I bought these because of the price. When I received them, I was shocked at how sturdy the are! I was expecting them to be extremely flimsy and cheap. But this is one instance where I can say, I got more than I paid for! The material they are made from is very thick. The shorter spoon is perfect for anytime use, the longer spoon is longer than I expected but it is perfect to use when making sauces. I have no complaints and am very happy that I bought them.

This product is excellent. Thank God for MIU,where have you been. These spoon are great and the spatulas are even better. Get more peoducts from this company. Jay

Liked the first set so much that after we moved and I came up one spoon short.....I immediately went to Amazon and purchased another set...won't be without them, versitle, can use with all my pots and pans.....cast iron, Le Creuset and teflon coated.

These heavy duty spoons are great for mixing dough and batter, for browning and breaking down ground beef and stirring stews and sauces. Yes, they discolor slightly when stirring sauces and the like, but they are "working" spoons and you can count on them to hold up for you. They are great for scraping the bottom of your stainless steal and cast iron pans. They also clean up very easily, grease doesn't even seem to cling as with other cooking spoons.

They are big spoons, but it's one of the factors that make them great for the heavy duty jobs. The larger spoon has a noticeably thick handle and you may find yourself "fisting" it when using it, but you will have confidence that it will stand up to any pressure you put on it. And the extra long handle is great for scraping the bottom of tall pitchers (such as the 4 quart Tupperware pitcher) and deep pots. The smaller one is much more manageable, but feels just as tough.

It is possible to damage these spoons - IF you are foolish enough to expose them directly to high heat for an extended time, like me. I have a tendency to turn on the front burner when attempting to heat water in the kettle on the back burner. On one of those occasions I had my cast iron flat pan on the front burner with the smaller spoon sitting on it. The spoon was exposed to possibly 10 minutes of the highest heat (the pan's food remains were black and smoldering) and the spoon suffered an ugly divot where it was in direct contact with the pan. But it appears to have left nothing behind on my pan. The handle that was in contact with the edge of the pan was fine and the damage that was done did not spread beyond the contact point.

I rarely give anything "top" stars (nothing's perfect, right?). Since they are bulky and can stain (slightly), that's reason enough for me to not give 5 stars.

Still, I like these so much, I just ordered another set.

Update: I received my new set today and, oddly enough, they are not a true blue like the last ones. They are more of a teal color. Personally, I'm fine with that since I actually wanted a different color in order to maybe have different uses for them. I would like to get the red ones, but not so much that I will pay three dollars more. Practicality and price are more important to me than style and color.

I ordered these because they would go in the dishwasher. I do not like to put wooden spoons through because they dry out and crack. These work well, have not melted at all, and seem to come clean very easily.

The only reason I did not give these a 5 star rating is that the larger spoon is *really big* and has a very thick handle. I still use it when I use my large soup pot, but I find the small size is much handier.

I was looking for a large spoon that was heat resistant and strong enough to stir large pots of thick soups and sauces. These spoons are terrific.

The first time we used them on Hamburger Helper they got stained with the cheese mix. Other than that they were OK, but that was the singular reason I got them. I was sick of looking at our white, sauced, stained old spoons.Now I have blue,cheese stained, spoons. Very disappointing.

I purchased this spoon set by accident as I was looking for silicone utensils. Both spoons are even better than I had hoped and I will most likely get another set soon to set aside just in case something happens to the first two. They are made of a very hard plastic and are sturdy as all heck, but you never know. I use them mostly for stirring stuff like soup (I make huge pots), stews, and oatmeal, and they have not failed me. The handle of the big one is long enough to reach the bottom of the soup pot with room to spare, and the basin is deep and holds about 1/4 cup liquid. Not bad for a spoon. Obviously, I highly recommend this product.

I like these spoons. They are a bit big and thick, but they have held up well. I wanted some nylon utensils that I could use with my non-stick cookware so it didn't get damaged. These fit the bill. They are just a bit oversized.

These spoons are great. I love the size and they do not stain
