The 3-piece set includes a small and medium spatula, as well as a large spoon-style silicone spatula to take care of all your cooking needs! They’re heat resistant up to 500 degrees F and they feature durable plastic handles with holes for hanging. You can always count on these crystal-blue silicone spatulas to stay fresh and clean, as they’re odor resistant and dishwasher safe. A similar product on the market is the MIU silicone spatulas that come in a pack of 4, with pretty pastel colors and an attractive price. So let’s look at the whole picture now.
While these spatulas received favorable reviews, many product owners preferred the Wilton spatulas, as they feature different sized spatulas and include the popular spoon-style piece. Plus, reviewers enjoyed the sturdy plastic handles in place of the polypropylene ones. Online reviews are positive and customers love the price, as for under $10, you get three high-quality kitchen tools. Product owners also love the smooth, rounded edges and super flexible tips that wash off easily with a bit of water. There were a few negative complaints however, as some product owners had their kitchen spatulas snap within the first few uses. Fortunately, the company offers a 30-day return, so if the handles break early on, you can return them for a refund. Overall, this Wilton Easy Flex Silicone Spatula Set is a great buy for those who are busy cooks and want something durable and affordable to mix batters and scrape the sides of pans.

OXO Balloon Whisk Is Perfectly Shaped To Provide Maximum Aeration
September 5th, 2018
When you need a whisk, wire whisks are more productive than plastic whisks. The Good Grips 11″ balloon whisk claims to offer ten wire loops which do not contact one another at any point, making it perfect whisk for whisking. The ergonomics of the whisk offer great abilities to whisk anything. With the larger stainless steel wires on the whisk, you can use it and clean it without it being a health risk because of leftover food. The balloon whisk is very sturdy and is the perfect medium size for eggs, gravy, or smaller items. It is safe to use in the dishwasher. This balloon whisk is well made, with ferrule joined seamlessly with the wires.
Because of this design, no food is trapped inside which makes the whisk easier to clean and alleviates the risk of rust. It has great seals at the base of the wires. This is particularly important because it keeps the whisk sanitary by alleviating the risk of pieces getting caught inside. The handle has a contoured grip which makes it easy to hold. It works well for baking, especially in larger quantities. Stainless steel looks better than rubber, with a good grip for continual whisking. The balloon shape allows the wires to adapt to the shape of the saucepan or the bowl in which it is being used. It is more viable than using a plastic kitchen whisk because it can go all around an internal surface which a plastic whisk cannot.

August 22nd, 2018
If you have never moved into your own place before, you wouldn’t understand what a blessing the OXO Good Grips 15-Piece Everyday Kitchen Tool Set can be. The OXO set has everything you need to help you cook in your first kitchen (aside from pots and pans). The kit includes everything you could need for your kitchen and really simplifies the process of collecting that first batch of kitchen tools. Some of the tools included are a swivel peeler, ice cream scoop, potato masher, can opener, balloon whisk, spatula, meat tenderizer and pizza wheel. The stainless steel safe utensil holder is dishwasher and comes with a removable drip tray.
The most common compliment is the most expected, seeing as this tool set is named “The Good Grip.” Many people are impressed with how easy it is to hold these OXO tools while working with them, particularly the plane grater and the pizza cutter. Many people are also amazed at the overall value of the set. Each individual tool comes in at just under seven dollars each, which is far cheaper than what it would cost you to collect each tool individually. The biggest complaint about this OXO set is the small container that is included with it. It’s not able to effectively store all of the tools. This is a common complaint about many of the kitchen tool sets, including the popular Kitchen Aid 17 Piece Starter Set. Many have also complained about the cost associated with this set, but there is a price on quality.

April 14th, 2018
The Microplane Professional Fine Spice Grater is the perfect tool for grating cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic. The grater features razor-sharp teeth that are widely spaced to avoid clogging.

Just like other Microplane products, this nutmeg grater features an original design, dishwasher safe parts and a strudy plastic cover.
There are few products on the market like this, especially when it comes to finding a spice grater. Norpro carries their version of a nutmeg grater that is small and compact, featuring a stainless steel blade.

The Microplane nutmeg grater has received rave reviews from product owners and is so well liked, there are no negative issues to report. Consumers felt that even with the higher cost of these nutmeg graters, they were well worth the price, as you can’t beat the patented Microplane design and the efficiency of the blades. The only thing to watch out for is that the pieces don’t rust after being placed in the dishwasher as some small parts can.
