Epicurean Kitchen Utensils Saute Tool

I purchased the Epicurean Saute Tool a couple of years ago and really liked it.It stood up to extensive use and repeated dishwashing.But when I ordered a replacement, I found that the tool has been redesigned.The new saute tool has a smaller head with a more angular shape.(The picture still shows the old version.)The new one is pointed at the edges instead of curved as shown in the picture.The quality seems to be the same, but I am disappointed that the shape was changed.I preferred the rounded edges of the original design.

This is a good saute tool, but better suited to a pan than a wok. Someone has posted new pictures showing the best view; the true shape is the brownish one to the right, in the photo of two tools together. The slate color is a lovely, matte black, not dark grey, to be exact about color. Except for the shape, this does work well and stands up to heat, so far. It's great for turning and pushing food around a frying pan. This one does work in a wok, of course, it's just not the optimal shape.

For wok fans, try the same brand, flat, long spoon: "Epicurean Kitchen Utensils Large Spoon", sold on Amazon for about same price as this. The curved edges of the flat spoon make scraping the sides of a wok easier than this more angular tool. Or, buy both this and the spoon! They make a terrific set for cooking many things. Use the two tools together in a wok, in a salad-tossing/mixing fashion, to thoroughly mix all ingredients. It's useful to have two tools of the same length! I'm happy to have both in my kitchen.
