Areaware Spatula

Because this spatula is made from hand-forged steel, it is not recommended for use on non-stick pans, as the metal edge can scratch or damage delicate coatings. It is best suited for cast iron, stainless steel, or carbon steel cookware.

To keep the walnut handle in good condition, avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Simply hand wash the metal portion, wipe the handle clean with a damp cloth, and occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil to maintain the wood's luster and prevent drying.

No, this spatula should be hand-washed only. The combination of high-heat water and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can damage the natural walnut handle and potentially affect the finish of the hand-forged steel.

Thanks to its hand-forged steel construction, this spatula has a substantial, balanced weight that feels sturdy and reliable. It is designed to provide enough leverage for flipping heavier items like burgers or steaks without feeling overly cumbersome.

While it is robust enough for heavy-duty tasks, the edge is precise enough for lighter work. However, keep in mind that because it is a rigid, hand-forged turner, it lacks the flexibility of thin silicone or plastic spatulas, so it may require a bit more finesse with very delicate items.
