DESCRIPTION: These are a keyhole shaped spatula and an open hearth long handled wrought iron spatula, cake turner, and miniature peel. A spatula is a small implement with a broad, flat, flexible blade used to mix, spread and lift materials including foods and other necessities. In kitchens, a spatula is also known as peel or turner. A peel is an ancient baking tool. For thousands of years, bakers have moved loaves in and out of hot ovens on a long-handled shovel type of tool that was made of iron or wood. Oven Peels, or baking paddles, have been used in many different cultures and the oven varied during the different eras. In the Colonial Years of our country the ovens were made of brick, stone or clay. The keyhole shaped spatula would have been used to cook in an open hearth and would have been forged by a blacksmith. The keyhole shaped spatula is hand wrought from a single piece of iron. The keyhole shaped spatula has a fine rat tail end for hanging by the open hearth.
