I like any tool that keeps me from having to make another tool dirty. I can use this to mix what I'm going to cook and then use it to stir it as I cook it.

I commonly use my food processor to chop vegetables or herbs. Then I use this spatula (or the similar one with the straight blade) to scrape everything out of the food processor bowl. Then I use the same spatula to stir the ingredients in the skillet or pan. I have accidentally left this spatula in a kettle of stew for over 5 minutes. Other plastic spatulas would have melted (I know from experience). The OXO was not affected.

The spoon shape and larger-than-normal size of this spatula make it excellent for folding beaten egg whites.

As with (almost) all OXO tools I love the grippy handles and ergonomic feel.

This is a great kitchen tool... didnt know how helpful it would be until i got it. That it isnt metal and is heat safe to 400 degrees is wonderful! (there are some rated to higher temps, but for me this one has worked out great)

It is comfortable to use and easy to clean. Even when i have left it in a pan of scambled eggs and not cleaned it or a good while, i dont have to soak it to get any remaining *residue* off..

I have found the one with one rounded and one straight edge a bit better for *scraping* the sides of pans and bowls but that might just be apersonal preference as i have both. if i only had one i think i would get this one because it is better for mixing and almost as good for stirring hot pots.

a great value for the price.

This is a very versital spatula. I bought the spatula for the handle. The flexible rubber fins on the steel handle create a very comfortable feel and will NOT transport heat up the handle. The oversized grips create a very "ergonomic" feel and fits my hands without having to tightly grip the handle.

The spoon head is very flexible and yet sturdy. It can be used to stir the stiffist pancake mix and yet still clean the side of the bowl smooth. It can also go from normal room temperatures to stirring the soup, sauce or chili without fear of the blade melting or leaving "that plastic taste" in the pot.

A great product with flexible uses and a staple in my kitchen.

The ultimate spatula. I have ordered several in this series, but this is the first that I have used. It is great. Even for non coated pots/pans, this utensil can get down to the fire and come out like new. A very impressive tool. It follows the contour of your pan without trying to scrape through to the burner, and makes it to the dishwasher unscathed. There are a few things that a steel spatula are needed for, but this gem will handle the rest of the tasks, while keeping all of your cookware looking like new.

I bought this thinking it would be better than all the cheap supermarket spoon/spatulas. It is worse - the head is not sealed to the handle and batter / food / grease / whatever gets in the slot where the head and handle connect and is impossible to get out - soaking, dishwasher on heat boost - nothing works. Also, 400 deg limit is iffy when using on the stove - 600 deg limit is much better. Mine curled a bit when used on the stove, but since it had a permanent reservoir of filth, I tossed it anyway. Better to splurge on the ones from Pampered Chef.

We love this spatula, does exactly what it should and cleans up beautifully. Seems to be very well made, as well.

Silicone is a great product for heat resistant spatulas. I would prefer a more squared-off design of the "spoon" to keep food from scorching when stirring hot items. A squared-off bottom would also make scraping from bowl or pan more efficient. The dark handle keeps food stains from showing, allowing it to look "new" longer since the silicone "spoon" sheds stains.

I didn't buy it on Amazon, I bought it in Bed Bath & Beyond. I don't know whether it is the store's problem or what, the spatula has this horrible cheap perfume smell. I didn't realize this until I used it to stir the corn soup(since it's heat resistant and my pot is non-stick), and the soup tasted like perfume. Afterwards, I tried to wash it with detergent, soaked it in hot soapy water, nothing would make the smell go away. So buyers be aware, check the smell of the spatula before you use it.

I liked these, so I purchased a couple of them. But after about 6 months or so, the bottom half of the two-piece handles came unglued, first one, than the other, rendering them useless. I tried to find a way to glue them, but the handle is ridged inside with large hollow spaces, so I couldn't come up with an effective repair. Also, I didn't like that the handles trapped dirt and water, which would slowly leak out. The blade, which is removable (for cleaning) is too stiff and inflexible and rather thick, so it does not scrape cleanly. It is too stiff and cut very rounded on the end, not very spoon-shaped, so does not seem to fit the corners and rounded places in bowls very well. Because it is removable, it will sometimes fall off during use. I would have preferred a more squared-off spoon blade. It is good for cooking, as the silicone won't scratch a non-stick pan and it is stiff/large enough to stir effectively, but it's hard to scrape the bottom of pans, since it's so rounded. The handle is comfortable, but very bulky, taking up much more room in the drawer than a flat one. The spatula is slightly over 12", end to end, so may not fit in some drawers. I would not buy again. I hope this helps.

My spouse is in culinary school, so we go through a lot of different kitchen implements. When it comes to spatulas, this is our mutual favorite. Due to the placement of the spine of the spatula, it is very sturdy - much studier than spatulas which place the spine at the edge of the spatula. Although we've since bought extras, our first one - purchased back in 2006 - is still going strong. It's not stained or warped or otherwise damaged.
