Four Leaf Woodshop Cooking Spatula

This spatula is specifically contoured to match the curvature of a sauté pan. This allows you to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan more efficiently, making it better suited for stirring sauces, soups, and batters than a traditional flat-edged turner.

Absolutely. Because it is made of wood, it is gentle on non-stick coatings and will not scratch or damage the surface of your pans like metal utensils can.
