How Commercial Slices, Turners & Pie Lifters Work

These professional kitchen tools are brilliantly straightforward but ingeniously designed. Slices and turners feature flat, slightly flexible blades with beveled edges that slide effortlessly under food without damaging it. The angled heads provide optimal leverage for flipping or lifting, while ergonomic handles—often with textured grips—ensure control even with wet or greasy hands. Pie lifters employ wider, triangular blades specifically shaped to support delicate pastries and larger portions. Many designs incorporate ventilation holes to reduce suction when lifting moist foods, while reinforced necks prevent bending under heavy loads—exactly what you need when serving up hundreds of portions daily!
