Kitchen Tools

Turners are very important in any kitchen.

If you are using stainless or aluminum pans, it is best to purchase only stainless-steel turners since they last longer. They will be more durable, so you can use them with your grill, too, but you can also use nylon turners with those pans too.

With nonstick pans, it is better to use nylon turners since they will not scratch and damage the surface. Nylon versions unfortunately get worn much faster and will need to be replaced sooner than stainless (when the front part starts falling apart).

I recommend owning at least one from each of the major sizes:

1. Regular turner with a short turning part (usually about square size) – for turning steaks and small objects (the overall length is usually about 12 – 14″)
2. Fish / Egg Turner with a long and skinny turning part, which is great for preparation of fish, eggs and any longer object.
