Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Le Creuset's brightly colored, virtually indestructible silicone spatulas created a buzz when they were first introduced. Now this set combines six red ones in a complementary stoneware storage crock. Not only will these spatulas serve every cooking need, but they'll add a splash of color to any kitchen. Durable, flexible, and stain-resistant, the spatulas endure incredible temperatures--800 degrees F and 425 degrees C--without melting or discoloring. The spatulas: one tapered, slotted spoon spatula (3-1/2 inches long and 2-1/2 inches wide at its base); two solid spoon spatulas (3-1/2 inches by 2-5/8 inches and 2-7/8 inches by 2-1/8 inches); and three scraping spatulas of different widths (2 inches, 1-3/8 inches, and 1 inch). The handsome red crock stands 5-7/8 inches high, and its flared mouth is 5 inches in diameter, providing plenty of room for tools other than the spatulas. The spatulas' heads slide off their wooden handles to go into a dishwasher, but hand washing is more convenient. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars ...and HeatProof, to boot!, March 10, 2002

I love the spatulas AND the crock. At first I was wary, I didn't think they would be heatproof. These babies are great to 800 fahrenheit. You can take off the spatula part and throw it in the dishwasher so the wooden handle doesn't need to get washed. Purely amazing.

The variety of spatulas is nice. I like the fact that they give you a slotted one. The spatula-part is dense - its not overly flexible - just flexible enough where you need it. I don't think I've ever seen a more perfect spatula.

The crock has a balanced center of mass. It doesn't tip over easy. Very nice. Color (I have the red ones) is a beautiful red. It goes great in my black & white & maple kitchen.

Worth every penny. I use them daily.

I purchased these along with a Le Crueset pot from Amazon. I never imagined though, that these would see daily use and the pot would only be used once in a while!

First off, their heatproof nature makes them superior than just about any pot-stirrer I've tried - wooden spoons don't let you scrape down the sides of a pot the way these spatulas let you. I've made perfect roux, and great gravy with these. Scrambled eggs, stir frying in a hot wok - these spatulas are true kitchen workhorses.

They're easy to clean - even when I made candy with them, the hardened sugar slid off the plastic with ease. (I wish the same could have been said for the pot I made it in.)

There are a few downsides. I'd say "virtually indestructible" is not an accurate description. Sure, they're heatproof - I think it'd take a blowtorch to melt these. However, they can easily be nicked. Be careful if you're using these to scoop out the contents of a blender, for example - the blade can too easily gouge out a piece of the silicon. This is not a fatal thing, though, and the spatula is still excellent despite its wound.

I've found the removable handle to be a mixed blessing. Make sure the spatula is firmly assembled before stirring anything thick - I've had them come apart a couple of times when I was rushing to get something done, and the tip went for a whirl in the KitchenAid mixer. However, if you have the rubber piece firmly on to begin with, this is not an issue.

The crock itself is beautiful - I love having all of my commonly used tools displayed near my work area. This crock is big enough to hold the spatulas and a few other key items. (I keep my Microplane grater, a ball whisk, and a few other things in mine along with the spatulas.) The red is a joyful, energetic color - but also very loud. The color swatch on Amazon only hints at how powerful a red color this is.

I have a habit of using spatulas kind of like spoons when I am cooking. I leave them on the edge of the pan, stir, scrape, leave the kitchen, stir, scrape, you get the idea. Not only do these spatulas supremely scrape every last morsel out of your pan, bowl, whatever, they can be heated up to 800 degrees (or 1000 degrees for the newest ones- personally 800 degrees was just fine with me), so they are virtually indestructible - you would have to sit up nights thinking about ways to destroy them, they are that solid. I find that I use the little one the most - not the tiniest, which is good for scraping small things, but the next smallest, which I have found to be the most versatile. Mine met its end only because I accidentally threw it away with vegetable peelings - it has since been replaced. I also like the spoon spatula a lot since you really can use it like a spoon, it is sort of a spoon/spatula - the best of both. And, as I mentioned before, if you cook with nonstick pans and don't want to scratch them up, these spatulas make great stirrers - and they won't melt! A good investment in your kitchen.
