This is called a "fish turner" because it can get under delicate fish and turn it without breaking it up. I absolutely love mine and use it for so many things like pancakes, eggs, bacon, cookies, for lifting cakes, and so on. It is very thin and flexible so it can get under those things that want to stick to the pan and pull them right up without damaging them. I use mine with my cast iron and take it with me when we go camping. These make great gifts for those who love to cook. Good tools make cooking fun!
