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. |
