Chef Craft Heavy Duty Turner/Spatula, 13.5 Inch, Stainless Steel

I have been using this spatula for a few weeks now and it holds up and works well

I’m really happy with this spatula. It feels well-made and very sturdy, which is exactly what I was hoping for. My husband loves the 13.5-inch size, which fits perfectly in his hands and makes flipping bigger items a breeze. I prefer the 10.5-inch version, so I ended up ordering both sizes, and it’s been great to have options.

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.

PERFECT!

I cook with stainless steel pans and need a stainless steel spatula not just to flip things over, but to scrape the browned parts off the bottom of the pan -- plastic ain't gonna do it. The crazy thing is, 99% of spatulas out there have a rounded front instead of a flat front, which makes scraping take a lot longer (less contact).The good news: there are 2 spatulas in existence on Amazon that are stainless steel with a flat front:Chef Craft TurnerGood Cook Classic Pancake TurnerSo I bought them both to see which one is better. (They're only spatulas, after all!) And the verdict is:The Chef Craft Turner is sturdy, a steel tank of a spatula. It has a strong handle and feels like it will last for decades. But it has two cons: first, the spatula itself is noticeably thick. So it's amazing for scraping off the pan, but if you need something thin to slip under a delicate pancake, you may have issues. Second, the front of the spatula is slightly angled. I don't know why, but this bugs me. I'm right-handed so it works, but not everyone is.On the other hand, the Good Cook Classic Pancake Turner is thin, lightweight, and almost flimsy-feeling. (It's also half the price.) The good news is, the spatula itself is thin, thin, thin -- if it doesn't slide underneath your delicate pancake effortlessly, nothing will. (And the front isn't angled.) The bad news is: I wouldn't use it for anything more substantial than a pancake or a fried egg. Using it to try to scrape off the browned bits feels like it's going to bend out of shape at any moment. So there's a reason they call it a "pancake turner" specifically.Final advice: buy the Chef Craft as a general-purpose spatula for frying meat etc., but also get the Good Cook if you cook delicate things like pancakes and eggs.

Very nice for the reasonable price. I'd say light to medium duty (not for stirring concrete). I definitely like the flat bowl front - it helps with scooping more from the bottom of the pot. Non-magnetic, so it's probably a 200-series stainless steel. Just dry after washing and it should be fairly corrosion resistant. I doubt that it's 18/8 or 18/10 stainless steel (300 series), since those popular alloys are more expensive.

I bought this for my son in his new place. This spatula seems flimsy compared to what I already use. But it works.

Holding up well
