Solid Teak Cooking Turner | Durable & Non-Toxic Spatula for Heavy-Duty Use

While versatile enough for everyday use, the Yompai Heavy-Duty Medium Spatula is specifically crafted for those who need a more substantial tool. It is noticeably heavier and thicker than standard models, providing the heft required for demanding kitchen tasks like browning large batches of meat, stirring thick stews, or deglazing heavy cast iron pans.

Hand-carved from a single piece of premium Thai teak, this spatula offers unmatched structural integrity. It won't flex, bend, or warp under heavy pressure, making it a reliable, long-lasting alternative to plastic or thin bamboo utensils.

In stock and ready to ship from Gisborne, NZ.

Enhanced Lipped Design for Strength and Control 

This 38 cm Spatula  features a subtle, carved lip along the back edge of the head. Hand-carved by our artisan partners in Northern Thailand, this gentle contour adds structural strength to the paddle while creating a shallow scoop.

The front edge remains precisely tapered to slide smoothly under delicate foods, making it just as easy to turn, lift, and serve as it is to scrape heavy pans.

Key Features & Specifications:

  • Reinforced Lipped Head: Adds structural durability for heavy mixing while allowing you to scoop, lift, and serve portions easily.

  • 38cm Extended Reach: Keeps hands safely clear of heat, steam, and oil splatters when cooking at high temperatures.

  • Tapered Precision Edge: Glides directly under eggs, fillets, and pan-seared meats without tearing them.

  • 100% Non-Toxic & Cookware-Safe: Carved from solid natural teak with zero glues, plastics, or chemical lacquers. Smooth wooden edges won't scratch non-stick coatings or enamel.

  • Naturally Water-Resistant: High-density teak resists moisture absorption, preventing cracking and warping over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of the lipped edge on this heavy-duty spatula? A: The subtle lipped edge reinforces the structural core of the spatula head, preventing flexing when moving heavy ingredients. It also gives the blade a gentle contour, making it easier to hold juices, scoop sauces, and serve portions directly from the pan.

Is a 38cm wooden spatula safe for non-stick cookware and cast iron? Yes. Solid teak wood is firm enough to scrape up pan drippings (fond) from cast iron, yet gentle enough to protect delicate non-stick pan linings from scratches.

  1. Care & Maintenance

      • Hand Wash Only: Clean with warm, soapy water. Do not soak or place in the dishwasher.
      • Dry Naturally: Wipe with a cloth and allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
      • Restore the Finish: Occasionally rub with a beeswax wood conditioner or food-safe mineral oil to maintain the wood’s natural oils and deep grain. Avoid using kitchen oils like olive or coconut oil. These can become rancid.
      • Nourish your teak naturally — grab our Gisborne-Handcrafted Beeswax Conditioner.

    Crafted from naturally high-density Teak, our kitchenware inherently wicks away moisture to prevent mold without the need for toxic lacquers. This intentional choice ensures a durable, raw-wood finish that is naturally hygienic and food-safe
