10 Best Metal Spatula for Cast Iron: Expert Picks for Top Quality

Customer Review: Must haves if you have a blackstone type grill. The scraper was sharp and a time saver in cleaning the grill. High quality, sturdy, and easy to clean.

Customer Review: These are pretty nice. They work well for flipping burgers, fish, pancakes etc. They do not work well for smash burgers but only because it’s not thick enough metal to press down the meat. The scraper does a good job cleaning a skillet.

Customer Review: If you have cast iron skillets, you will love this spatula. The main reason I chose this one is the metal runs full length up the handle so there’s no chance of the handle bending or breaking off like the last few I tried. The metal is a little thicker and more sturdy so you can press as hard as you want… you can flatten hamburger into shape… and maybe the best part is the end and sides are sharpened so you can scrape any stuck food from your cast iron skillets. No need to scrub and damage the seasoning of your skillet. This spatula is very sturdy so you can flip even the heaviest items without it bending. The handle is secure and well made. Not loose like others I’ve tried. This is a better value and better quality than the one I paid over twice the price for. I HIGHLY recommend this spatula.

Customer Review: While the spatula was slightly larger than I expected I have been pleased with the quality and overall utility. At first glance I thought it would be too cumbersome to use in my pans compared to those I have used before, however it turned out to be just the utensil needed. Feels durable and well made, the edges easily slip under eggs, burgers, cookies, whatever is needed. Very happy with purchase.

Customer Review: If you want a sharp spatula this this is the one. Strong, sharp and durable. No wooden handles splitting. Nice set for the kitchen.

Customer Review: I like the silicone handles, which take the heat better than my previous restaurant-grade spatulas. These are definitely smaller than the restaurant-store goods. But still big enough for most anything I’m making. The “egg turner” is good for anything sticky and it can be used to cut soft food. The wide one is perfect for veggie burgers, potato pancakes, and like that. Sometimes I use the smashburger method on the veggie burgers – works fine.The only minuses – they are very minor. The egg turner wiggles a little bit in its handle. I wonder if they did that on purpose for some reason, because the handles of the wide one and the rectangular-shaped one are solidly on there. Also, compared to the restaurant-quality spatulas I have, these are not as perfectly rigid, and the steel isn’t as high-grade, though these are rigid and thick enough for almost everything I need them fore. The only exception is, because the handles are shorter than the restaurant-quality spatulas, these aren’t as good for reaching into the oven. Even with these minor criticisms, I still think it’s a five-star buy and I would buy these again.

Customer Review: I only use stainless steel pans and this turner is great! Easy to clean, super durable, nice heavy weight to it, not cheap or flimsy. Great value for the money. Makes flipping eggs over much easier than a plastic spatula. The handle length is great for grip. You can use this with a variety of foods no problem; eggs, pancakes, burgers, veggies. I would highly recommend this to anyone who cooks at home.

Customer Review: I now have a few of these. They have become my primary turning spatulas and are what I grab for burgers, chops, or anything else reasonably small. I rarely use non-stick and obviously wouldn’t use these with those pans. Unless I need a fish spatula or a particularly long one for an omelette or something, I tend to use these. They are well made and finished. Just be aware that the handles are not heat proof and will melt if leaned on the edge of a cast iron pan. One of mine has an indentation.

Customer Review: This is a very sturdy ladle! Good quality, good value for the money. It has a big enough bowl to get a good portion out with each ladle-full. It doesn’t get hot, so its easy to handle.

Customer Review: Great spatula. I recently switched over to stainless steel pans. This works great with them. Very sturdy. Blade is stiff, not flexible. Rubber handle is easy to hold onto. Steel is highly polished. No sharp edges. Corners are rounded. Size of the blade is just over 3″ wide and 4″ long. Exactly what you would expect from OXO.

Customer Review: These are made of thick metal and wood and are listed as 2-part design, but the metal runs all the way through the wood handle, so it’s more like 1-part and that makes them very durable. They are very sturdy and work well. Be aware that they have relatively short handles, but that actually just gives better control when flipping. The handle is surrounded by wood, so it doesn’t get hot while you are using it. I’m not sure if it’s dishwasher safe, but I don’t ever put wood in the dishwasher. They are easy to clean anyway. For the price, this is a great value. I think you could easily pay the price for just one of the tools, but here you get two.

Customer Review: Good spatula for portioning and serving from a pan of lasagna or brownies. Good cutting edge. Has a nice wooden handle , so I always hand wash instead of tossing into dishwasher. This spatula does not have a full tang- the metal comes about halfway down the handle and is secured with 2 brads. It seems sturdy enough for light to moderate use. I did purchase a second one for one of my sons, and he likes it too.

Customer Review: I bought this as a gift after a fair amount of reviewing other products – after a couple of months of use, we can give it high marks.My wife was primarily looking for something to use in cooking loose ground meat in cast iron pans, to make it easier to break into small uniform chunks. This excels at that use. It is sturdy and stiff with tapered edges to the blade that make chopping easy. It is exactly the right width to use the longer sides in a frying pan to break up a lot of material quickly, and it is long enough to use efficiently for mixing / folding ingredients together. It is made of heavy non-flexible stainless steel and shows no sign of rust spots (though we always hand wash and dry immediately, like all of our other steel kitchen tools.)To other low-rated concerns:Ours did not have any kind of sticker on the blade (stubborn or otherwise), though I am confident that green Scotch-Brite pads would have made short work of that anyway. They will abrade the steel itself – no sticker or glue would survive.The tang does not extend the full length of the handle, but it is properly engineered. If you’re putting enough pressure on it to risk bending it at this point, you’re using it wrong – get a different tool.Perhaps related, we do not make “smash burgers”, but this does not appear to the right tool for those. It is narrow and thick and stiff, more for chopping than compressing large burgers. I would think you would want something slightly flexible and somewhat wider than the burger.Ours has a handle that is clearly made of high quality (clear grain) hardwood and has a durable water-resistant finish. That said, we never put edged-steel or wood-handled kitchen tools in the dishwasher – wash them by hand!And while the edges of the blade do taper pretty thin to facilitate chopping, they are not what I would call “sharp”. If they’re too sharp for you, blunt them with sandpaper or sharpening stones. (Or in the other direction, I suppose you could actually put a real edge on them, though I’m not sure how well it would hold up, or how necessary that would be.)This is a high quality tool and I get thanked by my wife every time she uses it. Recommended without hesitation.

Customer Review: I’ve been using this now for about 4 years after I resurrected my cast iron skillet during the pandemic and started eating in more than wasting money ordering out. This has become one of my favorite kitchen items next to the cast iron skillet itself.Everything you could ever possibly hope to make at home but thought was too difficult/time-consuming/expensive is at your fingertips with this and a good cast iron. It’s durable to the point I’m pretty sure it will survive a nuclear blast, it’s kept enough of an edge to become my caveman chef’s knife to slice potatoes and chicken before and after cooking using the cast iron as the surface, and it’s so aesthetically fun to hold you’ll feel like you just slaughtered a woolly mammoth and are serving up its well-seasoned remains to your hungry family. I’m honestly shocked I didn’t review this years ago so figured I’d throw in my 2 cents and 4 years of me telling everybody I cook for who comes by “GOD I LOVE THIS THING”

Customer Review: Works exactly as we need it to! Sturdy and comfortable

Customer Review: Not sure what other reviewers were commenting on when they stated this Turner was good quality. Out of the box, I almost dropped it because the handle is hollow plastic and has such a smooth texture it’s slippery. It just doesn’t feel comfortable in my hand. It seems small, no grip, and too light weight. The stainless steel part is sturdy. However, I question the quality of it. Just seems to me a level up from being dollar store quality. For the price, it’s not worth returning. Will slip it in a house warming gift basket or something.UPDATE: 5/7/2018My original review of this item was in August of 2016. I was not impressed with the look or feel of this item at all and tossed it in a box of supplies I use for making gift baskets. Since I never did find a good quality turner and needed one desperately one day, I retrieved it from the box and started using it. That was probably 10 months ago and I’m still using it. I’m still not happy with the light weight feel and it could be a little longer but it has been doing a decent enough job. I’ll continue to use it but will hopefully find one that better fits my specifications.

Customer Review: {Dveracious Shopper:- Just so you know, My reviews won’t have fancy videos and photos sometimes but I post honest reviews based on the usability of these products and I did pay my own money to buy these products, so its not a free product review. I use it before I review it as I am committed to provide honest feedback based on the product’s usability} I love this fish turner as to how sturdy it is. We had a kitchen aid one but its handle broke so I was looking for something where the handle is not of different material. It’s great and sturdy. Comes in two sizes and is great value for money.

Customer Review: These spatulas are so beautiful and so functional. Since they are one piece of steel, you do not have to worry about the handle coming off like my old ones. I love these, and I will be buying another set.
