KitchenAid Solid Turner Charcoal Grey
This solid turner from KitchenAid combines the functionality needed for everyday cooking with materials that protect your cookware. The 34cm length provides comfortable reach whilst keeping hands at a safe distance from heat, whilst the oversized nylon head offers a stable platform for flipping and serving everything from delicate eggs to substantial burgers.
The solid head design - without slots or perforations - makes this turner particularly useful for foods you want to serve with their cooking juices, delicate items that benefit from full support, and tasks like serving lasagne or transferring baked goods from tin to plate. The 8.5cm width provides sufficient surface area to support most foods securely during flipping, reducing the risk of items breaking or sliding off.
Nylon construction offers specific advantages for kitchen use. The material withstands temperatures up to 232°C, covering most stovetop cooking tasks, whilst remaining soft enough not to scratch non-stick coatings. This makes the turner safe for use with Teflon, ceramic, and other non-stick surfaces where metal utensils would cause damage. The charcoal grey colour offers a professional appearance that complements most kitchen aesthetics whilst showing fewer stains than lighter colours.
The ergonomic ABS handle features a debossed KitchenAid logo and provides comfortable grip during use. The handle's balance and shape reduce hand fatigue during extended cooking sessions, whilst the integrated hanging loop allows for convenient storage on utensil racks or hooks. At 120g, the turner offers sufficient weight for controlled movement without feeling cumbersome.

- Oversized solid head: 8.5cm wide nylon surface provides stable platform for flipping and serving
- Heat resistance: Nylon head withstands temperatures up to 232°C (450°F)

What Customers Ask About the KitchenAid Solid Turner
Is this safe for non-stick pans?
Yes, the nylon head is specifically designed to be safe for all non-stick cookware. Nylon is softer than metal and won't scratch or damage non-stick coatings, making this turner suitable for use with Teflon, ceramic, and other non-stick surfaces.
What temperature can this withstand?
The nylon head is heat resistant up to 232°C (450°F). This covers most everyday cooking tasks including frying, sautéing, and griddling. Avoid leaving the turner resting in extremely hot pans for extended periods, and don't use it with temperatures exceeding 232°C.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, this turner is dishwasher safe. Place it on the top rack for best results. The nylon head and ABS handle are designed to withstand regular dishwasher cycles without warping or degrading.
What size is the turner head?
The turner features an oversized solid head measuring 8.5cm wide. This provides a stable surface for flipping and serving foods like eggs, pancakes, burgers, fish fillets, and other items that benefit from full support during turning.
Will this melt if left in a hot pan?
The nylon is heat resistant to 232°C, which covers most cooking temperatures. However, avoid leaving the turner resting against the side of very hot pans for extended periods, especially if the pan exceeds the heat resistance threshold. Use the hanging loop to store the turner when not actively in use.
What's the difference between a solid turner and a slotted turner?
A solid turner has a continuous surface without slots or perforations. This makes it ideal for foods you want to serve with their juices or sauces, delicate items that might break through slots, and tasks like serving lasagne or transferring baked goods. Slotted turners allow liquids to drain away, which is useful for fried foods.
What does the lifetime guarantee cover?
KitchenAid provides a lifetime guarantee covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This reflects the quality of construction and materials. The guarantee does not cover normal wear and tear, damage from misuse, or using the turner beyond its heat resistance limits.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Wash the turner in warm soapy water or run through the dishwasher to remove any manufacturing residue. Dry thoroughly before storing.
During cooking: Use the turner for flipping, turning, and serving foods. The nylon head slides easily under foods without scratching non-stick surfaces. Avoid leaving the turner resting against the sides of very hot pans - either hold it whilst cooking or rest it on a spoon rest.
Temperature limits: The nylon is heat resistant to 232°C (450°F). This covers frying, sautéing, griddling, and most stovetop tasks. Do not use the turner in ovens, under grills, or with temperatures exceeding 232°C. Avoid direct contact with open flames.
Dishwasher cleaning: Place the turner on the top rack of your dishwasher. Use standard dishwasher tablets and normal wash cycles. The nylon and ABS materials withstand regular dishwasher use without warping or degrading.
Hand washing: Wash in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or scouring pads which may scratch the surface, though this won't affect functionality.
Removing stains: Nylon can absorb colours from highly pigmented foods. For stubborn stains, soak the turner head in a solution of warm water and baking soda for 30 minutes, then wash normally. Some discolouration over time is normal and doesn't affect performance.
Storage: Use the integrated hanging loop to store the turner on utensil racks, hooks, or bars. This keeps it accessible whilst saving drawer space. Alternatively, store in a utensil crock or drawer organiser.
What to avoid: Don't use the turner as a prying tool or to scrape burnt-on food from pans - this may damage the edge. Don't cut food whilst it's supported on the turner. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat beyond the 232°C limit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used it.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage this turner, we'll replace it at half price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos of the damage are acceptable.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Will this work with cast iron pans?
Yes, the nylon head is safe for cast iron cookware. However, cast iron typically reaches very high temperatures, so monitor the heat to ensure you stay within the 232°C limit. The nylon won't scratch seasoned cast iron surfaces.
Is the handle comfortable for people with arthritis?
The ergonomic ABS handle is designed for comfortable grip and balance. However, individuals with significant arthritis or grip strength issues may find dedicated ergonomic utensils with cushioned grips more comfortable for extended use. The 120g weight is relatively light, which may help.
