WÜSTHOF Gourmet 6.5" Offset Slotted Spatula

This review is for WÜSTHOF Gourmet 6.5" Offset Slotted Spatula Silver/Black. I have two of these now, and I have been using them for years. This is the best spatula that I have ever used. It is very sturdy and thin. It is very easy to get under any item that you are cooking, even foods that are stuck to the pan. Food also slides off without a problem too. The of the spatula is tapered, so I have even been able to cut items in the pan while cooking too. Admittedly, this is an expensive spatula, but if taken care of it, it should last a lifetime, so I was willing to invest in it. There are some alternative brands out there that do almost as good for a significantly lower price though. Originally, I had just one of these, but there were a number of times where I needed two, so I purchased a second one. Side Note: Since this is a metal spatula, you should never use it on non-stick cookware. You need plastic spatulas for those.

Can’t believe I’m singing the praises of a spatula of all things but here I am. I’ve used it in Misen stainless frying/saute pans and standard cookie sheets from Costco, and this spatula can really lift without damaging either the food or the pan. Definitely worth the money.

Why did a not buy this spatula years ago? So good for cooking fish, eggs, anything you might have trouble flipping. Especially good in cast iron.

My wife loves this thing. She'd seen it on a cooking show and remarked that it was the highest rated of all the spatulas they looked at. I bought it for her as a birthday gift, and it's a big hit. Who knew a spatula could be a big hit? Seriously, a spatula with the exactly correct amount of flex is the winning feature. It's not inexpensive, but if SHE loves it, then I love it. Happy wife, happy life.

This has become my absolute favorite kitchen tool and I use it for so many things (more than fish). It feels as flat as paper and seemingly can get under anything. Pancakes has especially become less of a chore. But it works in concert with cast iron beautifully. I know they say not to use metal on cast iron but—where's the lie? it performs. This particular spatula is excellent and I bought it because of the reviews from a popular and well regarded culinary kitchen tool reviewer (this site won't let me say it). However, one slight issue is that rust has formed where the blade meets the handle and the manufacturer never really got back to me to explain or correct it. It doesn't seem to affect the performance and it is a very small spot, so I will let it be and report back if it becomes an issue. I felt a little guilty for the indulgence of this price, but I reach for it every time I turn on a burner—and cooking is such a pleasure why wouldn't you want to taste what you can create with the best tool possible?

Very nice and I've seen it recommended on several cooking sites. I just can't believe I paid the price for this. The good thing is it works well and is a one time purchase.

I waited a long time to buy this spatula due to its price, but I love it so much I want to get a second one! The problem is that 6 months later the price has gone up $10!!! I have read about the handle problems with heat and fortunately have been careful with mine (fingers crossed everyone in my kitchen will be careful too!). The thin edge, flexibility and size make this superior to other metal spatulas. Hoping the price comes down again so I can get another.

great spatula, gets used multiple times a week

Expensive may it seem but it’s worth it. Makes your life in the kitchen enjoyable.

Worth every dollar. this is our go to use spatula. great in the kitchen and great to use on the BBQ. Great to have one very good spatula in the kitchen. I would recommend this one highly

Estuve pensando mucho esta compra. Principalmente por el precio. Además tengo unas 4 espátulas más, aunque ninguna metálica. La recomendaron en America’s test kitchen como la mejor espátula metálica. Lo que me convenció fue pensar que si realmente hace una diferencia, valdría la pena ya que es algo que usaría diario dos veces al menos. Y que si es algo que me va a dar un buen servicio por muchos años lo debo considerar al nivel de comprar un buen cuchillo. Llevo unos dos meses usándola diario y es mucho más de lo que esperaba. Ligera, fuerte, suficientemente flexible pero con la correcta cantidad de rigidez para separar los alimentos del sartén y su diseño es perfecto para voltear esas comidas complicadas. Solo tener mucho cuidado al usarlas en superficies de refilón pues las va a rayar si aplicas fuerza. Yo uso principalmente sartenes de acero inoxidable, acero al carbón y sartenes de fundición (cast iron-Lodge). Para estos es perfecta. Totalmente recomendable. Usarla es un placer.

A very superior fish slice Good balance Strong, but fine metal. Great shape for functionality.

I got another flipper before this. It was too delicate for even flipping fish or steaks. This one is really strong. I use it on a stainless steel pan. You can use this confidently
