I have been threatening to latch onto a narrowish spatula-turner sans
slots or holes. Found one in supermkt WITH serrated edge on one side
AND the leading edge almost razor sharp - well, beveled to a fare-thee-
well. All for 4 bucks. I can almost prepare a whole meal with this
puppy. Sur la Table offered a spat for twenty some bucks - made in
Italy. Fuhgeddit.

What is it made of? Can you post a picture or a link from the
manufacturer so I can see it.

I had something like that years ago. Almost like
a wide chisel. It had a short handle, and not enough
angle, so it wasn't easy to use in a pot with steep
sides. I stressed it too much because of that, and
the handle broke off. I got another one, and it
happened again. I don't remember if it happened
a third time. That was my last spatula until a week
ago. I changed my habits to not cook stuff that would
stick enough to require a spatula.

A week ago, I was going to cook something I feared
would stick (fresh wheat gluten) so I bought my first
spatula in years. I was at the nearby Asian supermarket,
and I didn't see anything resembling a conventional
spatula, but there ones for a wok. For $3, I could
get one with the blade spot-welded in four spots to
the handle, or for $4 all formed from one piece. I've
had them break at that point before, so I bought the
deluxe model.

The fresh wheat gluten fried nicely without sticking
at all, and the wok spatula worked well. Unlike a
conventional Western spatula, the wok spatula has
a raised edge along two sides like a shovel, which
makes it easier to capture and hold small fried things.
It probably would not work so nicely with a big thing
like a fish fillet or hamburger. I was using it in
the same flat-bottom cast iron pot that defeated my
previous spatulae.

Stainless with plastic handle.

Just made a sangwidge - used it to flip the bean burger, slice the
roll, slice the tomato, and slice the sandwidge for gracious eating.
I expect a huge reduction in water usage now - ha.

I still have the tag. It's called the 'mini spatula'. The tag also
shows the name of

Bradshaw International
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730

#25800 which I take to be a serial number. Buena suerte.

Oh - made in China, of course.

Made me look to see how much my wife paid for me Pampered Chef one.<g>
Only $5.50.

Another one of those things that I chuckled when she bought it,
thinking it would be another useless tool cluttering up 'the drawer'.
Turns out I really like it-- especially when freeing lots of little
cookies from a crowded pan.

This costs more but nothing else I've used compares, I love it:

I paid $30+ for a similar tool by All-Crap, it sucks.

But Kalmia said it had a serrated edge. I've got something similiar to the
first posted description. On mine the blade is stainless, the handle is
wooden but it does have a serrated edge. I wouldn't call it a tool I use
for everything. It comes in handy if I've made a pan of cornbread. I use
it to cut and then remove a piece of cornbread from the pan. That's about
it.
