After seasoning the protein and getting the flame to the perfect temperature, the griller needs the right tools to finish the job. This grilling spatula received high marks from Home Depot shoppers.
Cooks love kitchen gadgets. While no one wants to overspend on a single use product, the concept that a tool will make cooking easier or help better execute a dish entices that purchase.
Home Depot sells Nexgrill’s Daytona Stainless Steel Outdoor Kitchen Griddle Spatula for $19.99. The extra large, slotted spatula makes it easy to flip burgers, turn fish or even move large cuts of meat around the grill.
With an ergonomic handle, it is easy to maneuver and does not create cooking fatigue. Overall, the spatula is well-balanced, has good heft and feels sturdy in your hand.

While the grilling tool is easy to clean, it should be handwashed with mild dish soap. To maximize the spatula’s lifespan, proper care is essential.
Grillers appreciate the spatula’s multi-functional qualities.
Given the weight and size, one reviewer commented that “Item is well made and recommended for smash burgers as well as other grilling adventures.” Being able to compact a big burger with ease is key for smashburgers. Additionally, the slotted design allows for maximized smashing pressure.
For larger burgers, the grilling tool is equally effective. As one reviewer shared, “Outstanding high quality spatula. Perfect for keeping large burgers intact on grill.” After all, not one wants a big, juicy burger to break into pieces when flipped.

This particular spatula has a beveled edge, which is helpful on a griddle. That sharper side can help separate ingredients, scrape off burnt food or even cut a piece of meat for taste testing. It is another example of the grilling tool’s versatility.
One griller had a different preferred use. That person said, “Spatula is excellent for grilling salmon and fish that want to fall apart when flipping or removing from grate. Very high quality – would purchase it again!”
Anyone who has tried to cook fish on a grill appreciates how important it is to keep the filet in one piece. The larger size makes it easier to get under the fish and keep it from sticking from the grill.
Although it is not necessarily designed for this use, one person said it works for lifting a small pizza. While pizza tools might be a better option, the example does showcase the alternative use for a large spatula.
Both the new griller and the experienced cook appreciate this stainless steel spatula. It is the outdoor kitchen tool that gets the job done.
