A spatula is a common cooking tool used for flipping food in a frying pan. It has a flat, usually squarish piece of plastic or metal on a straight handle. It can also be called a tosser, turner, flipper, or fish slice. Some spatulas have slots or holes for draining food, while others are solid. There are variations of spatulas made of pliable materials for mixing and scraping bowls of batter. Kitchen spatulas have handles that are long enough to keep the cook’s hands safe and rigid enough to control the food. The blades of spatulas need to be flexible and thin to safely turn food. Spatulas can be made of metal, plastic, wood, or heat-resistant silicone. They come in different sizes, with shorter blades for small items and longer blades for larger pieces of meat or fish.
