Cast iron cooking utensils

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I have been trying to move away from plastic and silicone, especially with

cast iron because I noticed the tips of plastic spatulas will begin to

" curdle " and flake off into food when I am making burgers or pancakes.

Today, I was cooking pancakes on a cast iron skillet and was using a metal

(I thought stainless steel) spatula, and there was metal pieces left in the

pancakes as if it had been sprinkled with glitter!!!! Not interested in

increasing our metal toxicity load, I threw out the pancakes. What a waste!

Can someone tell me what type and BRAND of spatula I need? (I do not mean

the rubber spatulas used for batter, I mean a tough frying spatula for

flipped burgers and pancakes).

Thanks
