I have a customer wondering if the BBQ turners can be used in the kitchen?

I can't think of why not, except, perhaps their size?

I don't have them - so I can't quite tell how big they really are. They say 15"-17" in length. That seems too big to me to use inside, but having never seen them, I don't know.

Anyone who has the BBQ turners, do you think they could be used inside? Or are they really too big?

THANKS!!
 
In my opinion they are way too big to use inside. To me they are really big and I am not a small person..I would fell very clumsy trying to use them inside.
 
They're really long. The overall length of the BBQ Turner is 17". The head alone is 5" long and angles from 2 3/4" to 3 3/4" in width. Since it's metal, you wouldn't want to use it on non-stick cookware. It is made specifically to be used on a grill. I think it would be unwieldy to use in the kitchen.
 
I used to use them to get pizza out of the oven but now that we have the mega lifter, no more! That mega lifter rocks!

Thanks for the Feedback!

I will let my customer know. I am not exactly sure what she is looking to use it for. I will direct her to the Large Serving Spatula.

Thanks again - big help!
 
I'd also say they're too big for the kitchen :) I like them, but only outside!
 
i have a jenn-air grill and sometimes use them on that but for regular cooking in a pan in the kitchen i wouldn't use it....

Plus, the heat-resistant nylon material makes them safe to use on all types of cookware. So go ahead and add them to your kitchen arsenal - you won't regret it! Happy cooking!
