I call it a fish slice

[Islay]

OK Mamya, but when I worked in kitchens they were called different things because they were different things

^That looks like the one that chuck norris probably uses cooking pterodactyl eggs in a volcano

[Mamyalynne]

I agree we all use terms loosely, I just say spatula but then am a simple home cook.

[Mamyalynne]

My daughter couldn't say it when she was small and called it a 'petula'.

[Manonfire45]

Top world class chefs such as Gordan, Heston and all the other ones call it by it's professional name "Spatula"

I would never dream of using a cheese slice on my eggs but would happily use it on my cheee.....Wait a minute, whathehellisacheesesliceusedfor???

[Islay]

Manonfire how do you know thats what GR and HB call it?

[Manonfire45]

A fish slice? I suppose you could use all of them, i have a cake slicer which looks the same

[Manonfire45]

Islay because i've worked with them at gr taste of christmas at London's Excel Centre a few years back

[Islay]

a cake slice looks nothing like a fish slice!

[Islay]

Lol of course you did!!!

[Prudie]

funny, a spatula to me is nealry always made of plastic, curved (so not good for getting eggs out) and has no holes in - unlike a fish slice (never heard of egg slice)

[Islay]

Prudie, just exactly the same as your egg slice - the holes allow for fluid to run off. I agree spatuals are what i use around bowls to scrape out.

[EcclesCake]

In that case manonfire, I must know you as I did work at that show and Heston didn't cook, he just spoke.

[Islay]

Oh BOOM Eccles!!!
