Our verdict

The OXO Good Grips Little Fish Turner is the only pick that separates its head from its handle, stating 11.69 inches overall and a 6.34 inch head. The Gourmet Easy set is the only two-piece stainless option with a published 5-year warranty. The Beijiyi two-pack is the only pick with a silicone edge for nonstick cookware. The Cyoufine publishes 600 F and 0.13 pounds. The Vovoly set pairs a 3 by 6 inch blade with a 4 by 8 inch blade and a full tang wood handle.

“Blade material and edge shape decide which pan it suits.”

Lush Editorial Team

What separates these five

Blade edge The OXO, Vovoly, Cyoufine and Gourmet Easy list beveled or thin edges. The Beijiyi adds a silicone soft top edge for nonstick pans.
Heat Only the Cyoufine publishes a heat figure: up to 600 F. The Beijiyi states high heat resistance without a number.
Weight Published weights run from 0.13 pounds for the Cyoufine to 0.42 pounds for the Beijiyi. One of the five publishes no weight at all.
Handle Handles are soft non-slip on the OXO, smooth non-slip on the Cyoufine, wood and full tang on the Vovoly, and thick silicone on the Beijiyi.
Cleaning The Gourmet Easy, Beijiyi and Cyoufine state dishwasher safe. The Vovoly states hand washing. The OXO states no washing method at all.

How we chose

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.

  1. 30% Blade edge and materialIt decides whether the spatula suits nonstick or stainless cookware.
  2. 25% Published dimensionsLength and blade size tell a reader whether it fits the pan and the drawer.
  3. 20% Handle material and gripWood, silicone and soft grip each suit different cooking styles.
  4. 15% Published heat ratingOnly one maker states a figure, so it carries less weight across the group.
  5. 10% Cleaning instructionsDishwasher safe versus hand wash only affects daily use.

How the Five Compare on the Numbers

The five picks differ most in what their makers publish. The OXO lists a width of 2.7 inches, a depth of 0.85 inches, a height of 11.7 inches and a weight of 0.18 pounds. The Cyoufine lists a width of 3.0 inches, a depth of 11.2 inches and a weight of 0.13 pounds, the lightest figure here. The Vovoly lists a width of 3.0 inches, a depth of 6.0 inches and a weight of 0.23 pounds, and those first two figures are exactly the smaller of the two blades it states rather than either whole tool.

Two picks leave more blank. The Gourmet Easy publishes width and depth but no height and no weight. The Beijiyi publishes 3.3 by 12.3 inches and 0.42 pounds, the heaviest figure here, with no height and nothing in its own words to say which of its two spatulas those figures describe. Where a maker states nothing, we write not published rather than estimate. That is the honest limit of this comparison.

The table does not tell you how any of these feel in the hand, how the blade flexes under a fillet, or how the edge holds up after a year of cooking. No one at Lush has used these spatulas. The figures above are what the makers publish, and where a cell reads not published, the maker states nothing.

Blade Edge and Pan Material

Silicone versus stainless steel

The Beijiyi pick is the only one of the five with a silicone soft top edge and handle. The maker states it will not scratch pans and calls it perfect for nonstick cookware. That is the single feature that separates it from the other four, all of which list metal blades. If your pan has a coated surface, that published feature is the one to weigh first.

The Gourmet Easy pick goes the other way. Its maker states the spatula is not specifically designed for nonstick or coated cookware. It is a 304 stainless steel turner with an ultra-thin edge, sold as a set of two. The OXO, Cyoufine and Vovoly picks also list stainless steel blades without a nonstick claim. Read the maker’s own wording before you buy for a coated pan.

Thin edges and beveled blades

Four of the five picks describe an edge meant to slide under food. The OXO lists a beveled edge. The Vovoly lists a precision ground, curved, beveled edge. The Cyoufine lists a slotted design for delicate foods. The Beijiyi states a 0.8 mm thin blade with a curved design and beveled edges, the only published blade thickness in the group.

The Gourmet Easy lists an ultra-thin edge for flipping. None of these figures tell you how the blade performs. They tell you what shape the maker cut and how thick the maker says the metal is. For a thin fillet, a thin published blade is the number to look at, and only Beijiyi gives you one.

Size, Weight and Reach

Published lengths

The OXO publishes an overall length of 11.69 inches and a height of 11.7 inches. The Cyoufine publishes a depth of 11.2 inches and a blade of 11.2 by 3.15 inches. The Beijiyi publishes 3.3 by 12.3 inches for a set of two. The Gourmet Easy large turner is listed at 13.6 by 3.5 by 0.5 inches. The Vovoly set pairs a 3 by 6 inch blade with a 4 by 8 inch blade.

Those figures describe different things. A depth of 11.2 inches and an overall length of 11.69 inches are close, but the makers do not say whether the number includes the handle. Treat each figure as the maker’s own label, not as a like for like measurement. Four of the five publish no height field at all, so the Gourmet Easy, Beijiyi, Cyoufine and Vovoly rows are blank in that line and we leave them blank.

Published weights

Weights run from 0.13 pounds for the Cyoufine to 0.42 pounds for the Beijiyi. The OXO publishes 0.18 pounds and the Vovoly 0.23 pounds. The Gourmet Easy publishes no weight at all, which is the one blank in this row. A lighter published weight may matter if you flip food for a long stretch, but weight alone does not describe balance, and no listing publishes a balance point.

The Beijiyi figure covers a two-piece set, so it is not directly comparable to the single spatulas. The Vovoly figure also covers a two-piece set. Read the number with the piece count beside it. That is why the table lists both rows together rather than ranking the group by weight alone.

Handles and Cleaning

Handle materials

The OXO lists a soft, comfortable, non-slip handle. The Cyoufine lists a smooth handle with a non-slip grip. The Gourmet Easy lists an ergonomic non-slip grip that holds even with wet hands. The Beijiyi lists a thick silicone surface that isolates heat and is non-slip. The Vovoly lists a full tang wood handle that the maker states will not snap easily.

Wood and silicone behave differently around heat and water. The Vovoly states its wood handle is full tanged and polished. The Beijiyi states its silicone handle isolates heat. The OXO, Gourmet Easy and Cyoufine describe grip texture but not handle material beyond that. If handle material matters to you, only the Vovoly and Beijiyi name theirs plainly.

Cleaning instructions

The Gourmet Easy, Beijiyi and Cyoufine state dishwasher safe. The Vovoly states it is easy to clean by hand and does not list dishwasher use, which matters for a wood handle. The OXO states no washing method anywhere in its published features, which for a stainless head and a soft handle is an odd blank. Check the maker’s current care instructions before washing any of these.

A wood handle and a dishwasher are a poor pair in most kitchens, and the Vovoly maker does not claim otherwise. The silicone and stainless picks make the claim directly. That is a published difference you can act on, and it is the reason the cleaning row sits in the table beside the handle row.

Which One Fits Your Kitchen

If you cook on nonstick pans. The Beijiyi two-piece set is the only pick with a silicone edge and handle, and the maker states it will not scratch pans. It weighs 0.42 pounds, the heaviest published figure here, and comes as a pair.

If you want one compact turner. The OXO Good Grips Little Fish Turner publishes an overall length of 11.69 inches, a beveled edge and a soft non-slip handle. It is a single spatula at 0.18 pounds, suited to a small drawer.

If you want two stainless sizes. The Gourmet Easy set pairs a large 13.6 inch turner with a small 10.8 inch turner, both 304 stainless steel, and carries a published 5-year warranty. The maker states it is not for nonstick cookware.

If published heat matters to you. The Cyoufine states heat up to 600 F and weighs 0.13 pounds, the lightest figure of the five. It is a single 11.2 inch slotted spatula with a smooth non-slip handle.

If you prefer a wood handle. The Vovoly set has a full tang wood handle and two slotted blades, 3 by 6 inches and 4 by 8 inches. The maker states hand wash only, so keep it out of the dishwasher.

What We Could Not Verify

Several figures a buyer would want are simply not published by the makers. We list them here rather than estimate.

  • The Gourmet Easy height and weight are not published.
  • The Beijiyi height is not published, and its 3.3 by 12.3 inches covers a set of two.
  • The Cyoufine height is not published.
  • The Vovoly height is not published.
  • No maker publishes a blade thickness except Beijiyi, which states 0.8 mm.
  • No maker publishes a warranty except Gourmet Easy, which states 5 years.

Frequently asked questions

Which fish spatula suits nonstick cookware?+

The Beijiyi two-piece set is the only pick with a silicone soft top edge and handle, and the maker states it will not scratch pans. The Gourmet Easy states it is not specifically designed for nonstick or coated cookware. The other three picks list stainless steel or metal blades without a nonstick claim.

Which pick is the lightest?+

The Cyoufine publishes a weight of 0.13 pounds, the lightest of the five. The OXO publishes 0.18 pounds. The Vovoly publishes 0.23 pounds and the Beijiyi 0.42 pounds, and both of those figures cover a set of two spatulas rather than one tool. The Gourmet Easy publishes no weight at all, so four of the five can be compared on this figure and one cannot.

Does any pick publish a heat rating?+

Only the Cyoufine publishes a heat figure, stated as up to 600 F. The Beijiyi states high heat resistance without a number, and says its silicone will not melt. The OXO, Gourmet Easy and Vovoly do not publish a heat rating of any kind, so four of these five cannot be compared on temperature at all.

Which picks come as a set?+

The Gourmet Easy, Vovoly and Beijiyi picks each include two spatulas. The Gourmet Easy set has a large 13.6 by 3.5 by 0.5 inch turner and a small 10.8 by 3 by 0.5 inch turner. The Vovoly set has a 3 by 6 inch blade and a 4 by 8 inch blade. The Beijiyi set has two sizes.

Are these spatulas dishwasher safe?+

Three of the five say so. The Gourmet Easy states the set is dishwasher safe and easy to clean. The Beijiyi states it is easy to clean by hand wash and dishwasher safe. The Cyoufine states you can wipe it with hot water or put it in the dishwasher. The Vovoly states only that it is easy to clean by hand, which matters for a wood handle, and the OXO states no washing method at all.

How long is each of these spatulas?+

The Gourmet Easy large turner is listed at 13.6 by 3.5 by 0.5 inches. The OXO is 11.69 inches overall. The Cyoufine publishes 11.2 inches. The Beijiyi publishes 12.3 inches. The Vovoly lists a 3 by 6 inch blade and a 4 by 8 inch blade. The listings do not agree on what they are measuring, so these figures cannot be set side by side as blade lengths.
