Can you successfully flip a fried egg with the spatula? I'm thinking you need one at an angle like the plastic or metal ones.

This is a great set.My wife loves them.Stong does the job Yes you can.Just tip under egg then slide totally.A metal spatula will ruin a non stick pan in short time and a plastic no good.The plastic melts somewhat and I won't take a chance the plastic will let out a chemical source in the fryer and then eat it.Choose your poison.A little awkward at first,but you'll get it and eliminate using plastic all together.

What do you mean by rotate not by hand? If you put a hot dog on it you can flip it and heat each side

no you can't, the grill is slanted downward to allow for drippings to empty out so your eggs would simply run down into the drippings catcher.

Spatulas are not meant to be firm but have some give. I would not say they "flop around" and I use them to mix when I cook but if I have something stiff, I use a spoon which is the proper utensil. I love my spatula set and I like my spoons. Both work well for their intended purpose.

I have never tried that but I see no reason why you couldn't. I have fried bacon and eggs on it, did fine. Hope this helps. I love mine.

Lisa, I do not care for poached eggs, but just for a "lesson learned", gonna try poaching one egg using the 12 teaspoons as you suggested. If I goof, well I'll just finish it off in a skillet & make an egg sandwich. What is that saying? "Experience is what we get when we were expecting something else. Thank goodness for simple things in life. Stella

I think this is a great question to ask because I was very disappointed to see that there is no flat surface. Please check out my video on Youtube which I took on May 3, 2010. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFk6fLI07MI We couldn't cook fried eggs but it works great for pancake. I bought it for cooking pancake!

I've used mine a lot and leaned it against the edge of a hot fry pan without trouble. Love the shape. Use it all the time. Easily my favorite spatula.

Personally, I have a difficult time maneuvering this bulky turner for flipping eggs or omelets. I prefer the regular size or OXO Good Grips Large Silicone Flexible Turner for eggs.

Not according to the directions, however, I don't see why you can't. But the fact is, unless one of your eggs breaks, all you really need to do is give the two plastic pieces a thorough rinse in hot water.After I cook eggs, while the tray is still very hot, I take a wad of wet paper towels and clean the plate with it (being careful, because it's very hot). Every 10 uses or so, I put vinegar and water in the plate as directed, and let it boil for 10 minutes. Everything is always sparkly clean. I LOVE this thing! We use it all the time.

Hi Jillian, sorry it took so long to get back to you. I have tried it, and Yes it does work, but it's a bit tricky to support the egg properly as you crack it. I found I got better results holding the egg in my hand than in an egg cup. You may not want to pull the plunger all the way up; depends on the thickness of the shell I guess. The edge is not perfectly smooth, but it is much better than an edge made with one of the "toothy" tools. It's a little messy and a little more difficult to retrieve the "lid" from within bell of the cracker since there is no cooked egg attached.Best,Bill TaylorSherman Oaks, CA Hi Jillian, sorry it took so long to get back to you.

I have flipped sandwiches with one, but they're really scrapers and not flippers. However they would work and are wonderful spats, the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot of kinds.

Yes. Simply remove one of the other utensils and replace it with a spatula.

Yes we can. Let the first side cook for a while until golden brown and, with adequate oil used initially (not much needed actually), it won't stick. We can flip it over quite easily. I use a wooden chopstick to lift up the edge and then with the other hand, a spatula to flip it over. Practice makes it easier.

They will work ok if you have a very flat bottomed frying pan, but if it has a slight rounded bottom or a rise in the middle, the eggs will run out from under them. We bought both the medal and the silicon ones and they both do the same thing. I'm going to go to a restaurant supply house and buy some really good ones.

I have never had any issues with food (eggs, or otherwise) sticking to this spatula. This is one of my favorites!! However, to be more helpful, I'll need a little more information... How does your husband prepare his eggs? (over easy, sunny-side up, scrambled, etc) What does he currently use to cook them? (Stainless steel pan, non-stick pan, butter, PAM, etc) And, what exactly is the issue that he's currently having?

The spatula, though it is thicker than my other metal or plastic ones, is tapered on the edge. I doubted its ability to get under something fragile like a fried egg but I was very pleased to see that there is no issue. It works beautifully!
