What Is a Restaurant Spatula?

A restaurant spatula is a common term given to various types of food turners. Food turners can include a pancake turner, a fish turner, a hamburger turner, a steak turner, and more. Turners can be constructed of different materials, the most common of which is stainless steel because it is considered to be one of the most durable and heavy-duty materials.

However, it's important to remember that a metal spatula should never be used with cookware that has nonstick coating because the metal can scrape off the coating of your pan, which not only ruins the pan but can also serve to transfer harmful chemicals to the food.

In general, a restaurant spatula is mainly described as a cooking utensil that is used for turning food as it is cooked (either fried or grilled). A restaurant spatula usually features a flat flexible part at the end that comes in contact with the food, which is attached to a long handle that is gripped by the cook, chef, or food-service crew.

How Should You Choose a Stainless Steel Turner for Your Restaurant?

A good-quality restaurant spatula is excellent for use when cooking delicate food items such as fish, eggs, crepes, and other foods that can easily break apart when not properly handled. The right restaurant spatula will help your cook, chef, or any member of your food-service staff/crew to flip any of these aforementioned delicate foods with precision and ease.

An excellent restaurant spatula should feature a tapered or beveled edge that can be easily slid under fragile, thin, and easy-to-break food items. For use as a fish turner, look for a thinner-edged restaurant spatula because it will assist better in sliding under food items like fish fillets. A fish turner should also have upturned edges and slots.

A pancake turner, on the other hand, should possess a slightly wider blade as well as thin edges. This is because cooking and flipping pancakes can be a very challenging task - scooping up a hotcake or a pancake while avoiding breakage is one of the biggest challenges a trained cook will have to face. Your cooking crew, however, will certainly find it easier to flip pancakes when they use a pancake turner.

For hamburger turners, because hamburger patties can be fairly heavy, it is advisable for you to choose a spatula with a thick blade that won’t bend under a heavy burger’s weight. Also, it is important to choose a hamburger turner or grill turner with a handle that is long enough to give the cooking crew more leverage when working in a crowded kitchen or when cooking on a grill that is used simultaneously by many food-service staff in a confined or limited space.

Do you prefer a Dexter Russell turner? You can choose a Dexter Russell turner specifically designed for cooking and turning pancakes, steaks, hamburgers, and more. You can also choose a mini turner for smaller food items.

On the other hand, you can get a solid restaurant spatula or a slotted restaurant spatula from Browne. Both are constructed of durable and heavy-duty eighteen-by-eight mirror-finish stainless steel and feature a stay-cool tapered hollowed handle as well as a unique arc handle that allows easy pick up of food and reduces slippage. The full-size version of the former is more suited for use in buffet lines.   

Lastly, you can choose from Vollrath turners, which include beveled stainless steel turners, perforated turners, and a small-bladed turner
