The OXO pancake spatula has a thin, flexible edge that easily slides under a pancake. It is also perfect for flipping burgers, eggs, and much more. The spatula has slots where the fat can potentially drip through. The combination of stainless steel and flexible silicone not only makes the OXO Pancake Spatula strong, but also pleasant to work with. The spatula has a non-stick outer layer that is heat resistant up to 300°C. It is also dishwasher safe and easy to store thanks to the hole at the bottom of the spatula.
