WÜSTHOF Gourmet 6.5" Offset Slotted Spatula,Silver/Black

This review is for WÜSTHOF Gourmet 6.5" Offset Slotted Spatula Silver/Black. I have two of these now, and I have been using them for years. This is the best spatula that I have ever used. It is very sturdy and thin. It is very easy to get under any item that you are cooking, even foods that are stuck to the pan. Food also slides off without a problem too. The of the spatula is tapered, so I have even been able to cut items in the pan while cooking too. Admittedly, this is an expensive spatula, but if taken care of it, it should last a lifetime, so I was willing to invest in it. There are some alternative brands out there that do almost as good for a significantly lower price though. Originally, I had just one of these, but there were a number of times where I needed two, so I purchased a second one. Side Note: Since this is a metal spatula, you should never use it on non-stick cookware. You need plastic spatulas for those.

Very nice and I've seen it recommended on several cooking sites. I just can't believe I paid the price for this. The good thing is it works well and is a one time purchase.

Good quality. This is my second Wusthof spatula. They last long, and are perfect for all-purpose cooking.

As advertised. Great turner. Flexible and does everything I wanted it to do

This has become my absolute favorite kitchen tool and I use it for so many things (more than fish). It feels as flat as paper and seemingly can get under anything. Pancakes has especially become less of a chore. But it works in concert with cast iron beautifully. I know they say not to use metal on cast iron but—where's the lie? it performs. This particular spatula is excellent and I bought it because of the reviews from a popular and well regarded culinary kitchen tool reviewer (this site won't let me say it). However, one slight issue is that rust has formed where the blade meets the handle and the manufacturer never really got back to me to explain or correct it. It doesn't seem to affect the performance and it is a very small spot, so I will let it be and report back if it becomes an issue. I felt a little guilty for the indulgence of this price, but I reach for it every time I turn on a burner—and cooking is such a pleasure why wouldn't you want to taste what you can create with the best tool possible?

Great spatula, quality construction. Strong but flexible, sharp narrow blade tip for getting under food. Strong enough to do some light scraping. One downside: the handle plastic does melt somewhat easier than I'd like. Don't leave it on the hot edge of a pan, or you'll get a melt spot.

Never thought a spatula could make such a difference. Have used to cook delicate white fish and it makes it so easy to lift and flip. Although not intended, also used for pie slices and once again doesn’t disappoint. Dishwasher safe and easy to clean. Worth the money.

Very high quality. Great for frying fish. No plastic to worry about.
