Real talk, though, I bought this thing thinking it was one of those thin ones you use to flip eggs and shit, but it is REALLY thick:

And I was like "WTF does anyone need this for? Burgers?? I'll never use this shit".
But then I tried stirring things in my cast iron frying pan with it.
Spatulas bend and tend to slingshot food out of the pan, but this monster? Damn near as indestructible as the pan itself, AND it keeps the pan in good working order because cast iron needs to be scraped smooth regularly-- especially if you want to keep it seasoned instead of re-seasoning it after every use.
It is NOT a substitute for a real spatula, it cares not about egg yolks and lightly fried fish fillets, but damn if it wasn't one of my better $5 kitchen purchases.
I don't have time to make sure it's comprehensive and everything but I can throw some stuff together real quick:
Knives
You really only need 2, a chef's knife and serrated knife. A pairing knife is occasionally useful but rarely necessary. If you really like sharp knives, buy a whetstone and learn to sharpen, cheap knives can get just as sharp as expensive ones.
​
Pots and Pans
You need four or five things here. I'd say your mainly looking for a large saute pan, a stock pot, and a sauce pan. If you cook eggs you can grab a non-stick saute pan too. Don't use non stick pans for things that don't stick to pans. They wear out fast and they're garbage when they lose their coating. Oh and a sheet pan.

Other Shit

This is just suggestions if you don't have the stuff already, I think the real bottom line is that the stuff you already have is likely fine, and being a good cook is about knowledge and technique and putting effort into tasty food for people you care about, not gear.
A metal spatula costs less than ten bucks. Screw "the principle" of the thing, I'd just buy one and tell everyone "we're using this now."
If you have an Amazon account, this one is fairly inexpensive and works well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VZAKGM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's not as large or perfectly balanced as the pancake flipper many people recommend, but it's also 1/6 the price. For $5, it's great. You do want to sand down the sharp corners so they're not digging valleys in your seasoning - takes less than 3 minutes with a grinder or rasp.
Winco 6"x3" hamburger turner: This thing is heavy and not flexible. Winco is generally great, they make no-frills heavy duty products and restaurants use them. They make different size versions of the same spatula. If you want to spend more, it looks like Amazon sells fancier brands with nicer wooden handles.
It's probably too thick for eggs, but then spatulas good for eggs are gonna be bendy and not the best for flipping meats. For that a fish turner like this woud be more appropriate.
These two both have wooden handles, meaning putting them in the washer is gonna weaken the products. If that's an issue, look for spatulas with plastic handles.
I don't know the dimensions on that turner, but these look similar.
