Product Review
Award-winning chef-restaurateur Tom Douglas and Amazon.com introduce a line of multi-functional gadgets that will inspire home chefs and build confidence in the kitchen. This four-piece spatula 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. While the bittersweet-chocolate-colored spatula heads are silicone, the long, smooth handles are hollow stainless steel and sport convenient hanging holes on the ends. The set contains a large spatula, a medium spatula, a small scraper, and a large spoon-shaped spatula. All are dishwasher-safe and heat-resistant to between 428 and 480 degrees F.
Tom's Tips
- Mixing ingredients is a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen, and the small scraper spatula in this set is a perfect size for little hands.
- The spoon-shaped spatula is attractive enough to double as a serving spoon for hot or cold dishes at casual dinner parties.

This review is from: Tom Douglas by Pinzon 4-Piece Stainless-Steel Spatula Set, Bittersweet Chocolate (Kitchen)
I bought these for two reasons, 1. Tom Douglas is our local Top Name Chef and I want to support the home town guy. 2. They looked like the best deal and decent quality.
I was so pleased when I pulled them out. I washed them and went to testing. The first thing I noticed and liked was how sturdy and heavy the they are. Really solid heavy....I hate the two bar super light ones because you can't feel the food when you're working it. The next surprise was the silicone was securely sealed and tight. These don't pull off which I love! Being a deadly bacteria hater I appreciate not having to use a pipe cleaner on my spatulas. The connection from silicone to metal handle was sealed on the outside so no junk will stick in.. easy clean up!
The pictures don't do justice to the size or depth of the set. First thing to know IT HAS A SPOONULA you just can't see it well in the picture. The largest spatula is huge, like Catholic school paddle huge. I have never seen one so big...Read more

I bought these to replace cheap wooden handled ones, and I'm glad I did. When I first opened them I said "now that's a spatula" After using them to make various dishes I can say that these will probably outlast me. I wear an XXL glove and these fit well in my hand. They have a good weight and when I made pasta salad, scalloped potatoes, and a heavy cookie batter, I felt I could stir without fear of breaking them. They clean up well and store just as nice. A welcome addition to my kitchen. My old spatulas quickly made it to the garage and are now used as paint can scrapers.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is a really good deal. Compared to very cheap ones I have, the silicone part seems to be made of the same material, but the handles (on the other cheap ones) are plastic on the cheap set.
So there really isn't much to say about the functional part.
But if you have a reason to want stainless steel handles, then this is a good buy.
The quality is good. I overheated one by accident and I've used the dishwasher with them and there is not even sign of wear.
There are no instructions to speak of and the packaging is minimal (which I think is nice and not wasteful).
So in the end, since the price is so reasonable on these, there is no reason not to get them.
