Victorinox High Heat Hamburger Turner 5″ × 4″ — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Victorinox High Heat Hamburger Turner 5″ × 4″?
This is a heavy-duty spatula (turner) designed for grilling and heavy use. It features a solid stainless steel blade and a high-heat handle to reliably flip burgers, steaks, or other grilled items.
What are its specifications and features?
• Blade size: 5″ long × 4″ wide
• Heat resistance: up to 450 °F (the handle and materials are rated for this temperature)
• Blade material: stainless steel, solid (non-slotted) design
• Handle: Ergonomically shaped, self-ventilated polypropylene or similar, to stay cooler over heat
• Overall length: ~12¼″ total length (handle + blade) in many listings
• Certification / listing: NSF certified in many vendor specs
How should I use this turner effectively?
• Slide the blade under food items with the beveled edge to lift without tearing.
• Use the generous blade surface for flipping larger items (burgers, fish, etc.).
• Because the handle is heat resistant up to 450 °F, it’s safe for use near grill grates or hot surfaces within that limit.
• Always lift the food fully before moving across the surface to avoid scraping or damaging your cooking surface.
How do I clean and maintain it?
• Wash by hand — avoid dishwashers if possible, as they can degrade the handle materials or fasteners over time.
• Use warm soapy water; do not use harsh abrasives on the blade or handle.
• Dry immediately to prevent water spots or corrosion, especially at the junction between blade and handle.
• Inspect handle and pivot area occasionally—if the handle feels loose, tighten or address screws or rivets as needed.
What are advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Strong, solid blade suited for heavy flipping and pressing
• Large surface area to support food items securely
• Handle designed to remain cooler under heat (up to rating)
Limitations:
• Handle temperature limit: don’t expose it above 450 °F (direct flame or excessive heat)
• Being solid (non-slotted), liquids or grease may not drain away during flipping
• Over time, plastic or composite handles could degrade if subjected to flame contact or misuse
