MIU France Set of 2 Blue Nylon Mixing Spoons, 12-Inch and 15-Inch

These heavy duty spoons are great for mixing dough and batter, for browning and breaking down ground beef and stirring stews and sauces. Yes, they discolor slightly when stirring sauces and the like, but they are "working" spoons and you can count on them to hold up for you. They are great for scraping the bottom of your stainless steal and cast iron pans. They also clean up very easily, grease doesn't even seem to cling as with other cooking spoons.They are big spoons, but it's one of the factors that make them great for the heavy duty jobs. The larger spoon has a noticeably thick handle and you may find yourself "fisting" it when using it, but you will have confidence that it will stand up to any pressure you put on it. And the extra long handle is great for scraping the bottom of tall pitchers (such as the 4 quart Tupperware pitcher) and deep pots. The smaller one is much more manageable, but feels just as tough.It is possible to damage these spoons - IF you are foolish enough to expose them directly to high heat for an extended time, like me. I have a tendency to turn on the front burner when attempting to heat water in the kettle on the back burner. On one of those occasions I had my cast iron flat pan on the front burner with the smaller spoon sitting on it. The spoon was exposed to possibly 10 minutes of the highest heat (the pan's food remains were black and smoldering) and the spoon suffered an ugly divot where it was in direct contact with the pan. But it appears to have left nothing behind on my pan. The handle that was in contact with the edge of the pan was fine and the damage that was done did not spread beyond the contact point.I rarely give anything "top" stars (nothing's perfect, right?). Since they are bulky and can stain (slightly), that's reason enough for me to not give 5 stars.Still, I like these so much, I just ordered another set.Update: I received my new set today and, oddly enough, they are not a true blue like the last ones. They are more of a teal color. Personally, I'm fine with that since I actually wanted a different color in order to maybe have different uses for them. I would like to get the red ones, but not so much that I will pay three dollars more. Practicality and price are more important to me than style and color.

The spoons I received were way lighter than pictured in the description. They are not pastel blue, maybe robin's egg blue? That may sound nice, but it is awful. I can't even describe how gross it is. It's like if dog puke was blue, if you can imagine that. I do not know who the color would appeal to. So needless to say, had I seen these in a store I would not have bought them. But that is merely an aesthetic critique; as cooking spoons I am sure they will be fine. They are more hygenic than wooden spoons and they won't scratch your cookware. I bought some Cuisinart spoons which were way nicer, but I couldn't find them again, and I thought these would match other blue kitchen accessories I had. They so do not. But for $7, it is not worth returning. I will just have to cook blindfolded to not offend my eyes, ha, ha! Also the 15 inch spoon is crazy big, it's as big as my hand! Am I making stew for giant trolls?! What could I possibly be stirring that would require such a giant spoon?!! It's comically big.

I bought these back when I started culinary school after our first sauce lesson (almost 2 years ago as of this posting) when I realized the lone heat-resistant spoon that came with our knife kit wasn't going to cut it when working on multiple sauces at once.I honestly can't think of a single bad thing to say about these spoons! I use them EVERY DAY, and they've held up superbly. Just to list some of the things I love about these spoons:+ The color's very pleasing to the eye*+ The lengths are great for a variety of tasks+ These guys are easy to clean! They even stand up remarkably to scour pads**+ VERY heat resistant!**** Also, it's easy to distinguish from all of my classmates' spoons; equipment often gets lost/misplaced/accidentally acquired since we all received identical kits** By easy to clean, I mean they're REALLY easy to clean! Most stuff won't stick to them for very long AND since the spoons are one solid piece with no nooks or crannies, there's nowhere for gunk to get trapped in.*** Heat RESISTANT, not heat-proof! I did manage to damage the tip of one of the spoons a bit when aggressively stirring a sauce in a saute pan

I ordered these because they would go in the dishwasher. I do not like to put wooden spoons through because they dry out and crack. These work well, have not melted at all, and seem to come clean very easily.The only reason I did not give these a 5 star rating is that the larger spoon is *really big* and has a very thick handle. I still use it when I use my large soup pot, but I find the small size is much handier.

I Bought these Cooking Spoons, Part because of the Reviews and Part of the Nice Dark Blue Color which is the Color in my Kitchen. I always can tell when it takes a while to receive an Item, ...something has Gone Wrong. I received the Spoons few days ago and they are Both a different Shade of Light Blue Color, Nothing like the Color Posted on the Website. There are not Even the Same Color Both! ...each one its a different Shade of Blue...go Figure! They seem very strong, but I Do Not Like Them, and that is the reason for the 2 Stars. I know its just a Spoon, I wish they will tell me, that they have run out of that Specific Color, ...tell me anything, however, I do Not Care when They Send you what ever they want and NOT what you have Ordered! ...Thank You D.D.

When my sister and I were little our mom used to threaten us with a wooden spoon. If she had these bad boys I guarantee you we'd have never misbehaved. They are SOLID. The 12-inch is the perfect size for everyday use and the 15-inch would do well in a large pot of chili or witch's cauldron for that matter. If my mom had that one back in the day I might not be here to write this review!In all seriousness, this is a high-quality item. The only true issue I have with them is the color because they don't really match our decor but I went for function over form though so it was my choice.
