Use a fish spatula to slide under delicate foods with less sticking

Use a flexible fish spatula (thin, slightly angled, slotted) to get under foods easily and reduce sticking when lifting.

The instructor likes fish spatulas for their thinness and flexibility, which helps slide under food. The slots reduce surface area contact, which can mean less sticking to the spatula.

The short version

  • Look for thin, flexible, slightly angled design.
  • Slots can help reduce food sticking to the spatula.

What you need

  • fish spatula
    optional
    Thin, flexible, slotted; consider left- vs right-handed angle

Why it works

/Thin flexible metal can slip under food; slots reduce contact area so food adheres less./
