This fabulous set makes a great gift for a cook just realizing the benefits of silicone. A flexible, heat-resistant, colorfully-tinted material, silicone makes the perfect spatula head-it bends smoothly to scoop batter out of bowls, it can scramble eggs in a nonstick frying pan, and it can baste hot roasts. Best of all, silicone utensils go right into the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
This set from Pinzon includes seven utensils: a large spatula, two medium spatulas, two small scrapers, a large spoon-shaped spatula, and a basting brush. The heads are silicone, while the long, smooth handles are hollow stainless steel with hanging holes on the ends. If not hung, the utensils look attractive stored in the brushed stainless-steel, double-walled canister included with the set. The silicone heads on these items are heat resistant to between 428 and 480 degrees F. --Ann Bieri

love these!:
This is some of the best money spent for my kitchen. Not only are the individual spatulas (and brush) nice, but the heavy container holds much more than the included pieces. My only small complaint is that the silicon heads do occasionally detach, particularly when working with shortening and I wish there were two of the spoon-curved items!
Sooo many rubber spatulas:
Nice quality, but let's be honest. Who the heck needs that many rubber spatulas. I use them maybe once a week, so that doesn't justify me having 8 of them. No complaints about the product itself though...
Good! But metal handles clang & clank on glass jars.:
UPDATE: When left submerged in water, water seeps into the hollow handles. Later, when up-ended, the water drains into the canister holder -- leaving rust stains (from stainless steel!). I still like 'em; I am just a little more careful (and have inserted a folded paper towel in bottom of canister to catch any drip I missed). Tue, 24 June 2008. I use them. I like them. They clean up easily and in a foolproof manner -- never have to rewash any of them because some food is still caked on somewhere.more info
Really nice set:
I bought this for my daughter who is moving "off campus" and needs to set up a kitchen for the first time. When it came, I "claimed" a few of the spatulas (as it comes with a gazillion of them)and have used them almost every day since. Really nice long comfy handles.
