1. Spatulas
Spatulas usually have a long, narrow, flexible blade that is used to remove, mix and spread material such as batter or icing. The blade may be either flat or offset.
2. Turners
Turners have a wider, offset blade that has a specific flex point and is used for turning or serving food. They come in many sizes because distinctive food products (cakes, cookies, fish, hamburgers, pancakes, steak, etc.) have specific requirements for turning/serving. Blades are also available with perforations,
rounded or squared corners or beveled edges or may be balanced to keep the handles off hot grills.
3. Servers
Servers for pizza, pie and cake are size appropriate and flex in such a way as to maximize efficiency and presentation.
4. Spreaders
Spreaders are essential for fast food preparation. Plain edge blades are ideal for spreading condiments and other items. Scalloped blades provide the added ability to cut sanwiches, toast or bagels.
5. Scrapers
Griddle, pan and baker's scrapers serve various functions including cleaning grills and pans and cutting and spreading dough.
