I am a professional recipe tester, so it is embarrassing to admit that I used a metal fish spatula for years as my contact point for almost everything. It is easy, has a thin, precise blade that can get under everything, and it is certainly better than bulky plastic spatulas. The only problem is that it is a bit big and a little too specific for daily tasks such as turning around grilled cheese or small pancakes.
When I discovered the cookie gymnast at Dollar Tree for only $ 1.50, I had to pick it up. It is elegant and high quality with a wooden handle and a precise, thin stainless steel blade. Don’t let the name “Cookie Turner” deceive a little power package of a spatula could be intended to become your tool for everything, from pancakes to sensitive fish fillets.

Why I love the cooking concepts of the dollar Tree Cookie Turner
It glides so effortlessly under food that I can easily raise the most sensitive objects without breaking them or tearing them off. It is smaller (the main blade measures a little more than three by two and a half inches), so it doesn’t work for a Spanish tortilla. This slight disadvantage in size means that I can easily maneuver it in overcrowded pans or places where I have to go under the whole to avoid a disaster, e.g. B. when dealing with a fried egg or a soft pancake.
Yes, it is great to push warm, sticky cookies from a hot baking sheet, but it is just as good to turn grilled cheese sandwiches, quesadillas and, as you could imagine, to smash meatballs and smash into smash burgers.
It is also the right size and shape to cut things like bars or fudgy brownies directly from the baking tub and serve, which means that an additional bowl is to wash.
The sharp (ISH), straight edges are also suitable for scraping up pen-on cheese, loose stubborn hash browns from the bottom of a pan or twice even as a mini bank scrap when I work with dough. I am not sure why I’ve been waiting for so long to buy a better spatula, but I’m glad I finally did it. If this were ever missed, I would go to dollar Tree and replace him without a second thought.
