spatula
Flat kitchen blade
A spatula is a flat, broad-bladed utensil used for lifting, spreading, or flipping.
Kitchen spatulas flip pancakes or scrape batter from bowls.
In laboratories, spatulas transfer small amounts of powder or paste.
The tool's defining feature is its thin, flexible blade: She slid the spatula under the fish to turn it.
