What Lamson Chef's Slotted Turner is made of, ingredients and materials
The Lamson Chef's Slotted Turner has a stainless steel head (typically 18/8 or 18/10 grade) and a handle made of polypropylene or silicone. Stainless steel is chemically stable during cooking and does not leach metals like aluminum or iron under normal use. The polymer handle is the only component of concern, polypropylene is generally heat-stable to around 160-170 degrees Celsius and does not contain BPA or phthalates by design, though silicone handles present virtually no leaching risk even at higher temperatures.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Polymer handle thermal degradation
Polypropylene handles can soften or warp if left resting directly on hot cookware or near high heat sources; silicone is more stable, though both materials present lower concern for normal cooking use below their melting points.
Microplastic shedding from handle
Prolonged use or physical stress can cause minor particulate wear from polymer handles, though the amount is negligible in cooking application and does not pose documented health risk at typical exposure levels.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Rivet or fastener corrosion
No documented corrosion issues reported for Lamson turners; stainless steel rivets in quality cutlery are resistant to rust, though cheap fasteners can fail over time with poor maintenance.
Lead
This product has no coating on the steel head and no glaze or enamel layer, eliminating this hazard class entirely; the polymer handle contains no heavy metal pigments by standard formulation.

The brand's record and disclosure
Lamson Sharp is a small US-based cutlery and kitchen tool manufacturer with no public record of safety certifications, recalls, or testing disclosures specific to this turner. The brand does not publish material specifications or PFAS statements on its website, which limits independent verification. No documented contamination incidents or consumer complaints have surfaced for this product line in public databases.
How it compares in its category
Stainless steel turners present lower concern in the cookware utensil category because they are not a material linked to coating degradation, Teflon-type coating fume release, or ceramic glaze leaching. Lamson's slotted turner is comparable to mid-range commercial brands like Winco or Update; it lacks the premium certifications or transparency of higher-end brands like Zwilling but also avoids niche materials or coatings associated with unknown risks.
If you buy it
Hand wash this turner instead of using a dishwasher to prevent handle degradation or loosening of the rivets over time. Avoid prolonged contact with temperatures above 180 degrees Celsius (356 Fahrenheit) if the handle is polypropylene, though occasional contact during cooking presents lower concern. Replace the turner if the handle begins to crack, discolor, or emit odors, as these indicate polymer breakdown. Stainless steel itself requires no special maintenance beyond rinsing and drying.
