SPATULA
Here’s how to use a spatula to turn food while cooking (such as grilled cheese sandwiches, hamburger patties, chicken breasts, pancakes, and other meats). I assume the pan has heat resistant handles and doesn’t require potholders. ______1.
Get food. Get spatula. Get the food to be turned and a clean spatula.
______2.
Hold spatula. Using one hand, hold on to the handle of the spatula.
______3.
Hold on to pan. With your other hand, hold on to the pan and keep holding it until you complete step 5 . This makes sure the pan is steady and safe.
______4.
Careful! Slide spatula under food. Carefully slide the spatula under the food you are going to turn. Make sure to slide the spatula completely under and not just a little bit under.
______5.
Careful! Flip spatula and food. Quickly turn your wrist so that your hand with the spatula flips and turns the food over on to its other side into the pan. This requires caution and a lot of practice.
