Dexter-Russell S8696 Hamburger Turner

The blade is stiff and rigid, which is ideal for flipping heavy items like thick burger patties or steaks without the blade bending under the weight.

No, you should hand wash this turner. The rosewood handle can crack or warp if exposed to the high heat and moisture of a dishwasher, and the wood finish will last much longer with simple hand washing.

The offset blade keeps your knuckles away from the hot cooking surface and allows you to slide the turner easily under food items without hitting the edge of your pan or griddle.

Rosewood is a durable, dense hardwood that feels great in the hand, but like any wood handle, it may eventually dry out. You can keep it in top condition by occasionally applying a food-safe mineral oil.

While the stiff stainless steel blade is sturdy enough to handle some scraping, it is primarily designed as a turner. If you do use it to scrape, be careful not to damage the handle rivets or the edge of the blade over time.
