The Side Spatula

Problem

Flipping pancakes isn’t an easy task. Modern plastic spatulas aren’t heat resistant, which may lead to undesirable consumption of microplastics, while wooden spatulas are often too thick and limiting in use due to their cornered edges and inflexibility.

Solution

The Side Spatula is a versatile tool that was designed for intuitive use and comfort. It allows seamless pancake and omelette flipping thanks to its extremely thin edge and steep upward slope, which prevents food from slipping off the opposite side. The curved corner is designed to fit into and scrape the sides of almost any pan, and the handle design provides a secure and comfortable grip.
