The Sekishin GTU-01 is a large Japanese spatula designed for use directly on a stovetop, griddle, or grill. Its blade measures 180 mm long by 75 mm wide, providing a generous surface area for sliding under food, flipping it, and transferring it without distorting it.
Made of Japanese stainless steel with a satin finish, the spatula features a generously rounded tip and a relatively flat profile. The offset neck keeps the handle and fingers away from the hot surface while making it easier to work on a griddle. The black handle, secured with three rivets, provides a secure and stable grip.
With its 180 mm flat surface, the GTU-01 is particularly handy for foods that require good support when flipping: pancakes, fish, meat, vegetables, or dishes cooked over a large surface area. Its 75 mm width remains narrow enough to ensure good maneuverability. However, its size is less suitable for small pans or tasks requiring a high degree of precision in a confined space.
Stainless steel requires little maintenance and does not develop a patina like carbon steel. Hand washing followed by drying is recommended to preserve the handle, rivets, and finish of the spatula.
