OXO Good Grips Silicone Flexible Pancake Turner

I use an electric crepe pan for things like quesadillas, grilled sandwiches and pancakes. This is perfect for those - no more using two fish slices / spatulas any more to turn things. It's flexible when I press down on it, but I don't use it that way. It's something you notice when you shake it - it sort of wobbles up and down. I suspect the pancake or whatever would fly off when it's not in contact with the cooking surface. The wobble doesn't get in the way, though. Where it is less useful is in a fry pan or sauté pan with a relatively small bottom. At its widest, it's 15.5 cm (6 inches). Which leads me to the last point. Parked in my utensil holder it makes the normal sized version look tiny. It's so large it makes me laugh every time I look at it. Worth it for ... MoreI use an electric crepe pan for things like quesadillas, grilled sandwiches and pancakes.

Really liked the idea of this spatula and it works really well for turning all sorts. But beware! The black section of the handle is plastic not silicone. I rested the spatula on the frying pan for a few seconds and the handle section started to melt and stick plastic to the edge of my frying pan. Not too serious as it cleaned off when the pan was washed. Nevertheless and inconvenience - why not make the handle section of silicone too so that this cannot happen. Therefore only two stars from me!

My only criticism of this item is that when you wash it in the dishwasher or with washing up liquid the silicon takes on the scent of the cleaning product. I guess it might be good to wash it without using a product but I'm quite lazy. This is the second one I've bought. The first one lasted nine years before the top fell off. I think that's pretty good going given that we put it in the dishwasher and used it several times a week. Definitely recommended if you need a large spatula
