Review on Norpro 99 My Favorite Spatula by James Bull

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not Impressed - Review Update

I don't know if it's the heat or the little oil I use to brown overcooked potatoes, but the edges deteriorate and are less effective when put between the hot surface of the pan slip and in my case potato slices. After less than a dozen uses, I had to use a sharp knife bleach to shave off the damaged edge. I am looking for an alternative product. To update. My previous problem seems to be temperature related. When deep frying and frying potatoes and eggs, even on gas, it is difficult to keep the surface temperature of the pan below the maximum temperature this spatula is designed for. After repairing the heat damage on the spatula and lowering the cooking temperature below 350F, there was no more heat damage. It's more difficult to properly boil and fry the potatoes, and I had to go back to the wooden utensils to beat and boil the eggs. Nothing has changed in the rating and I am still looking for the best paddle for my purposes. But if you cook on medium-low heat you don't seem to have the issues I've had with this product.
