The WHK052 is a 365mm slotted turner with stainless steel blade and thermoplastic handle. Used for turning, lifting and draining fried or grilled foods in commercial kitchens. Slot pattern allows fat and oil drainage during plating or transfer.
Commercial Application
Operators use slotted turners at grill stations, fry sections and buffet service points. The tool lifts protein portions, breaded items and fried foods while excess oil drains through the slots. Reduces plate presentation grease and maintains food texture.
During service the 365mm reach allows access to deep fryers and large griddle surfaces without hand exposure to heat. The turner handles items up to approximately 200g without blade flex. Kitchen staff use it continuously across prep and plating workflows.
Key Operational Advantages
- Stainless steel blade resists corrosion in high-moisture commercial environments

- Thermoplastic handle remains cool during extended griddle or fryer use
- 72mm blade width accommodates standard protein portions and breaded items
- CE certified for commercial food contact use in UK, EU, USA and Canada markets

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is the WHK052 blade manufactured from?
A: The blade uses food-grade stainless steel meeting CE commercial food contact standards. Specific grade classification is 18/0 or 18/8 depending on production batch. Both grades provide adequate corrosion resistance for commercial kitchen use.
Q: What is the maximum food weight the turner can lift without blade flex?
A: The 72mm blade supports approximately 200g portions without noticeable flex during lifting. Heavier items may require two-hand technique or alternative lifting tools. Blade stiffness is optimised for standard protein and breaded item service.
Q: Can the handle withstand commercial dishwasher cycles?
A: The thermoplastic handle tolerates temperatures up to 80°C in commercial dishwashers. Prolonged exposure above this temperature may cause handle deformation. Hand washing extends tool lifespan in high-volume operations.
Q: Is the WHK052 suitable for use with non-stick cookware surfaces?
A: The stainless steel blade may scratch non-stick coatings if applied with force. Use nylon or silicone turners on non-stick surfaces. This tool is designed for stainless steel griddles, cast iron and chrome-plated equipment.
Q: Does TurcoBazaar supply replacement stock for multi-site catering operators?
A: Volume replacement programmes available for hotel groups and catering chains. Mixed utensil orders consolidated for freight efficiency. Contact for standardised tool kit specifications across multiple kitchen sites.
