Very disappointed Kitchenaid fan. This spatula is not only too large and poorly balanced, but also broke recently when dealt some routine cooking abuse. Snapped right at that pretty narrow neck. Futhermore, the plastic handles are not heatproof like the silcone, so if you leave it leaning on the pan or the stove, it will melt. What's the point?

The blade is unusually thick for a turner; if I have a slick and greasy pan I find it difficult to get it under the food instead of just pushing it around. And when the pan isn't slick, the extremely soft and flexible edges become a disadvantage, as they're not good at scraping off anything that's really *stuck* to the pan.

It does clean up easy, and it doesn't yet show any signs of wear, I just don't find it especially effective to use.

What a mistake KitchenAid made when they designed this turner. The balance is very poor. If I'm not very careful the darn thing falls out of my small fry pan every morning unto the floor. It's too thick and can't get under food. I'm looking for a new turner.

I like this spatula okay, although I agree it's poorly balanced. However it is good for cakes and such. I don't like it on eggs because the eggs stick too much to the silicone.

I agree with the other reviews that the turner is poorly balanced, but I've been using mine for over a month now and it is my favorite spatula - NOTHING sticks to it. The tip is thin and sturdy enough to make fried eggs and other delicate foods. I would give it 5 stars, but the weight took a few days to get used to.

I bought this spatula/turner because I trusted the KitchenAid brand name. They may make great mixers, but not spatulas. I have used my spatula for turning pancakes, eggs, etc. The plastic has melted at the tip (and on the bottom near the tip) and it's too thick to really be of much use. Don't waste your time or money on this product.

I ran it through the dishwasher and put it away. The next time I used it, I applied a little pressure to scoop something out of the skillet and a bunch of trapped water ran out of the hollow handle and into my food. I think the dishwasher filled it up with water.
Too bad because I generally have a high opinion of Kitchenaid.

I'm not happy with this turner. It isn't versitile and won't handle most of the food I would use it for. I chipped the edge the second week I had it, which renders it even less usable. My cheap stainless steel turner with a good edge that I got 30 years ago is a lot better. I am sorry I bought this one, and won't be ever buying another one. Wasted my money.
