OXO SteeL Lasagna Turner

Thin, so it slips readily under lasagna or burgers, and widened slightly toward its straight-edged end for stability, this spatula is useful for serving and cooking many foods. The handle and blade (5-1/2 inches long by 2-3/4 inches wide) meet at an angle, and the blade is flexible, giving the spatula maneuverability in tight spaces. Oxo's Steel line is an all-stainless-steel variant of the company's familiar fat-handled Good Grips line. Rather than being straight-sided, this tool's handle is tapered from heel to finger grip and has satin-finish, stainless-steel panels top and bottom. The handle's sides feature the same design as those in the Good Grips line--they're made of soft processed rubber for comfort, with "fins," or grooves, that flex under pressure, conforming to individual finger grips and providing control when handles are wet or slippery. Like all Oxo tools, this spatula is dishwasher-safe; a hole in its handle facilitates hanging on a hook or peg. --Fred Brack
