OXO Good Grips 5-Piece Nylon Tool Set

I live alone and tend to avoid any complications in food prep and cleanup. I make lots of soup in the microwave using large 2 qt pyrex measuring cups or on the stove using non-stick pots. I have several spatulas and spoons for cooking but I prefer a spoon of no scratch materials. This spoon is large enough for a good sized pot of soup, pasta, rice, potatoes or grits. It is seamless at all food contact surfaces (below the handle, which is only for design purposes)leaving a long clean shaft for food contact to avoid contamination from hidden residual dirt and rigid enough to be very functional, unlike the seamless Orka Silicone Spoon that I purchased previously-- that spoon had no interior stiffener like Orka's excellent spatulas and with very little use became too limber to be comfortable when using with anything other than plain liquid. Nylon is naturally rigid and it is an excellent inert material that does not transfer chemicals to your food (its commonly used in labs and chemical plants). The good grips spoon is a little larger than I prefer but is even functional for use as a soup spoon after cooking to keep cleanup to a 1 pot, 1 spoon minimum. What?? I clean up well enough to be taken to town and I try to avoid such obvious hot buttons at home when my girl friend is here. And if I can't change my underwear, I ALWAYS swap front to back and inside out on alternate days! Sorry Ma.Good item, good price! Go Oxo! Go Amazon!

Outstanding. I don't think I could be any more pleased with this Oxo Good Grips 5-Piece Nylon Tool Set if it were to get up and cook the food for me itself.Pasta spoon: Picks up spaghetti like no other pasta spoon I ever had. Tough enough to lift what you need, but smooth enough to let it go when you want to plate up your meal.Slotted spoon: Great length, nice amount of holes in the spoon while managing to keep bigger things within the grasp of the utensil. Just what it should do. Perfect.Regular spoon: Again, terrific length and reach, lots of space on the spoon, it's my new go-to for stirring and whatnot.The two spatulas: One has a smaller handle and a really long head, so you can scoop up tons of stuff on it at short range, like a plateful of french fries or hash browns. The other has a much longer handle for reaching ease, or if you want to poke at a pan of steaming spinach from a longer distance and not burn your hand off in the process. Both of them are fantastic, easily my favorites of the bunch. Worth the price of admission alone!I think that says it all. This would've been a bargain at twice the price, but the great value I got on it only seals the deal. Five great implements, five big stars.

This spoon is the favorite one on my utensil rack. It's sturdy, easy to hold, and the handle's long enough I don't have to get too close to the boiling pot when I use it. I know it's dishwasher safe, but I wash it right after using and rarely put it in the dishwasher because I use it every day and my dishwasher doesn't load up for a couple of days. (Wouldn't dream of running it without a full load, you know.) My daughter came over for dinner the other night and was helping me serve up the food and found this spoon and said, "What a great spoon!" She's an artist, not a homemaker, so coming from her, this is unusual praise. Anyway, Oxo Good Grips is a great line of well-made, easy on the hands products and I've got a wee bit of arthritis that occasionally makes grabbing things painful, so I love this spoon very much and highly recommend it.

Overall, a quality set of kitchen tools. They are a little bit larger than I was expecting them to be. I had a similar set from a number of years ago but those are probably a 1/4" smaller in the size at the tool head. Not a big deal but the newer versions are a little bulkier so is a tighter fit in my utensils holder. They seem to be holding up well and haven't had anything melt on me yet so that's pleasant. Handles are sculpted nicely and easy to hold.

I have used a few of these for years and had no problem with them except when once I left one too close to the burner, which was my fault. As far as the 250 degrees thing, this spatula has no problem being used in much hotter pans so long as it doesn't get left in there. No spatula except an all steel one should be left in the oven or in a hot pan. Even in that case I can't see leaving it in there since it would just get too hot to handle. I use the spatula, then take the spatula out whenever I am done using it so I've never had a problem with melting. Any other nylon spatula which would do the same thing if exposed to high heat for a long time. That's why they don't make the pans out of nylon.Some nice things about this spatula:* it is a good size, not too small* head/handle are one piece (the cheapies are often multiple pieces which always come apart after a while)* perfectly stiff (which is what I want in a turner... I don't have much use for the soft flexible ones that flop around when you try to use it and bend under the weight of the food).

There are two products called "Oxo Good Grips Nylon Spaghetti Server". The more expensive one, with ASIN: B00004OCOI, makes and EXCELLENT BACK-SCRATCHER. No, really. Oxo should also market them as back-scratchers. It has a long handle with a sticky rubber grip so you can hold on to it easily. But the best part is the stiff "fingers" that wrap around so they all point in the same direction, each one with a fingernail-sharp outside edge. Which means, as a back-scratcher, it works just as good from side to side as it does up and down. I'm not kidding around. Really good back-scratcher!But, like I said, there are two products called "Oxo Good Grips Nylon Spaghetti Server". The less expensive one, with ASIN: B003L0OOWQ, makes a really bad back-scratcher. When I sent for a second B00004OCOI model from "Life and Home", I received the cheaper B003L0OOWQ model, in a bag with a B003L0OOWQ sticker on it. I was not amused. Amazon gave me my money back.Oh, ye. It also works good as a spaghetti server.

The material is good. But the handle is too long . Therefore it is not sturdy and doesn't balance itself well.

Bien. Mais les dimensions indiquées sur l'annonce sont incorrectes : la cuillère ne fait évidemment pas 91 cm de long ! Elle fait plutôt 36 cm...

Oxo are the best kitchen gadgets you could buy, really good

Perfecto !! es un material resistente y se le de buena calidad me ha encantado.... tengo varias cosas de esta misma marca

This whole range of utensils is worthy of your attention. Invariably well engineered design, solid construction, quality materials and a pleasing utilitarian feel. Own loads of the collection, my favourites being the salt and pepper grinders and the corn prongs. 10 out of 10, Oxo.
