I don't think I've ever even seen a wooden spatula, and I don't see how you could make one thin enough to flip pancakes (or worse eggs) and it stay durable.

- Saline9515 2y agoIt's very common in Europe, I have several at home. If you properly wash them, there is no bacterial danger either.

- Moru 2y agoIt's a common thing in woodworking class at school. We have a spoon, butter knife and a cutting board made by our daughter. We also have a bunch of other wooden kitchen utencils since half the family works with wood on their free time... :-)

- astura 2y agoExcuse me? I find it hard to believe you've never seen a wooden spatula, it's like claiming you've never seen a wooden spoon. I use a wood spatula at home. I flip pancakes and eggs. I opened an incognito tab and googled "spatula" and this is literally the second result https://www.target.com/p/acacia-wood-solid-turner-brown-figmint-8482/-/A-87710887 https://www.target.com/p/acacia-wood-solid-turner-brown-figm...
- shiroiushi 2y agoOk, I think I've seen those before, but that looks too thick for flipping eggs or pancakes effectively.
- kazinator 2y agoYou can use a well made, smoothly polished metal one with round edges. Your eggs are not sticking to your non-stick pan, right? So you will never use any of the kind of force that will gouge the surface.
