Helen’s Asian Kitchen Bamboo Stir Fry Spatula and Cooking Utensil, 13-Inch

Many years ago my mother gave me a non-stick wok set. The wok didn't last long (couldn't take the high heat), but the two spatulas one solid, one slotted have been in use ever since. I used (and still do) them for everyday cooking as well as stir frying. They have been my go-to mixing and stirring tools. The shape is unique and perfect for scraping both pan corners (the "square" corner), and bowl bottoms/sides (the rounded corner). On a whim to fill out the new $35 free shipping requirement I ordered this item. It was in effect free. After using it month, I would order it on its own and pay the shipping if someone stole it. It is bigger than my original spatula and works beautifully. I have had no splintering, and is stronger than some of my steel commercial spoons for heavy batter or stews. Turned vertically in the body cavity, I used it along with a carving fork for stability, to transfer a hot 17 lb. turkey for Thanksgiving. And then beat mashed potatoes into submission with it. What else can I say: I Love It. And it is safe for non-stick.

Good size, a little bigger than expected. Very versatile and does the job well!

Excellent wooden spoon.

Nice wooden spoon/spatula to replace a generic one I've had for years. Good design, seems pretty sturdy after the first few uses. Beware though: I had to send the first one back to be replaced. When it arrived, the corner was already chipped and splintered. There was lacquer covering the chip, so it clearly happened at the factory and not during shipping. A replacement was sent the next day, so no harm done. Check yours carefully when it arrives; quality control might be an issue. Edit: Photo of damaged original and replacement attached for comparison.

I use it everyday. Works great for scraping out rice in a rice cooker. Bamboo is better than wood. Cleaner, safer, and good at not harbouring bacteria.

I bought this spatula in 2012 and the photos are taken in 2024. This spatula is made from real bamboo, no coating, it’s safe to use in high heat wok and remains sturdy after 12 years frequent usage. The only thing that not work well is the edge has became dull and it doesn’t have a curled neck so not easy to flip in deep wok like egg, so I sometime hold a pair of tongs in the other hand to help flipping, so no problem. Many spatula advertised as bamboo wood, they are not actually pure bamboo because bamboo is limited in size and shape, and some have shining coating don’t feel safe for high heat cooking. This simple yet genuine real bamboo spatula is highly recommended for high heat wok cooking, perfect for fried rice and stir fry dishes.

Perfect for our ceramic pan.

Good shape, but the wood was rough and felt like it would splinter. It didn’t feel like it had a coating on top or a glaze of some sort.
