Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass® High Temperature Plain Pelton Spatula, Grey

We have been looking for one that was strong and not flimsy. This one is wonderful

it works almost perfectly, but, a lot better than any other one I've owned.

I am very happy with the Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass® High Temperature Plain Pelton Spatula so far. In the last few years, I have developed a sensitivity for the soap residue that tends to stick to silicone, so I was looking for a spatula that was not silicone and also would not scratch my pans. This Exoglass spatula works well for this purpose. I also like its rigidity, which is similar to my stainless steel spatulas. The one thing little thing that I don't love is that it's a little too big for a 8" skillet, but I can't find it in a smaller size. But for my larger frying pans and for my baking sheets, this is a great find!

We've been using this spatula for 8 years. It's never degraded. It's my favorite. I'm writing this review because I'm on here buying a second so I can throw away all my other terrible spatulas. You won't regret this purchase.

This is one of my favorite spatulas for turning foods like hamburgers. It easily gets under the foods and doesn't stick to them. I also like that it is all one piece so there is no place for food particles to hide. I have other spatulas that the ends eventually got rough and foods stuck to them. I haven't had that problem with this spatula.Update 03/18/15I find that I this spatula is becoming my "go-to" spatula for most jobs. It is flexible enough to get under foods in a pan with high sides, and stiff enough that the food doesn't weigh it down and fall off. It also has a good length so that it can be used to pick up fish fillets. Yet I can still use it to individually turn eggs when I cook as many as 9 in a pan. Better yet, it gets under the eggs and they don't stick to it. I would highly recommend this spatula.

This is a great, easy to use, sturdy spatula. It is almost exactly the right size for most uses. Works good for over easy eggs or for scrambling eggs. This replaces a "perfect" Farberware which finally broke after about 20+ years, Before I threw it away I measured it as it was the perfect size for me. This Matfer spatula is nearly identical yet different in some ways. The Matfer is "stiffer", yet has some springiness in the bottom end, the handle end is very stiff (that is a good thing), and it cleans easily in the dishwasher, one of my priorities. It may not be for everyone, but I would buy again.

It's early days yet to rate sturdiness, (a couple weeks about) but I can say that this spatula feels very sturdy. It has an angle at the front edge that makes picking up fried eggs easy. It is easy to hold. So far, it has not stained from use in hot skillets. (I have over time learned not to lean the spatula on the edge of the pan while cooking, so it's possible this one is just profiting from earlier, inferior, spatulas that got heat marks. But I beg leave to doubt it.)I recommend this spatula to people who are cooking with non stick skillets and want a good, reliable spatula for their eggs, pancakes, tortilla espagnola, etc. etc.

Hasn't melted. Used daily for 6 months now. Does not bend when hot either, and is nice and sturdy. Super minimalist and easy to clean. Also not made in China so automatic five stars.
