How do I use the tools for best results?
• Use the **solid spatula** when handling foods that need support — e.g. rice, sautéed vegetables, seafood.
• Use the **perforated spatula** for foods where you want excess oil or juices to drain — e.g. burgers, fish.
• Use the **chopper / scraper** to dice ingredients directly on the griddle, or to scrape off stuck bits during or after cooking.
• Work flat and keep the utensils nearly parallel to the cooking surface for better control and minimal damage.
• Use both hands (especially when hot) and make sure to clean off excess residue during cooking to maintain tool performance.
How should I clean and maintain this toolset?
• Though stainless steel is durable, hand washing is recommended for longer life (warm water, mild soap).
• Avoid harsh abrasives or scouring pads that could scratch the surfaces or degrade finish.
• Dry immediately to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Inspect periodically for bending, loose handles, or signs of wear — replace any compromised parts.
• Store in a dry place, ideally hung or laid flat so the tools remain straight and undamaged.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Versatile set tailored for flat-top / plancha cooking
• Three complementary tools: one for flipping, one for draining, one for dicing / cleaning
• Durable stainless steel build
• Ergonomic handles for comfortable use during long cooks
• Helps maintain and clean your griddle during cooking
Limitations / cautions:
• Stainless steel is not nonstick — food may initially stick until the griddle is well seasoned
• The tools are only as good as the user’s technique — misuse (prying, scraping too hard) can bend or damage them
• The chopper / scraper end can scratch delicate surfaces if used improperly
• Because the tools are flat and long, they require adequate clearance and storage space
• Handles may heat under extreme high heat conditions — use care or heat protection
