A spatula (1) having a head (5) with channels (11) that automatically turn or flip food, such as cubed meats, ground beef, vegetables and so forth, when the food travels through the channels. As the head passes through the pieces of food, the pieces of food are forced through the C-shaped channels or grooves located on the opposing side surfaces (8) of the head. The channels are preferably curved having an opening (12) located proximate to a wedge (15) of the head, then extending over a rounded projection (13) and terminating at a rear wall (14) of the head where the food is forced to exit the channels.
