Starpack 'Mix it Up' Premium Silicone Cooking Spoons - Silicone Mixing Spoons for Baking Heat Resistant 600°F - Kitchen Spoons for Nonstick Cookware - Silicone Serving Spoons - Rubber Stirring Spoon

TL:DR -Pros:Fun Color - (not red, black, or white)Silicone outer layercomfortable to useCons:Fairly smallpicks up residue from washing easilyMy biggest pet peeves about this is that the spoon itself is fairly small even though it has a deep curvature. I also don't like how even after rinsing well it seems to show every bit of residue from washing. I often have to rinse it off again before I use it even though I know its clean.I love how long the handle is (about 12" total) and can get to the bottom of all my current pots and pans. Its obviously a hard material with a silicone outer shell. I like that because the silicone still has give, but its stiff enough to get through the thickest foodstuffs I can cook (IE: My cheese grits)Overall I would get this spoon again. The peeves are outweighed by the pros.

This spoon is the nicest utensil I have in my drawer! It's like stirring with a cloud. It glides along the bottom of my pans and stirs nicely. The handle is a bit thicker than I'm used to, but it's definitely not going to bend or break if I stir too hard. I bought the teal blue color because it's my mom's favorite color, and I was worried that it might stain from using it to stir red sauces (it doesn't). Easy to clean, too! I wish the bowl of the spoon was a bit bigger, but that's not the maker's fault (I mostly chose it for the unusual color). I would definitely buy more items from this line in the future!

Works amazing, flimsy in all the right places and hard as needed in the rest. Makes getting the sauces off the rim easy and satisfying. Perfect length and feels great in my hand. Good weight and perfectly balanced performance. 10/10 recommend.

I bought this spoon to replace a favorite of mine that is years old. I love the heftiness of this spoon, but wish the spoon was a little deeper. It is a bit shallow. However, I see this lasting a very long time, and it will get used a lot. I love the color, too.

I purchased this Starpack silicone mixing spoon two years ago, it has been in constant rotation in my utensil jar next to my cooktop. I have not experienced the issues that some other reviewers have had at all. I have two different Starpack sppons and just recieved my larger Starpack Spatula/Spoonula and am happy to report that it seems to be the same high quality as the other Starpack items I have purchased.I have had no chipping, splitting and, no handle breakage and in fact these silicone tools seem to be much heavier quality than other brands I have in my kitchen arsenal. I have a number of the Tovolo silicone utensils also, and although I would purchase those again too, I did have one piece melt after dropping through onto the coil of my dishwasher during use (not a failure of the silicone per se) and I cut one spatula on the blades of my food processer (also my fault)BUT no issues with the Starpack ones so far. I think that perhaps some of the other customers who report issues, have made silly mistakes like I did with my Tovolo pieces, or who have subjected thier tools to too much heat, rather than the tools themselves failing!Please see the info on silicone heat tolerances below - it is extremely likely that the reviewers have experienced issues due to leaving the tools in a high heat environment for lengthy times leading to hardening and then chipping. I don't cook with my silicone tools sitting in the pot, maybe others do. This would be the most likely cause of the reported issues, and just requires a different approach (I recommend purchasing the high heat version of this spoon which wasnt available when I purchased mine) for your silicone tools to last a long time.My research into the heat tolerances of silicone shows the following:If silicone is heated up to 302F you would see very little change in the silicone, even if held at this temperature for a very long time, At 392F the silicone will slowly become harder and less stretchy with time, and if the silicone was heated up to a temperature beyond 572F, you would quickly see the material become harder and less stretchy in a very short time, due to such extreme temperature conditions but it would not melt. Special grades are available to further increase silicones already naturally high resistance to heat which can be used intermittently at temperatures up to 572F.So the important take away is that the non-high heat silicone version of this tool would become brittle if heated up to 392F regularly. Especially if that temperature was held. I haven't experienced any issues with my lower heat one, but if I purchased another I would opt for the higher heat version.Special grades are reported to last if heated to 572F intermittantly - the all important word being again, intermittant! The high heat version of this Starpack Spatula/Spoonula states that it is suitable for up to 600F. This would mean intermittant 600F heat. Don't leave your silicone tools in a heated environment. Invest in a spoon rest and take the utensil out of the pot during cooking, and your silicone tools should last a long, long time (unless you use it to clean the food processor with the blades in like I did - duh)If the seller explained the intermittent heat clause then they would get a less negative reviews about chipping, splitting and snapping, I'm sure. Hope this helps!I have been known to taste test 10 different soy sauces in one sitting.

I’ve used the teal spoon for months, found it turned into my go-to spoon, so bought another one. These are good basic cooking spoons that work great, feel great, can be tossed into the dishwasher, are more hygienic than wooden spoons and are cute, to boot! These silicon spoons are great but not perfect. A wooden spoon beats them when it comes to deglazing.

The first thing I did after receiving the first one was to order another!

I'm very happy with this purchase! It's perfect for my non-stick ceramic cookware, it's comfortable to use and hold, and it's easy to clean. I measured the bowl of the spoon and it holds 2 tablespoons of water, so probably not a 'serving spoon' but definitely a great spoon for cooking and mixing. I have a different large spoon that I sometimes use for both stirring and serving and it only holds 3 tablespoons of water so this still has a good size bowl on it. I especially like that I can stand this up in an empty 14-16 ounce can of tomatoes, etc that I've used for the meal I'm making and the spoon doesn't tip over. I'm in the process of replacing all of my wooden spoons with more of these great silicone spoons!

The finishing of product is not good. The edge of spoon is not smooth and has some tiny stuffs like agnails. I don't recommend this and you better buy local cook store.
