It depends on how the spatula is used.
A spatula may be used as a first class lever (fulcum in the middle), when the handle of the spatula is placed on the edge of the pan and the edge of the pan is used as a fulcrum to lift the load on the spatula paddle. In this case, the fulcrum (the edge of the pan) is in the middle, in between the effort (from the hand) and the load (on the spatula paddle).
A spatula maybe used as a second class lever (load in the middle), when the edge of the spatula paddle touches the bottom of the pan and is being used as a fulcrum to lift the load on the spatula paddle. In this case the load (on the spatula paddle) is in the middle, between the fulcrum (the edge of the spatula paddle touching the pan) and the effort (from the hand).
A spatula combined with the arm may be used as a third class lever (effort in the middle), when the wrist or elbow is used as a fulcrum and the spatula is used to carry a load on the paddle . In this case, the effort (from the hand or forearm) is in the middle, between the load (on the spatula paddle) and the fulcrum (the wrist or elbow).
