egg turner

Breakfast cooking utensil

An egg turner is a flat spatula with a thin, flexible blade designed for flipping fried eggs without breaking the yolk.

The term distinguishes it from other spatulas: Hand me the egg turner, not the rubber one.

Any thin, wide spatula used for flipping eggs or similar delicate foods may be called an egg turner.
