust or breaking the delicate thin burger."

Cons:

• "The only problem I have with it is that the shank could be a trifle longer."
• "The only drawback I notice is the rough edges found on the ends of the wire handle."
• "One caveat: the stainless steel blade is quite sharp... it leaves scrapes and scratches on the finish."
• "I really like Oxo products in general, and I was ready to like this, too, but I cannot recommend this spatula because there seem to be finishing issues on its edge."
• "The fish spatula is much thinner, and sharper on the edge than a regular spatula, so it makes it much easier to separate the fish from the pan without tearing it up."
• "It's a pain taking it in and out of the drawer or crock because the handle grips to all the other utensils."
• "The handle (front and back) looked like it had been damaged or was a 'factory second' quality product."

Size and Handling

Pros:

• "This little baby is so easy to use and get great results."
• "It's easy to use and clean and reasonably priced."
• "It quickly became my go-to spatula for almost all of my cooking."
• "It feels great in your hand and it's not cumbersome."
• "The lengths of the metal part and the handle are perfect."
• "Because the head is so long, I can easily reach the back burner w/o getting too close to hot foods cooking on the front burners."
• "The handle is comfortable and secure."

Cons:

• "This is twice the size in every dimension as my other fish spatula--way too big for an 8-inch pan and takes up a lot of space in a drawer. Super giant."
• "It's still too long and had the shoddy spot welded construction."
• "I was shocked at how big it was when it arrived. Maybe okay for grilling, but too big for convenient use on a cast-iron pan."
• "It's wayyy bigger than I thought."
• "These are wonderful fish turners. I've had mine for many years and they've held up so well, I purchased some for a friend who's learning to cook."
• "OXO grips are great but when I ordered this spatula I didn’t realize the sheer size and potential awkwardness of it."
• "This size is too big for me."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "This is sturdy, long and strong."
• "Well-made, and easy to clean and store."
• "Kept it's shape and hasn't missed a beat throughout- cleans up perfectly and looks new to this day."
• "This fish turner is great for more than fish. Good grip and sturdy construction and ease of use makes it a winner in my book."
• "The stainless steel construction of the fish turner is of premium quality, ensuring its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion."
• "Many uses and solid, built to last."
• "This is simply the best spatula I've ever owned."

Cons:

• "I didn't give it a five star for sturdiness because it doesn't feel really strong."
• "We have a lot of OXO kitchen products we bought 15-20 years ago. They are all still in use and in great condition. I figured this spatula would last longer than year, but it did not."
• "It's stiffer than others, but just as thin, plus it's comfortable and shaped right."
• "I am a chef and this is not made to last and it's also very big."
• "The turner 'blade' is merely soldered onto the handle - not riveted in place as I would have expected."
• "In a restaurant setting it will break eventually."
• "The back of the fish turner was not flush, leaving two sharp metal pieces on the bottom that wasn’t safe for our little one as a finger could easily be cut from how sharp the back was."

Compatibility and Versatility

Pros:

• "I love this fish turner. I use it for almost everything in the kitchen and nothing has gotten stuck."

• "This spatula is very versatile. It is great for turning eggs, flipping pancakes, and getting cookies off cookie sheet."

Cons:

• "As Asian, I stir fry a lot of dishes. I bought this because American test kitchen’s recommendation. However, This spatula doesn’t have the angle between the handle and the flipper, so it make it hard to stir food in the pan and wok."
• "It's not designed for a lefty at all."
• "I wish it came in a safe for teflon version, but I've been using lightly even in my nonstick pans because it's so handy."
