Use a fish spatula to scoop underneath fried eggs

Fish spatulas are one of the most underappreciated kitchen tools available. Ted Allen, the host of Food Network's "Chopped", suggests keeping a fish spatula on hand at all times. Because of its thinness, this spatula can easily pass underneath fish fillets, scoop out lasagna from a dish, and, most importantly, delicately remove fried eggs from a pan without puncturing the yolk.

Use a fish spatula instead of a regular plastic or metal spatula because the shape and curvature make it much easier to maneuver in a small pan. Fish spatulas with wooden, plastic, or metal handles are available. You can hand-wash your fish spatula (which Dalstrong recommends for those with wooden handles) or put it in the dishwasher for quick cleaning and efficient sanitizing.
