Product Overview
Here’s a tool that proves the best things often come in small packages. The Dick DL379 is a professional-grade stainless steel cranked spatula, designed for chefs who value precision, control, and safety.

- Top-Notch Control: The blade's flexibility is perfect for getting under tricky items cleanly.
- Handle Grip: A slightly more textured handle would be even better for wet conditions.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Northern Quarter Grill', a bustling eatery in central Manchester, was looking to upgrade their essential kitchen tools. Their existing spatulas were wearing out quickly, and the straight-handled designs were leading to occasional minor burns on the grill station.
"It's a small tool, but it's one we use hundreds of times a day. The Dick offset turner is just brilliant. The handle keeps our hands clear of the heat, which the team really appreciates, and the blade is strong enough for smashing burgers but delicate enough for fried eggs. It’s made the grill station a safer, more efficient place to work."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
The upgrade resulted in a noticeable improvement in staff comfort and a 15% reduction in plating errors for delicate items during peak service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give it a good wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Dry it thoroughly to keep the stainless steel blade looking its best.
- Find a home for it in your utensil pot or on a magnetic rack – you'll want it close by!
Keeping It Going
- Hand-washing is best to prolong the life of the handle and blade.
- Avoid using harsh metal scourers which can scratch the stainless steel.
- Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain hygiene.
- Store it where the blade is protected to keep its edge and shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this spatula dishwasher safe?
A: While the stainless steel can handle a dishwasher, we strongly recommend hand-washing to maintain the integrity and longevity of the handle.
Q: What is a 'cranked' spatula actually used for?
A: The cranked or offset design raises the handle, keeping your hand and knuckles safely away from the hot surface of a pan or grill, which also gives you better leverage.
Q: Is the blade on the Dick DL379 spatula flexible or stiff?
A: This model features a flexible blade, which is ideal for gently sliding under delicate foods like fish, omelettes, and crepes without damaging them.
Q: What material is the blade made from?
A: The blade is constructed from high-quality, durable stainless steel, designed for the demands of a professional kitchen environment.
Q: Can I use this for smashing burgers on a griddle?
A: Absolutely. While flexible, the blade is made from strong stainless steel that's more than tough enough for pressing down on burgers, bacon, or steaks to get a great sear.
Q: Is this spatula suitable for a professional chef?
A: Yes, the Dick brand is highly respected in the culinary world, and this stainless steel offset turner is specifically designed for professional use.
Q: What's the main advantage of the 10cm blade?
A: The 10cm (4-inch) blade provides excellent precision and control, making it perfect for intricate plating, pastry work, and turning smaller items with accuracy.
Q: Will this scratch my non-stick pans?
A: As with any metal utensil, there is a risk of scratching non-stick coatings. We'd advise using silicone or nylon tools for your non-stick pans to be safe.
The Dick Advantage: Engineered for the Professional Hand
In a professional kitchen, tools are not disposable commodities; they are investments in efficiency, consistency, and safety. For over 240 years, the Dick brand has built its reputation on this very principle, creating tools that are not just functional, but are extensions of the chef's skill. This Dick DL379 spatula is a perfect example. Beyond the specs, it represents a commitment to quality that translates into real-world benefits. It won't unexpectedly bend when lifting a heavy item, the handle won't degrade after months of heavy use and washing, and its ergonomic balance actively reduces fatigue over a long shift. For a business, this means investing once in a tool that lasts, rather than repeatedly replacing cheaper, inferior alternatives. It ensures your team can perform consistently, present food beautifully, and work safely—a small detail that has a big impact on your kitchen's overall performance and professionalism.
Explore more from DickWhat Does 'Cranked' or 'Offset' Actually Mean for You?
Ever tried to slide a normal, flat spatula under a pancake at the back of a hot pan and ended up with your knuckles sizzling on the rim? That's the exact problem a 'cranked' or 'offset' design solves. The handle is bent upwards, away from the flat plane of the blade.
Think of it like this: a normal spatula is a completely flat road, but an offset spatula is like a road with an overpass. Your hand (the car) travels safely on the overpass, high above the 'danger zone' of the hot pan below. This simple piece of clever ergonomics not only prevents burns but also gives you a much better angle of attack, allowing the blade to slip under food cleanly while your hand stays level and comfortable. It's a small detail that makes a huge difference to safety and control during a busy service.
