Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Nylon 4-Piece Utensil Set
Customer Review: Replaced all my kitchen utensils with these
Summary: 5 Stars
When I bought my first house several years ago, I bought a set of OXO kitchen utensils that were cheap. I didn't do much cooking, so I figured they would get me by. I used them for years, but when I got married, we got got a Calphalon Nylon spatula as a wedding gift. I have since replaced all my OXO utensils with Calphalon Nylon ones.
It's plastic, so you don't have to worry about it splitting or absorbing bacteria like a wooden one. They are well-constructed; you can scoop a heaping pile of mashed potatoes or sautè a heavy piece of meat without it bending much at all. The handle is fairly thick, so it fills the hand better than many others. The grey strip runs almost the entire length of the shaft and is slightly softer than the black body, so it offers a good grip. But the thing that made me switch everything over is its "unibody" construction. Other kitchen utensils have a shaft that tapers to the scoop which is attached to the handle with an adhesive. The problem is that, over time, the seal between the shaft and the handle can open up a bit, which lets in water whether you're using a dishwasher or washing by hand. The water can be annoying when unloading the dishwasher and, at worst, can become tepid while sitting in a drawer, dripping into your food when you take it out for use. There's nowhere for water to get stuck on these, so you don't have to worry about it.
They have been used at very high temperatures on my stove top and sent through the dishwasher dozens of times and are no worse for the wear (whereas my old OXOs have many grooves in the shaft from sitting on the side of a pot for even a short time). You might pay a little more for these, but they are worry-free and will last as long as you want to use them. I actually got a Calphalon Essentials spatula at one point, but the Nylon line is quite a bit better.
Currently, the most helpful review mentions flaking, easy bending, and the grey strips falling off. I don't know if he/she got an especially bad set or I got an especially good one, but I have been using these consistently for almost two years and have not experienced any of that.
Pros
- Plastic: more sanitary than wood and doesn't scratch non-stick cookware like metal
- Sturdy construction with thick handle
- Softer grey strips on handle give good grip
- Nowhere for water to be accidentally stored
- Very durable; used for two years with no significant signs of wear
Cons
- More expensive than many other spoons
