The spatualas work fairly well. I have used them to scape both curved bowls and straight edged jars clean. Scraping the flat bottoms of tall jars is a little awkward and inefficient because the tips of the spatulas are so curved. The sides of jars are easy to scrape though because one side of the spatulas is straight. The shape of the spatulas and the stainless steel handles are attractive and the spatulas are very easy to pull apart and clean. The spatulas, at least the white ones, do stain very easily though. The first time I used the medium spatula, I used it to scrape a bowl clean when making pumpkin pie and it ended up stained yellow from the pumpkin. The first time I used the small spatula, I used it to scrape refridgerated pasta sauce out of a jar and it ended up stained a reddish color. So far the large spatula is still unstained, but I've only used it to fold whipped egg whites into pancake batter and to scrape a bannana smoothie out of a blender. As of yet I have not used the spatulas with anything hot, so I cannot say how well they hold up under heat.

Spread the news (pun intended) Cuisipro has the best spatulas to be found. I went searching for a replacement for my old spatula with the broken and torn rubber blade expecting to find a duplicate that would last until next time. How surprised I was to find this set!
Rather than the rubber blade that tends to bend and break after use and dunkings in the dishwasher, these blades are made of silicone. They don't pick up food colors or absorb odors. (Blend that garlic dip and see).
The handles are an attractive brushed stainless steel, and the set comes in a rainbow of colors: White, Clear, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red.
In addition, the end is perfectly shaped to follow the curve of a bowl. (Remember the old rectangular ends?)
Weekend cooks and professional chefs would be delighted to have these!

The handles are quite light for steel. They have a fantastic satin finish, so they're very smooth to the touch. There are no hard edges to dig in if you're stirring heavy batters for a while, which is particularly nice on my tendonitis. They also have small hanging hooks in case you want to hang them up and out of the way. The spatulas are also entirely dishwasher-safe, and we haven't noticed even a tiny bit of rust after running them through the dishwasher (isn't it disturbing how many supposedly dishwasher-safe things come out of the dishwasher with rust on them?).

The fact that the handles extend so far into the spatula heads is partially a plus--it's sturdy, and helps to reinforce the silicone. It's also a minus, however, as it negates some of the flexibility of the silicone heads that allows you to do things like perfectly scrape down the curve of a bowl. This isn't a real problem with the largest of the spatulas; its head is large enough that the handle ends up being mostly along one edge, so you just use the other edge. The smallest of the spatulas, however, really isn't very flexible. There are still plenty of things it's useful for, however; some jobs work better with a less flexible spatula.

The silicone of the heads is remarkably sturdy for being so flexible. I've noticed no discoloration from spicing, and the material seems unlikely to tear so far. It's also relatively "non-stick"--by which I mean that dust doesn't seem to collect on it as easily, and dough and batter don't seem to cling to it as much as they do to a spoon or different sort of spatula. We put the famed heat resistance (they're supposed to be heat resistant to 750 degrees F/400 C!) to the test by using them in a recipe that involved boiling water, steaming, and roasting at 450 F, and they looked the same after we were done as they did when we started.

I was surprised to find that the spatulas were far more efficient than spoons at mixing batters and doughs together, particularly when combined with Cuisipro's mixing bowls. The Irish soda bread rolls we made came together in just a few strokes, and when you're making that sort of dough it's imperative that you don't overmix.

This set is a little more expensive than other sptulas, but they are well made. It's acutually more expensive to buy them separately, so I decided to buy the set.

The rubber part is made of good quality material. This style of these spatulas is considered as modern/contemporary. I love them. I use them to stir in pans, or to spread iceing. It's money worth paid!!!

These are very sturdy. The handles are brushed metal, but they give a good grip due to the shape of them. The rubber part comes off, so you can throw just that in the dishwasher if you're worried about the metal. Nicely angled sides- one flat, one curved. From the small to the big, there is a size for just about anything you need. They came with a little chain loop on the top, so you can hang them on the wall with all of the stuff that you use a lot. I really like them.

I am sure these will outlive me and my kid will inherit these one day. I got the white ones in 2003 as a wedding present. They have outworn the Cusinart spatulas I have by a mile. They haven't stained, they work even in high heat applications, and the 3 sizes are all I have ever needed for scraping out anything from cake batter to the smallest condiment jars. The metal loop on the end makes them easy to hang with my other bigger kitchen utensils. They still look as good as the day I got them.

My only minor complaint is that because of their sleek metal handles, they can be harder to grasp than a wooden handle spatula if you have anything wet or greasy on your hands. This problem could be solved by adding a grip of some sort, although that might detract from their good looks.

Dishwasher safe. Won't melt up to 600F.

Puky green color.
