Fish spatula

America's Test Kitchen (which publishes Cook's Illustrated) recently told us to Say Hello to the Best Metal Spatula. Somewhat surprisingly, they propose that a fish spatula is actually the best spatula to use for all kitchen purposes as "With its maneuverability, surgical precision, and crisp, high-end construction, this spatula could not be beat."  And despite its light-weight nature, it supported a four-pound brick. Check out the article for more details, including the brand they chose as the best.

And while we're on the subject of Cook's Illustrated, don't forget that we have all of the issues - start to finish - indexed here on the site.
