Broil King Imperial Stainless Steel Super Flipper — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Broil King Imperial Stainless Steel Super Flipper?
The **Broil King Imperial Stainless Steel Super Flipper** is a premium, heavy-duty grilling spatula designed with an extended blade and strong construction for flipping large items or multiple pieces at once. It’s part of Broil King’s Imperial series of accessories.
What are its main features and specifications?
• Blade thickness: ~1.8 mm stainless steel for sturdiness and reduced flex
• Blade length: substantially longer than standard flippers, allowing you to flip more food at once
• Rigid shaft: box-shaped stainless steel to reduce bending under load
• Handle: resin or composite grip, often with ergonomic design
• Hanging hook included for convenient storage
• Overall length: typically around 18 to 20 inches (blade + handle)
How do I use the Super Flipper effectively?
• Slide the thin edge under your food items (steaks, burgers, ribs, large cuts).
• Lift and flip smoothly in one motion rather than jerky snapping to protect the food.
• Use its length to manage multiple pieces at once (for example several burgers) to save time.
• Use the hanging hook to store it conveniently and keep the blade protected when not in use.
How should I maintain and clean it?
• After each use, rinse off residue, then wash with warm soapy water (avoid harsh abrasive pads).
• Dry thoroughly — especially where blade meets handle — to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Inspect occasionally for bending, misalignment, or loosening of handle
• Store it by hanging (using the built-in hook) to avoid damaging the blade edge
What are its advantages and what should I watch out for?
Advantages:
• Large blade allows flipping more or bigger items
• Solid, thick stainless steel resists bending
• Suitable for heavy grill use and high heat
Considerations / cautions:
• Because it’s large and sturdy, it can feel heavier or less nimble for delicate tasks
• Avoid prying bones or overly heavy leverage — even thick blades can be stressed
• Be cautious with cleaning — don’t use steel wool or damaging abrasives on finishes
