It's a multi-purpose tool. Kinda 'Swiss Army Knife' of the spatula world. It can also be used as a dining table, boat, cricket wicket, direction sign (something like a "Pancakes 'r' Us" advertising sign), and in a pinch, a conversation piece. Helluva handy tool.

We don't wave around hot griddles in my house, we use a metal spatula, though around here it is called by it's clinical name, a pancake turner. Mine was bought 30 years ago but is quite durable, made by Cutco.

Never had the nerve to try that non-spatulated pancake flip. My mamma always told me pancakes were for eating, not wearing.

Anyway, I prefer waffles.

I agree with Davetnova. Love to flip the pancakes without using a spatula. Helps to have a dog around for the misses.

No spatula is required for pancakes, only skill.
After initial confusion I have 2 spatulas, one of flexible metal, an heirloom from my mother and one of wood for the mixing of things. I also have 2 fishslices which are rarely used for fish as I like to grill fish. I aslo have one spade, one shovel, and a dust pan.
My cat is too civilised to need a poop scoop and although I possess a pasta poop scoop I have yet to find any pasta poop.
I nearly forgot I have a plastic ruler which makes an excellent emergency mixing spatula.
Emergency spatulas are something everyone should have knowledge of. Your omlette could be in severe danger otherwise.( This is not a threat merely advisory)

ah, Noreen, I used to live in Kansas, where the annual pancake race was regularly featured, since Liberal, Kansas has competed with Olney, England for many years. It looks like Liberal has won several in a row, and still holds the speed record!

Perhaps a prize of a new spatula would speed things up?

Ah, but you need the spatula to loosen the edges of the pancake before the spatulaless toss. Skill!

There's a guy in one of those photos flipping a pancake without using a spatula! Does the Spatula Union know about this? There's probably some little spat going hungry because that show-off is flipping his pancake directly in the air and bypassing spatulation.

We are rapidly approaching that day of all days for spatulas: Pancake Tuesday.

Spatulas all over the UK (and further afield) and buzzing in anticipation.

Definitely not a day for premature spatula.

Yup--that's what I was going to guess. Cooked elsewhere, with smoke. I use a Little Chief (Luhr-Jensen) top-loader. And if I remember, I spread a little oil on the racks so my spatula doesn't break up the fish that would otherwise stick when I try to remove it after smoking.

Cruelty to spatulas...

And if a spatula is used as a hook, surely it is no longer a spatula?

A cheap all-metal one makes a dandy over-the-door hook. Bend the spatula section to go over the door, then bend the tip of the handle end up as the hook. The spatula end does a good job of grabbing the surface it's hung over.

So yes, my spatula is hung over.

OK, I finally got around to taking inventory.

Of the pancake turner variety: 3 nylon, 2 stove-sized metal and one BBQ-metal.

Of the scraper variety: 5 rubber with plastic handles, 3 silicone with metal handles

Miscellaneous: 1 fish slice, 2 spoonulas (or is that spoonulae?)

And here's my favorite way to prepare salmon.
