Chef Craft 10230 1-Piece Stainless Steel Solid Spoon,13-Inch

Excellent price/excellent quality. Perfect size. 300 series stainless steel construction.

Excellent quality.

It's a nice, solid slotted turner made of stainless steel at a great price! It did arrive dirty-- it just looked grimey from manufacture... at first I thought it was discolored but it was just very dirty. But after a good hand washing it was fine. It's nothing fancy but it is simple, seems durable and it works well so I'm happy with it. Instead of buying one of those gross plastic spatulas buy one of these!

It's a kitchen basic but essential. Used for prep and serving. Stainless steel is easy to clean and durable. It is not flimsy, and it serves its functional role in the kitchen. Does not look like industrial kitchenware.

It’s a ladle It’s metallic and it does move liquids from one place to another without significantly spilling So thumbs up

Useful and sturdy for kitchen

You get what you pay for and this kitchen utensil set is for a very niche use. If you want a quality stainless steel set that will last you years...look elsewhere. If you want a kitchen set you won't care if someone walks away with or you will need somewhere public like a social event or stocking an office kitchen then this is perfect for the job. It has the form of a kitchen utensil and will last just long enough to get your money's worth without any worry if it gets stolen or destroyed. The set itself is VERY thin and obviously stamped out of sheet metal. The spatula/turner comes to a very obvious sheet end instead of being tapered to get under delicate food. The fork doesn't actually come to a point, but is stamped to an end so there is a flat edge on the point. This may impact use because the lack of tapering or points means more force needed when cooking. Because the handles are a thin sheet with a curve it is very uncomfortable to hold and handle for long periods of time. It may be hard to grip the utensil and as such things can slip or turn in your hand when applying force. Be VERY careful with the slotted spoon and slotted spatula. The method they use to stamp out the slots is bad. Before you use them I strongly suggest getting out fine sanding or scrubbing tools as there are imperfections and flakes of metal in the slots that have to be scrubbed or sanded out. Suggested use: -Display piece. They are stainless steel and shiney so if you want something as a display piece they work fine. -Cheap tools. Fine for stocking public spaces or events where you don't care if someone walks away with it. If you share quarters and you have a thief for a roommate, this would be perfect for them. Not suggested use: -HORRIBLE gift idea. If you give it to someone who cooks they'll hate it for the bad ergonomics and being sheet stamped metal. If you give it to someone who doesn't cook they might injure themselves while using it because of the bad ergonomics and stamped design. -Never with non-stick cookware. It's worth noting that stainless steel of any kind is not to be used with coated or non-stick cookware.

Read this understanding that I'm not a chef who cares much about cooking tools - this was a replacement for worn out spatulas given to me 15 years ago. I ordered both the slotted and the solid version of this because they were reasonably priced and because they are stainless steel, with no plastics or melted coatings to get into the food. It's very sturdy and I can't imagine breaking it or even bending it with normal use. The only thing I'd change would be the thickness at the very end, to easier slip under pancakes, but even that's probably more because of my own impatience in trying to flip before they're ready.
