Expert Review and  Insights

In a professional kitchen, it’s often the small hand tools that make the biggest impact on a chef's day-to-day work. The Mercer GG735 isn't just a spatula; it’s a well-balanced, purpose-built tool. You can feel the quality straight away. The handle's heat resistance is a massive plus, removing that common kitchen frustration of melted plastic during a busy service.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Best Feature: The handle's high heat tolerance is a genuine practical advantage on a hot line.
  • Consideration: Its large, rigid head is less suited for very small, delicate pan work.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Seaside Grill Shack' in Brighton were constantly replacing their turners. The handles would melt after being left too close to their high-output flat-top grill, causing delays and  unnecessary waste during the busy summer season.

"We were going through cheap spatulas every other week, it was a false economy. The Mercer turner is in a different league. It feels solid, the handle never gets too hot to hold, and  it just works. No fuss, no melting, just reliable performance."

Ben Carter – Head Chef

The switch completely eliminated mid-service tool failures and  the recurring cost of replacements, improving kitchen workflow significantly.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the turner a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Check that all packaging has been completely removed.
  • Take a moment to get a feel for the tool's weight and  balance in your hand.

Keeping It Going

  • This turner is fully dishwasher safe for quick and  hygienic cleaning.
  • To maintain the handle's grip, avoid using abrasive metal scourers on it.
  • Store it in a clean, dry utensil pot or on a magnetic rack to keep it handy.
  • Built for durability, but a quick check for wear and  tear is always good practice.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Turner

Not sure what to look for in a professional spatula? Here are a few quick tips to help you choose the right tool for the job.

Material Matters

Always opt for a stainless steel head. It offers the best combination of strength, durability, and  resistance to rust and  corrosion in a busy kitchen environment.

Handle with Care

A heat-resistant handle is non-negotiable for professional grill and  griddle work. It's a key safety feature that prevents melting and  protects staff.

Size and  Shape

Consider what you're cooking. A large, solid head like this one is perfect for burgers and  steaks. A smaller, more flexible head is better for delicate fish.

Solid vs. Slotted

This is a solid turner, ideal for supporting food. Slotted (or perforated) turners are designed to let grease and  liquids drain away as you lift.

Comfort is Key

A textured, ergonomic handle isn't a luxury; it reduces hand fatigue during long shifts and  provides a much safer grip when things get greasy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this turner flexible or stiff?

A: This is a heavy-duty turner, so it's very rigid and  sturdy. It’s designed to lift hefty items like large burgers or steaks without bending.

Q: Is the handle completely melt-proof?

A: The handle is heat-resistant up to 232°C, making it exceptionally safe to touch and  to rest near hot surfaces like a griddle edge during normal use.

Q: Can I use this on my non-stick pans?

A: The stainless steel head can scratch non-stick coatings. We recommend using it with stainless steel, cast iron, or commercial griddle surfaces.

Q: What is the head size in centimetres?

A: The head measures approximately 12.7cm wide by 10.2cm deep, making it a generous size for commercial portions.

Q: Is the Mercer Culinary GG735 turner dishwasher safe?

A: Absolutely. It's designed for professional kitchens and  is perfectly safe to be cleaned in a commercial dishwasher.

Q: Does the handle offer good grip?

A: Yes, the handle features a textured finish specifically designed to provide a secure grip, even if your hands are wet or oily.

Q: Is this a 'slotted' or 'perforated' turner?

A: This is a solid turner, which provides maximum support for lifting food. Slotted turners are used to drain away fat or liquid.

Q: Why choose Mercer Culinary over a cheaper brand?

A: Mercer Culinary is a highly respected brand among chefs for its focus on durability, ergonomic design, and  materials that stand up to the abuse of a professional kitchen.

What Customers Are Saying

"A proper bit of kit. This is the best large kitchen spatula I've owned in 10 years. It's solid, doesn't bend under a heavy load, and  the handle is brilliant."

Mark L – The Corner Café, Manchester

"Excellent for the main grill, really sturdy and  makes turning steaks easy. A little on the large side for my smaller pans, but that's what it's for!"

Chloe R – Hotel Chef, London

Sam P – The Full English, Bristol

What Does 'Heat-Resistant to 232°C' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

It's easy to see a number like '232°C' and not grasp its real-world benefit. To put it in perspective, deep-frying oil is typically around 180-190°C. This handle is engineered to withstand temperatures significantly higher than that. Think of it as a safety net for your chefs. If you accidentally rest the handle on the edge of a hot plancha or pan for a moment, it won't melt, warp, or become dangerously sticky like a standard domestic utensil would. It gives your team the confidence to work quickly without worrying about ruining their tools or risking a burn, which is crucial during a hectic service.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Bistros & Restaurants: The ideal commercial spatula for restaurants, perfect for flipping burgers, steaks, and  fish on the plancha.
  • Takeaway Kitchens & Burger Bars: An essential for fast-paced griddle work, ensuring quick, clean, and  safe food handling during peak hours.
  • School & University Canteens: A fantastically durable tool for serving large quantities of food from catering trays and  sheet pans.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: A reliable, heat-resistant utensil that easily stands up to the rigours of constant use on the go.
