Summary: 2 Stars
After reading all of the rave reviews of this product, I decided to purchase one as a gift.It arrived this afternoon and I have to say that while the product does match the description provided, I was pretty disappointed that I spent [money] + shipping for this.
My first impression was that the crock was smaller than I had expected, however even with all of the spatulas in it, there's plenty of room for other kitchen tools. A medium sized wire whisk and a couple of wooden spoons will fit in nicely. The blue crock is a nice dark bluish-grey color. I haven't tested them, but the spatulas have stickers on them claiming heat resistance up to 800 degrees. I can't imagine what anyone would cook that would reach these kinds of temperatures, but I guess it's nice to know that if you accidentally leave the spatula resting on a hot burner it won't melt right way.
From the product description, I was having a hard time justifying the price of this product, but everyone that reviewed them seemed to just adore them, so I thought perhaps the picture and product description were not doing justice and I was simply underestimating these potentially wondrous kitchen tools.
I do a lot of cooking and if I had bought this for myself, I would be sending it back. I feel there are a lot better things to spend [money] on. It seems to me that the entire Le Creuset line is pretty over-priced, so with respect to their other products, it appears this one is par for their course.
The product description tells it all. Once the dust settles, what we have here are 6 rubber spatulas and a colored stoneware crock - nothing more. If this is worth [money] to you, then you will be getting your money's worth.
Description of Le Creuset BB2001709 7-Piece Spatula Set (Blue)
Le Creuset's brightly colored, virtually indestructible silicone spatulas created a buzz when they were first introduced. Now this set combines six blue ones in a complementary stoneware storage crock. Not only will these spatulas serve every cooking need, but they'll add a splash of color to any kitchen. Durable, flexible, and stain-resistant, the spatulas endure incredible temperatures--800 degrees F and 425 degrees C--without melting or discoloring. The spatulas: one tapered, slotted spoon spatula (3-1/2 inches long and 2-1/2 inches wide at its base); two solid spoon spatulas (3-1/2 inches by 2-5/8 inches and 2-7/8 inches by 2-1/8 inches); and three scraping spatulas of different widths (2 inches, 1-3/8 inches, and 1 inch). The handsome blue crock stands 5-7/8 inches high, and its flared mouth is 5 inches in diameter, providing plenty of room for tools other than the spatulas. The spatulas' heads slide off their wooden handles to go into a dishwasher, but hand washing is more convenient. --Fred BrackTool & Gadget Sets
