Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Everyone equates quality and innovative design functionality with OXO products and for good reason. This silicone spatula is no different. I purchased this one because I was so tired of the nylon plastic spatulas. The edges melt if you use them in a pan that's too hot and then you can't flip an egg and you're wondering how much of that is now in your food. The great thing about silicone is that it can handle the heat. You know the old saying, if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen! This baby belongs in the kitchen and the more you use it, the more you'll appreciate it's simplistic design and functionality. The silicone can be dropped into boiling oil and never flinch. It's flexible, which is great when trying to get under something you're cooking. Plus, the edge is tapered, so it's easy to get under a fried egg or a pancake, but is reinforced with a piece of steel inside the silicone, so it can also dish it out. Literally. I know it won't last forever, but it's sure making a run for it. This spatula is the first one I reach for when I'm cooking and has easily outlasted all the other's I've purchased for cooking in my non-stick pans. If it ever wears out, I'm running to Amazon and ordering another one. It's that good. ***UPDATE*** Well, it's been 1 year since I purchased this turner and it finally broke. Almost a year of daily use, so that's not bad. I'll definitely be buying a new one. Not sure how they could resolve the issue, but it's exactly the same problem I had with my original purchase. There is a piece of metal (it's actually the entire turner) which is covered in silicone. This keeps it from damaging your non-stick cookwear and the silicone gives it the heat protection. However, there is an additional edge, along three sides, where it's just tapered silicone. The metal underneath the silicone eventually breaks through the silicone and starts to come through. I took a couple of photos to show, but can't find a way to attach them to my review. If you know of a way, let me know!
