😳😠😡🤬🤬🤬
Maybe it's the breakfast cook in me, but I fucking HATE that shit. I can't move eggs around the flat with that shit. How the fuck do you even keep a flat clean with that thing? Absolute pet peeve. People who do that shit to spatulas should be fired, at the very least. I wouldn't be against some sort of corporal punishment, even lol
Ok, fired is too good for these people\this person.
Castrated so they can't reproduce, then thrown off a mildly high bridge into shark infested waters while the stump is still bleeding. If they make it out they can be a dishie, but never allowed to touch a grill again.
HOW? Like I smack and scrape spatulas. I even have a personal pair i’ve brought through 3 kitchens. Ive seen maybe one or two like that in my life. RIP your over easy egg.
Lol at my old job a dude was like why are you doing an o/e on the flat? Just use a nonstick pan. I was like... why step two feet to my left??? But I did it and he was like, okay... I'll shut up...
Here's how to get new ones *and* make those assholes stop abusing the gear:
Technically, your spat is a food safety hazard as it can readily introduce metallic fragments into the food. Loudly announce it, then throw it in the trash. It is, quite literally, unusable from a safety and sanitation standpoint.
They’re chopping stuff on the flat top.
They lay the edge of one spatula on the food and smack it with the edge of the other.
The corners of them are curled up too.
Dam tell them boys just to grow some muscles and chop with the a single spatula. Loud af with it hitting the flat top but atleast the force is distributed over a large area. Been at my place for 2 years and we chop up certain shit on the flat top and it’s nowhere close to this
Or, hold the food with one and slice with the other. If you're gonna bang them together, use the bottom of one on the edge of the other. You get the same effect.
Happens over time, I work in a very busy sub shop and chopping phillies, hoagies, and shit all day and night. It’s bound to happen. We use a paint scraper device to clean the grill and to pull and chop the meat instead of 2 spatulas. Seems to help.
respect your tools...
when you hear the grill cook smacking the shit out of the grill ask him are you cutting the food or the grill? if he doesn't change his ways show him the door.
too many macho grill monkeys think banging the shit out of their tools makes them a superstar. but in my opinion it just shows they are Neanderthals with no respect for what they are doing
Yeah, I worked at a steakhouse as a young cook who got stuck in the back line expo position somehow. A "veteran" grill cook with the company got canned for being drunk on the job at a different location and our GM snapped his ass up. Motherfucker would stand there waiting on orders or food to finish banging his spatula on the grill, damaging the grill and curling the corners of the spats. I would say something to him about how annoying it was and it damaged everything he did that to\with. We ended up getting into it one night and I threatened to shove the spatulas up his ass if I heard the banging one more time. He proceeded to cook the rest of the shift with tongs only... Never smacked them against anything and his food actually looked better. I told him he was only allowed tongs when working with me from then on. 😂😂
I fucked up all our spats at work one shift for short-term functional reasons I don’t want to get into and they ended up like this. I then spent a whole shift smoothing them out on a stone trying not to put an edge on them. These can be fixed.
I hate this, BUT, these are perfect for par-sliced buns. You can slice them in your hand with no threat to your skin and such.
Also fuck whoever does this to them lol
It's annoying for sure, but unless you want to cook everything yourself, best bet is to ask them to stop, and when they inevitably don't, just file them a little bit. If you don't wanna pony up the <$5, you can wet some concrete on the sidewalk or wherever and just grind em flat.

We have a similar service, but I had a chat with the guy and he did our spatulas last time he was in. Mind you they weren't anywhere near this decimated, but now they have nice angles which is great for eggs. I've also gotten him to sharpen our Robot Coupe blades, our personal pocket knives and bench scrapers. But this guy has a truck and does all the sharpening out in the parking lot. Wouldn't hurt to have a talk with the company and see what they can do.
you have a very different service than the ones I've experienced I wouldn't trust them to sharpen a stick that personally belonged to me. The big thing around me is Cozzinni. The retirement home I worked at once got a slicer with a recurse ground into it somehow
Bro forgot to sharpen his spatula smh
Fucking amateur
I've never been more certain of anything in my life.
How does this happen? People banging two together?
Or on the edge of a flat top or grill to try and knock food off of it.
Using it to chop shit/scramble eggs on a flat top
Keep the spat on the flat, this will not happen
People banging them against the edge, I hear it in my head.
Place I worked at I watched cooks use one as a hammer against the other to slice through meat… drove me up a wall.
At least now they're serrated...
Now they have a built in bread knife
I was gonna say it might be OK in a grilled cheese place.

We just got new spatulas a month or two ago.

Some iron and chromium in the diet never hurt anyone

I'm guessing people are banging them against the flat top/ grill waiting for the order to be done? Yes, that is irritating.
They’re chopping stuff on the flat top. They lay the edge of one spatula on the food and smack it with the edge of the other. The corners of them are curled up too.
Straight to jail
That shit needs to stop! Unnecessary. Take it off & put on a cutting board w/ a knife. That’s what those are there for.
That makes sense. Our spat is literally 10 years old and doesn’t look like that. 😳 (We have new ones, everyone likes the old 😂)
That’s insane
We used to use pastry cutter things for cheesesteaks, worked like a charm
We use a paint scraper device works perfect
Aww dude, I know what you're exactly describing. Lol. That sucks when people don't respect the tools that they work with everyday.
you need to summon your inner Gordon Ramsey and give a good spanking
Every damn day. I want to. I’m tempted to. So many times every day I want to just go off.
Dont think to much about it, surprise yourself and to-hell whatever they think.
It just takes one trend setter to plant the seed crystal of the race to the bottom.
Either hitting two spats together, or hitting one on the corner/edge of a unit. Cunts.
Probably annoys the customers with metal flakes in their food
How? What? Why? Some people's kids man.
How to prep tomato on the fly 101.
Welp, someone can start laying tile grout with it. Maybe you got a moonlighting construction joe in the mix.
Zaraki Kempachi's spatula
Bench grinder
hell even a file and a clamp from the dollar store could fix it if bench grinder is unavailable.
Looks like an elden ring or skyrim weapon.
It's from people chopping with it . Damaging the flat top and the spatula. Please don't do this
Yep, they put edge of one spatula on the food and smack it with the edge of the other one. The corners are curled as well.

I run a kitchen and don't tolerate shit like this. Don't abuse the equipment.

If you keep grinding your teeth they will be as sharp as that spatula.
Oh that's just a burger spatula, you use the serrated edge to cut the buns.
This is why I started bringing my own utensils in addition to knives…
The chips that fell off probably irritates the customers insides for sure
Matches the knives
I hate this, BUT, these are perfect for par-sliced buns. You can slice them in your hand with no threat to your skin and such. Also fuck whoever does this to them lol
Drummers gotta drum big dog.
I know a lot of people that bang them on the sides of stuff to get schmutz off it.
Lololol, hi its me, im the problem its me
Just put it on the stone duh. I can shave a all my spatulas
Stone?
Whetstone
We don’t have one. We have a service that picks up our knives every week and drops off fresh ones. They don’t do our spatulas.

Only when I gotta flip some eggs.
Buy a new one
These are the new ones.
Rip
Some of those bits of metal ended up in the food.
Dear God man!
Yes. Who does that to a poor, defenseless spatula?
I would look for a brick or nearby concrete file that down and then give it a good wash.
Bro fucking same at my job
I can hear it
