Edit: I decided to throw it out and order a new stainless steel one that’s all one piece. Thanks for the help!

    Not great for ceramic coatings though.

    Ours is like this and is at least 12 years old. I believe the plastic is over molded directly onto metal handle which sits about 1.5 cm into the plastic.

        It got slightly melted along the leading edge once, so I trimmed/files it back to make it chamfered again.

        I’m sure it sheds some microplastics, like pretty much everything, but I prefer a little of the spatula, to scraping the nonstick ceramics.

        We really only use this with a couple pans, and use metal in our cast iron, though one of our favorite metal spatulas has a plastic handle that’s been melted dozens of times from resting on the rim of the pan.
