Silicone cooking utensils are everywhere for almost any use you can dream up, but are they any better than the plastic, stainless steel or wooden ones you have owned for years?

The Benefits of Silicone!

Fashion Forward

If you have a color coordinated kitchen, and wish for all of your utensils to follow suit, this is a major benefit of Silicone as it can be produced in almost any color under the sun.

High Heat Resistance

Silicone can withstand heats up up towards 600 degrees which is excellent for whisks, spoons spatulas, or anything that you wouldn't want to touch with your bare hands. Also, it means the utensilwont melt when dipped into the hot food like some plastic untensils might do.

Stain and Odor Resistant

You have a tomato sauce on the stove and a white plastic stirring spoon - do you use it to stir the sauce? Not unless you have a magic way to remove the orange residue from the spoon. Unlike wood and plastic, Silicone is not very porus, so smells wont seep in and foods are less likely to stain them.

Durable Non-Stick Surface

Unlike other types of baking cookware, Silicone does not break down or degrade over time. Also, due to it's rubber-like consistency you can bump it, nick it, bend it, even throw it against a wall without the likelyhood of damaging it.
