I am looking for a solid heavy spatula/scraper for my cast iron skillet. Is this one solid and heavy, or is it thin and flexible?

It's thin and small. It's Sturdy but it is also kind of sharp on the handle. I'd skip it.

I'd say its pretty solid, not flimsy or flexi, but smaller than I would have preferred. It does the job for smaller entrees

I talk about the size and thickness in my review on October 4, 2013. If interested please read it, I hesitate to repost it here. For my use it was perfect.zuma

I've had mine for a year and it still looks like the day if arrived. No rust or flaws of any kind and it's been in use very often, at least every other day. How could anyone advise against the best value & bargain of the year? It's a no brainer, get it.

I too bought this item for my cast iron skillet, it works well. The size is perfect for flipping several pieces of meat, and it is not flexible. Coming in at a little under 3 oz, it's not that heavy and most of the weight is in the flipper, not the handle. The handle measures about 6", in case you were looking for longer due to the heat. That being said, I'm sure you could bend the handle if you were rough enough with it, but I have had no problem flipping or scraping up those tasty bits with this spatula in my skillet, I highly recommend it.

Like everyone else, I agree that it is a good tool to have around. I found on amazon a set of two spatula's that would work well. I am traveling, so I can describe only. They are red, thin and not for heavy jobs. I found them when looking for pancake turners. The smaller of the two would work well to turn cookies. The other is huge but works well for my pancakes.

It is truly cast iron. Wall thickness and bottom are both about 1/4". Much heavier than a cast iron skillet

Empty? It is great quality, so it is a bit heavy. Nothing like cast iron. We use it a lot and haven't had any problems.

It's pretty heavy but I don't know exactly. Just be aware that it is pretty large. check the actual measurements on the site and don't forget to allow for the handle that sticks out. I keep mine in the bottom drawer on my stove. I find it easier to keep my cast iron pans in the stove drawer and not mix them up with my other pots and pans.

I returned this and bought another one. I did not feel that this one was strong enough for my skillets and pots.

It is heavier than non stick. But not as heavy as traditional cast iron. I would say weight is not that much an issue

Carbon Steel is thinner and lighter than a comparable size Cast Iron Skillet. This is still a fairly heavy pan, but nothing like cast iron would be. It is certainly oven safe, the only caveat would be that the handle is rather long, which may make it a difficult fit if you have a small oven. This has the handle riveted on, unlike the one piece construction of a cast iron skillet.

The burner is very sturdy. It is strong enough to handle an iron skillet but it could get a little top heavy if the skillet is too large.

It is not as thin as a metal spatula used for crepes but I think it would work well. I use it for cooking all types of delicate items in the frying pan including pancakes, fried eggs, and fish. It is a great tool for stick free surfaces.

No, it really is pretty light, nothing like a heavy cast iron skillet. I use the wok at least twice a week and the way it conducts heat makes it well worth the extra price. I highly recommend it.

I have a large cast iron skillet, another small one, and 5 skillets ranging in size. Along with 6 hooks holding basic utensils for cooking. All are held great without any bending or stress on the unit. The cast iron will bend it if placed on the front of the dome so I have it hanging in the back.

Check manufacturer's details. It doesn't get scratched up like a skillet might. Use it for decorating and transferring wedding cakes.

Not sure how you'd measure that, but it's definitely a thicker/heavier base than standard skillets that you'd find at the store for a similar price. I use this pan frequently to make dairy-based sauces and gravies, and they never stick or burn as they would with a thinner-based pan.

None at all. I've owned the 16" for about six years now, and no problem. I just bought this smaller sized one as we're now empty nested and don't need such a large skillet. Use wooden or plastic utensils with it, never metal, and it should last many years.

I found it to be horrible for hot works. I ended up using old Le Crueset spatulas. I've had the most luck overall with Oxo's utensils, which have some flexibility in the handles. These have zero flexibility.

I don't believe it's heavy enough to be cast iron. I LOVE this grill!!! It's perfect if you don't need a large grill. It holds a good amount though, I've grilled two kinds of meat at the same time. Grate cleans very easily.
