Mercer Culinary Hell's Handle Heavy Duty Turner/Spatula, 5 Inch x 4 Inch

I was looking for a heavy duty spatula to make smash burgers as I'll I tried were too whimpy (pun intended!) and bent when I tried to press the burgers flat. These are very heavy duty and up to the task. They are a bit pricey but I'm a firm believer in the "buy once. cry once" philosophy. I highly recommend these and have convinced several friends to buy them as well.

Great, solid metal and heavy duty.

Got this to use with my blackstone griddle. I have some official blackstone turners and wow what a night and day different in terms of quality. This Mercer turner is sturdy and definitely meant to last. I can smash a burger patty without worrying about bending the metal. My blackstone turners are flimsy and if I tried to smash a patty the metal would definitely bend at the handle.The edges are beveled making getting under the food much easier. I’ve had no issue handling the turner in high heat. Just a great turner for griddle use.Obviously you get what you pay for. These Mercer turners aren’t cheap but I can see them lasting a lifetime. I plan to get other variations to complete my griddle tool set. Definitely recommend.Update: added to my collection and bought the grill scraper. Very sturdy with no flex what so ever. The scraping edge has a nice bevel to it. Not obvious in the product pictures but the scraping edge is not squared, instead it has a slight angle to it. I initially thought the scraper was defective until i searched for pictures online and it appears the angle is purposely made...perhaps it helps to scrape better?

I was a little reluctant to get this - thought it was a little pricey, but man, it is a great product. Very thick handle and will not bend. Perfect for making smash burgers! It's wide enough that the burger won't mush out on the sides. And it has a very nice finish to it - shines almost like a mirror. Nice sharp beveled edges all around. Turn it upside down and use it as a scraper as needed (e.g. scraping a smashed burger from a hot cast iron cooking surface so the burger comes off without leaving behind any of that charred burgery goodness). Just a no-nonsense kitchen tool for serious cooks.

This is strong and sturdy. Great handle and metal is not flimsy. Works great on our flat top and seems like it will last many years.

Great for a grill or cast iron. Definitely will elevate your smash burger game. No need to have a burger press. This piece is extremely well made, has a great weight to it, and feels like it's built to last. Happy I purchased.

This is definitely a sturdy utensil. I bought it for lasagna, but it would probably be better for just flipping burgers / use on a restaurant grill. It's large and beautiful, but feels too large and heavy in the hand for serving lasagna. It goes through the dishwasher just fine. High quality, but a little pricey.

This is a serious spatula - I use it on my cast iron and its doing the job very well. Nice tapered edges are great for scraping the bottom of heavy duty pans. NOT designed for non stick or delicate cookware. I cant comment on its durability but its got a full tang and simple comfortable grip and you can apply some serious pressure if you want to press something like a burger or chicken or whatever!
