Patelai 2 Pack 5-in-1 Silicone Utensil Set, Multifunctional Cooking Spoon

My mother in law gave me one and I use all the time. Ordered the pair for another home and gave one to my daughter, she loves it too.

Love these would recommend

I loved the idea that I could use just one utensil for many things while cooking. I usually find that I reach for it often.Things I like: multi-use tool; easy clean in dishwasher: Turner side is better “scoop” than the “spoon” sideThings I don’t like: it stains (staining seems to fade a little after washing but mac and cheese turn it yellow); the quality seems a little cheap (edges aren’t clean, they have extra plastic from the mold still around the edges, mine had a piece that I cut off); the middle where you hold could be a bit more rounded for ease of hold (where you hold is flat like the whole thing); the green spatula seems to have thin spots where it’s attached to the base (mine has a spot where I can see through to the handle — I haven’t used the green spatula side yet due to this); many people don’t like the product and thus you are more likely to get a “used” one like I didOverall, this is still a very handy tool to have. Considering there are many different listings for the same product and this one gives you 2 for slightly lower price, if these wear out I will probably buy again.

First and foremost problem the spatula end has already started to melt in the food while cooking eggs. Does everything! but nothing well. If I was taking this camping or using in an RV where I was carrying one utensil and one utensil only... On second thought I would still probably take something else.

I was skeptical. I thought these would probably be flimsy and cheap and melt easily. They are not. In a drawer full of frustrating cooking tools, these (I have 2 now!) are my favorite items. They are sturdy, they are designed well, so they work with the contours of all my various pans. They include the little drain-spoon which works great for checking if the pasta is al dente yet. They do what 4 other tools would do….and they do it better.

Cooking ability, size, functional, heat resistance

I wanted to LOVE this but it doesn’t fit my hand! It was made to be a versatile tool and while I applaud that thought, I find it falls short and will probably find the way to the back of my kitchen drawer until I finally donate it.The ‘cutting’ edge would work well for a left-handed person. Because I’m not, I’ll have to cut this backwards if I choose to use this feature, which I won’t. (In the second photo, you can see the serrated edge at the top of the utensil.)The ‘strainer/slotted’ end (on both pieces I received) has a slight flaw instead of being smooth. This will be more than aggravating if I grab this to stir with, which I won’t. (In both photos, but especially the first, you can see the flaw at the bottom point of the utensil.)Another reason ‘I won’t’ use the strainer/slotted end is because of same reason I won’t use cutting edge. It’s backwards to a right-handed person. If you’re left-handed, this end might work well for you.The ‘spoon’ end appears well-made and solid but, because the strainer/slotted end is so wide, I will have to use this by either gripping that end in my hand (not a good option if you remember the slightly serrated edge on this end, plus it’s too wide) or positioning my hand very close to the spoon end, which I won’t.I don’t know when I’ve been more disappointed in a product.

Noticed after a few uses, the plastic was no longer smooth, looked like it wore out quickly.
