Also whenever I boil or simmer anything at all I boil the water in the kettle then add it to the pan.

Fish Spatula – Being slotted makes it extra flexible, which makes it easier to get under the fish to flip it without creating a disaster
A slotted spatula “fish spat” is an inordinately useful thing when working with delicate stuff. A lot of people say, with some justification, that tongs crush food. If you’re flipping, say, a hamburger patty or a piece of chicken or a piece of fish then a fish spat is nearly ideal.
