Test result preview
The 5in1 barbecue spatula from Fun Outdoors is a useful utensil that can be used at any time, both when barbecuing and in the kitchen. The very long handle means you always have a good distance from the heat of the barbecue. The various functions prove to be very useful, so you need fewer kitchen utensils when barbecuing. On the negative side, the small blade at the upper end can quickly lead to injuries if used incorrectly.
Advantages

The first impression
Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

As soon as you open the shipping box, you notice that the product is very sturdy and adequately protected. The box is thicker than average, which is a positive feature. No unnecessary packaging waste was used, the bubble wrap supplied is necessary to protect the product during shipping, but is not sustainable. The contents of the packaging were complete and the product is more than self-explanatory for use.

In the practical test, the ergonomics and handling of the product were tested first. The long handle and rounded finish make it very comfortable and can be used by any adult without any problems. The heat resistance is absolutely sufficient for normal use, and no burn-through or annealing was observed at any time. The entire barbecue spatula can be cleaned and maintained in just a few seconds using cleaning agents without any problems. A positive feature was that the barbecue spat ula was able to withstand larger food items, such as a thicker piece of meat, over a longer period of time without becoming deformed. Overall, the barbecue spatula was found to be very convenient and definitely an asset when barbecuing or cooking.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €23.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €12.99 . The barbecue spatula from Fun Outdoors® is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €19.69. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
