Fish slice
Fish slice
A Fish slice (pronounced: /fɪʃ slaɪs/) is a kitchen utensil primarily used for the handling and turning of food items during cooking.
Etymology
The term "Fish slice" is derived from its primary use in the preparation and serving of fish. The word "slice" is from the Old English slíce, which means a flat piece or a broad, flat implement.
Description
A Fish slice is typically a broad, flat, flexible blade with slots or holes, allowing the liquids to drain away from the food when serving. It is often made from heat-resistant materials such as stainless steel, nylon, or silicone to withstand high cooking temperatures.
Usage
While the Fish slice is traditionally used for fish, it is also commonly used for flipping and serving a variety of other foods, such as pancakes, eggs, and burgers. Its design allows it to slide under the food without damaging it, making it a versatile tool in the kitchen.
