I've been searching high and low for an all stainless, nonslotted wide turner and the only one I can find is a Williams Sonoma for about 35 bucks. I have various other turners, but they either are nylon, the head is too long, or have holes or slots, or have no holes but the head is too narrow. Granted, I would use the thing seldom, but it seems to be a grand desire of mine to own such a tool.
I did see one in a closeout store, but it had a plastic type handle. I've burned a few of those on the edge of a hot pan, so that's out.

Tell me there are better things to spend 35 dollars on.

Go to a restaurant supply store. They have tons. All different sizes and kinds.

OK, yer nutz! But I want one, too.

Bed, Bath, and Beyond had a nice one for about $7.95, but not in every
store, and I keep getting chased by the ridiculous lines, I don't need
one that bad. The nice, cheap Oneida stainless servers seem to have
been deprecated, and I don't see the one I'm talking about now on
their web site.

There are nylon ones good for 400f, and silicone ones good for 600f,
everywhere for about $12.

There are better things to spend 35 dollars on. But on the other hand, if you want it, get it. You only live once. Get that shiny silver spatula in your kitchen ASAP.

I have silicone too - but they are too wimpy to get under some things.

I also looked in Chef's Catalog - they advertise one by Cuisinart, but no reviews.

If you do it will be the last turner you'll ever buy! You willhave and
use it for years! The glass bowl lid that I just broke was from a
glass bowl I've had and used for 30+ years! :-(

If it is the one you really want, splurge and get it. Once in a life is
all you need for something like that. There is no substitute for
quality tools that do the job.

I looked on their site and I see this for $12:

I'm sure you could find something there or elsewhere that doesn't cost
$35. But hey, if it won't break the bank and will make you happy, just
buy the darn thing.

I have one that I got from my mother and it's practically my best
friend. I think you're right about a restaurant supply store. A
quick Google turned this type up, but I don't know how flexible it is
- I like a little give to mine.

Would help to know what you are going to use it for:
First place to look for anything is at Amazon, if they don't have
it... probably doesn't exist... pick, choose, and refuse:

Hey - that's probably the one for me. I searched under 'turner', hence didn't see what they term a spatula. We won't argue definitions here - I'm just glad to see one for that price. I don't mind the open handle at all. Thanks.

I notice there are other choices on the right hand side. From $35 for
the H-R model to $6 for the ???? choice. Gee, I wonder which is
the better made turner. Duh.....

I have a wide turner, entirely of stainless steel, that is flared at the
bottom. It's made for stir-frying, but it might serve your purpose.
Look into stir-fry turners.

Oh yeah, that's a nice one alright. It reminds me of my ink knife when I was a printer. I'd like a spatula that's flexible like that.

I like this guy's technique. He uses the underside of the turner.

dsi1's view outside of Hawaii seems to be pretty limited. I think it's
safe to say most people in the US don't cook things like mac & cheese
pancakes. Then again, he likes cold rice squares made with Spam wrapped
in something like octopus skin. I'll pass on all of the above.

I think you're calling it right - but what a way to go! :-)

Mr. Shopsin's pancakes are famous but he makes a few other things - there's somewhere around 900 items on his menu:

We have a dog like that. It's an English cocker spaniel/border collie mix. Smart as a whip. The dog lives with my son. Those are the best kinds of dogs. :-)

Update: I decided not to screw around with mail-order. I found a serviceable stainless turner at Publix, 4.99. Hecho en China, of course. Yeah, the handle is a hard substance like bakelite, but it'll do. I guess the handle material was not that vital to my mental health to fuss further on this purchase.

Nice BOGO today - Quaker Oats plain old rolled oats. I save the round containers for baked goods Xmas gift giving. Slap on some gift wrap, ready to go.

Shock price of the day: 21.99 a lb. for red grouper.

I find all my nice spatulas at the Goodwill. Modern ones are crappy
for the most part.

If you really want a brand new, all steel one, I don't think $35 is too
much to pay if you're not into digging around in the cooking utensil
bin at the thrift store. Then again I found my ultimate heavy duty
chromed brass wine opener at the Goodwill - nobody even makes such a
thing out of super heavy duty brass any more. It's either pot metal,
plastic, or very stingy thin and light "brass" that I am suspicious of.

See my update. I used my new one tonight, in fact. I think I may send the nylon ones to a Goodwill type place, as I rarely use a nonstick pan anymore.

How much did your brass wine jobbie cost? Can you even find a new one these days?

The wine opener cost $2. I have tried to find a new brass one but I
simply can't find one that seems like it is made of real brass.

I have broken two non-brass "metal" ones, as well as a "metal" garlic
press, in the course of ordinary useage. My wife thinks I am some kind
of ogre with a seething hatred for kitchen utensils but it's just the
really crappy construction of currently made things that is the problem.

We don't have any non-stick cancerware any more either, so we have no
use for plastic utensils any more.

I have had the Suzi (sp?) garlic press for over 20 years - works fine and does the job.

I bet 20 years ago they were making garlic presses out of real steel.
These days the metal of choice for cooking utensils is "pot metal"
which is just a random combination of low-value slags purchased at a
discount from refineries.

This is why I like to shop for older utensils at discount stores - at
least they used real steel and brass in the long long ago.
