Instructions

Step 1

1 Use for delicate items: The thin, angled metal blade allows it to easily slip under delicate food items without damaging them.

Step 2

2 Sheet pan cooking: Its surface area and flexibility make it ideal for flipping large batches of roasted vegetables like potatoes or Brussels sprouts.

Step 3

3 Baking delicate cookies: It can handle fragile cookies, such as shortbread or oatmeal lace, fresh from the oven without crumbling them.

Step 4

4 Flipping pancakes and French toast: The slight bendability and larger surface area provide a steady hand for successful flips of items like pancakes or French toast.

Step 5

5 Sautéing ground meat: The rigid metal edge is effective for breaking up ground meat while sautéing in cast iron pans.
