How to Get a Big Lift

A big spatula like this can come in handy. Try it when you’re making giant cookies. This will lift them from the baking sheet without cracking them. It’s also works well for pancakes, big hamburgers, quesadillas and delicate pastries, such as individual tarts. The stainless steel spatula, which measures 6 1/4 by 7 inches, has a wooden handle.
