In a professional kitchen, your hand tools are an extension of your skill. This KitchenAid bamboo short turner is a fantastic workhorse. It has the right balance of rigidity and lightness, and the bamboo feels much more premium than a basic plastic version.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →
- Pro: Superb on non-stick pans; you can scrape the bottom without fear of damage.
- Nuance: Requires hand-washing for best results, as dishwashers can dry out the bamboo over time.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Bistro in York needed to replace their assortment of worn-out plastic and metal utensils. Their non-stick pans were getting scratched, and the head chef was frustrated with tools that couldn't stand up to a busy lunch service.
"We switched to these KitchenAid bamboo turners and the difference was immediate. They feel solid, look professional, and most importantly, they don't wreck our pans. Our team loves them, and they handle everything from our breakfast service to searing scallops for dinner."
David Chen – Head Chef, The Garden Bistro
By making the switch, the bistro eliminated the need for early pan replacements, saving an estimated 20% on their annual cookware budget.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Give the turner a quick wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth before storing.
- The turner is ready to use straight away on any cookware surface.
Keeping It Going
- For best results and maximum lifespan, always hand-wash your bamboo spatula.
- Avoid leaving it to soak in water, as this can cause the bamboo to swell or crack over time.
- To keep it looking its best, you can occasionally treat it with a food-safe mineral oil.
- Store it in a dry utensil holder or drawer to protect it from moisture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the KitchenAid DX326 spatula completely rigid or does it have some flex?
A: It's designed to be very sturdy for lifting and turning, but it has a very slight, natural give which helps it slide under food effectively without being flimsy.
Q: Is bamboo better than a standard wooden spatula?
A: Bamboo is a type of grass and is naturally less porous than many traditional woods. This means it's more resistant to absorbing moisture, stains, and odours, making it a very hygienic choice.
Q: Can I use this on my flat-top grill or plancha?
A: Absolutely. It's perfectly suited for high-heat cooking on flat-top grills, cast iron skillets, and commercial-grade pans.
Q: Will it stain easily if I use it with things like bolognese or curry?
A: Like any natural wood product, it can develop a patina or light staining over time with highly pigmented foods. Washing it promptly after use will minimise this.
Q: What is the exact length of the turner?
A: The total length of this model is 297mm (approximately 11.7 inches), offering a great balance of reach and control.
Q: Is the bamboo sustainably sourced?
A: Bamboo is one of the world's most sustainable resources. It's a fast-growing grass that requires no pesticides and regenerates from its own roots, making it an eco-friendly choice.
Q: How thick is the turning edge?
A: The turner features a finely tapered edge, allowing it to slip easily under even delicate foods like fried eggs or crepes without tearing them.
Q: Is the KitchenAid logo printed on or etched into the handle?
A: The branding is laser-etched into the bamboo, so it won't rub off or fade over time with washing and use.

Explore more from KitchenaidWhy Bamboo is a Smart Choice for Professional Kitchens
Ever wonder why so many professional kitchens are turning to bamboo? It’s not just about looks. Bamboo is technically a grass, not a wood, and this gives it some unique advantages. It’s naturally less porous than other woods, meaning it’s less likely to absorb liquids, stains, or odours from strong foods like garlic or curries. Think of it like a naturally sealed surface that’s much easier to keep hygienic. Furthermore, its tensile strength is incredible—it’s stronger than many hardwoods, so it won’t snap under pressure when you're lifting a heavy piece of meat, but it’s still gentle enough that it won't scratch your delicate pans. It's the best of both worlds: strength without aggression.
