Overview
["Cuisinart's CTG-20-LT brings the brand's kitchen tool sensibility to the grill at $8.99. A slotted turner lets fats and juices drain through while you flip burgers, fish fillets, or vegetables, which keeps the grate cleaner and reduces flare-ups on gas grills.", 'Stainless steel is the material here. It handles direct grill heat, does not rust with normal outdoor exposure, and is easy to wipe or rinse clean after a session. The tool has no listed weight, which makes it hard to gauge heft, but Cuisinart hand tools in this range tend to run light.', 'With 261 reviews at 4.6 stars, buyers are solidly satisfied. That score puts it on par with more expensive options, which is the main argument for picking it up at $8.99.']

Frequently asked questions
What is a slotted turner used for on the grill?
A slotted turner has openings cut into the blade that let grease, marinades, and juices drain away as you lift food off the grate. This is particularly useful for burgers, fish, and vegetables where excess moisture on the spatula blade can cause the food to slide or steam rather than sear.
Can the Cuisinart CTG-20-LT handle thick cuts of meat?
The slotted turner design is well suited for flat cuts like burgers, chicken breasts, fish fillets, and pork chops. For very thick or heavy cuts such as a bone-in ribeye, a heavier-duty solid spatula or a set of tongs gives more control. The Cuisinart at this weight is best for lighter grilling tasks.
Is this spatula dishwasher safe?
Stainless steel is dishwasher safe and will not rust or warp in machine washing. If the handle has a separate grip material, hand-washing is gentler on any bonding between the handle and the blade, but the stainless blade itself handles repeated machine cycles without issue.
