I've been using this for flipping fried eggs and it slides under them without breaking the yolks, which my old spatula always did. The thin lip is sharp enough to get under crispy edges but doesn't scratch my nonstick pan. Five wide slots drain the grease off nicely too.

The thin, almost-sharp lip slides under salmon fillets without any tearing, even when they’re sticking a bit to the pan. Those five wide slots let the oil drain quickly, so it’s become my go-to for flipping anything delicate.
