We have all 3 sizes. The small and medium began to tear after a few months just where the tip tapers. These are metal coated with silicone. The design does not stand up after flexing so many uses and begins to split - exposing the metal inside to your nonstick surface. We loved these and are so disappointed. The largest omelet spatula is still going strong!

Skip the cheaper oxo nylon version and go with this silicone turner. This is a fantastically useful tool when baking (removing cookies from the baking sheet or the smaller loaves from a baking stone), sauteeing or stir-frying (turning and moving vegies and meats in the frying pan), flipping pancakes, and aiding in clean up, when scraping the sticky leftovers from the pan into the garbage or disposal. I use this turner with the larger model instead of a pizza peel to get pizzas off the baking stone, with a lot of success.

This tool is so handy that I've got one in each size (regular and large), and I need one more to have on hand when the others are in the dishwasher. I accidentally left my turner at a friend's house while baking cookies. I quickly got it back, but she'd already used it a few times and fell in love with it. I told her to try Amazon and get the 4-for-3 discount. And unlike the nylon version, this one handles heat without melting. The only problem with silicone is that it sometimes holds smells after washing, but luckily, it doesn't transfer smells.

These Oxo appliances are excellent, and make cooking much simpler. However, bear in mind this particular model is the smaller one. They have another bigger model.
They are both great for their independent purpuses, though.

Granted I love this smaller size spatula, but I go through one a year it seems. It's probably the most used kitchen tool in my house but over time, the metal becomes exposed and it's time to replace it.

It's so easy to clean. So heat resistant. Pretty thin at the edge so easy to get under stuff. Tight, not flabby.

I was given this as a gift to replace my Calphalon turner that turned melty after 3 months of use. I have used this OXO turner for 1 month and so far it is great. It successfully removes cookies from a pan and flips grilled cheese sandwiches plus it will not scratch your pots and pans. Highly recommended!

I really hate those plastic spatulas that are stiff and curl over at the edge after little use. This spatula isn't like that. The stiffness is almost perfect so that it flexes easily to get under food in the pan but is stiff enough to lift food out of the pan. My only complaint is that the Silicone coating will split at the leading edge if the spatula is used to cut apart food in the pan such as when scrambling hamburger. It doesn't happen right away but it will happen if you're not careful. You can use it with the split but it doesn't seem very sanitary so I usually replace it at this point. This is definitely the best non-stick spatula I have ever used.

Love this spatula, but in one year, have thrown away 2 already when the metal broke through the silicon at the curved edges. Used only for turning omelettes and saute veggies. It should last longer!!

This was a great spatula until yesterday, when we noticed the silicone had torn and the metal underneath was exposed. I came to Amazon looking for a replacement and thought I'd check out the reviews of my former spatula. To my surprise it seems like other people have had the exact same experience as me. I do not recommend this spatula at all. Yes, it worked great for awhile but now I'm very disappointed and spatula-less (and there are homemade sourdough pancakes to flip this morning!). For me it's not enough for the product to work great for a short period of time and then break. I don't want to buy one of these every 9 months or so - shouldn't a spatula last longer than that at least? Well, I'm off to do research on Amazon and buy a new spatula, one that will hopefully last longer than this Oxo piece of junk.

I love the silicone surface of this turner because it doesn't scratch my pans. I use it pretty much every day for eggs, and it does a beautiful job and cleans up easily.

Because it's meant to be flexible, it really isn't the best for jobs that require a very sturdy spatula. For most basic cooking tasks, it does just fine.

I have been using this product for about 1 year, and it's in great shape after heavy use.
