OT spatula
The old spatula I've used for years when frying has at last given up the
ghost. Trying to find a new one on line all I could find was a picture on Google with the caption "Antique cooking implement" Makes me feel old. David @ a warm and bright side of Swansea Bay PS I don't like the "plastic things. |

Avoid iroko, because it taints. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

They are very strong and also wash well in a dishwasher, which some of the older thinish wood ones didn't. I use them all the time now. -- Spider.

Would this one do? It has a _very_ thin leading edge. http://www.leevalley.com/US/gifts/page.aspx?p=62804&cat=4,104,53214&ap=6 They ship internationally. |

I did spend an hour or two on-line last night looking the best seem to be on Amazon but in the US of A and I'm not paying around £15.00 + almost £10 postage. Found one I really liked in UK but it was tangled up on the web page with a summer frock so I couldn't find the price, but I have ordered a stainless steel one for around £5.00 inc postage so I will see what it's like, It's already been sent. Thanks for all the ideas folks. By the way Martin I tried your link but it didn't open for me. David @ an overcast side of Swansea Bay |
