Tovolo Silicone Mixing Spoon - Charcoal

I brought my old Tovolo spoon with me to finish preparing my part of a holiday meal with my family. My mom admired it, and I told her it really was a great spoon, my favorite to cook with, in fact. Since she liked it so much, I bought one to give her for Christmas, plus an extra one for myself, so I’ll have a second one when my old one is in the dishwasher!The silicone spoon part is the perfect amount of hardness. It won’t bend and flop like a flimsy spatula. It’s sturdy enough that you can use it to break up semi-frozen ground beef or scrape some stuck-on mixture out of a corner of a skillet, but it won’t scratch your pot in any way. Since it’s silicone, you don’t have to worry about it melting either. (I’ve probably tested that part more than I should, but know it handles heat really well.)The metal handle is surprisingly comfortable and easy to hold. It grips well and doesn’t tire out your hand. It doesn’t get hot either.Like I said before, I have another Tovolo spoon almost identical to this one (except it’s red instead of gray). I’ve had it for years, and it’s my go-to spoon to cook with. I run it through the dishwasher every time too. It’s held up really well.

I love this spoon, but don't by it expecting it to be the "do everything" spoon in your kitchen. The silicone cup piece is a little thick and shallow and lies straight in line with the handle. For that reason it can be hard to serve with. Don't expect to be able to scoop things unless they stick together, like risotto. Mostly I use it for heavier duty tasks like mixing cookie dough or chili.The construction is very solid, no gap between the silicone and stainless steel. It is really nice looking and since it is silicone and steel there is never any worry of melting. The only caution is that if you rest the metal handle against the edge of non-stick pot you can chip the finish. Not a huge concern, but it has happened once.In the end of the day I love this implement, but do also make sure that you have a spoon with more scoop to it.

All time favorite spoons for cooking. Extremely sturdy, doesn't scratch, doesn't stain, easy to clean, dishwasher safe, well priced - what else do you want in a spoon.... I have a black one and a grey one and use every single day.

Nice design and works very well. Easy to clean.

Not for scooping, for mixing.

Overall, this is a good spoon. It works well for soups, mixing batter, serving casseroles, and all the other good stuff you would normally use a spoon like this for. The silicone part of the spoon has enough give to scrape, but it still more then rigid enough. The construction seems solid too. I don't expect the handle to separate from the silicone anytime soon.If there is one problem I have with the spoon it would be in the design with the metal handle. Leave it in a pot of soup and you will not be able to hold it for a little while. This is a very easy problem to avoid, and I can't honestly think of an way around this issue, as silicone alone would not be strong enough.I will be using this spoon in the kitchen for as long as it will hold up. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I purchased some nice non-stick pots and pans that I suppose can tolerate metal utensils but would definitely prefer these silicone ones. They are really non-stick as well so cleaning them is super easy. I don't have to worry about scratching the bottom of the pan. The upside to silicone products is that they are easier to clean than wood (which you can hardly get wet and probably shouldn't use soap on) and they won't melt over time like plastic. I absolutely adore these utensils. The handle is made out of a nice sturdy metal that does not heat up (unless I suppose you left it right on the burner but who would do that?!)

This is so great for making scrambled eggs. I can get the edges of the pan and still keep the spoon from burning. I tried one at a friend's house and now I want several of these, but maybe in more fun colors if I can find them.

Love the look of this Tovolo line. The quality is very good. The handle is strong, the spoon is gentle on all your cookware, and it cleans up so nicely by hand or in the dishwasher.
