Abstract: A hamburger spatula designed for use with charcoal grills, especially adapted to allow removal of hamburgers which ooze down into the grill below the top surface without destroying the integrity of the burger. The spatula has a rear base portion extended forwardly and terminating in a series of spaced-apart tines which dwell in a lower plane than a plane defined by the surface of the base portion. The base portion has a series of indent paths on the under-surface which allow for sliding receipt of the charcoal grill rods to allow the tines to extend below the surface. The tines can then be inserted underneath a charcoaled hamburger, which might have form-fried to the grill, to scoop it off without destroying it.
