Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Safe for Non-Stick Cookware Set, Black
Customer Review: great OXO deal
Summary: 4 Stars
i was looking for kitchen tongs and a spatula separately and ordered the Oxo 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads for around 12 dollars along with other items for a basic kitchen tool upgrade.
when adding the tongs to my cart i noticed within Amazon Recommendations the same set of OXO tongs alongside an OXO spatula yet clicked through to complete my already existing order.
it was only after ordering that i remembered to look into that OXO set, whereupon it was discovered it not only included the same 9" tongs, it also included the needed silicone spatula as well as a nylon turner. all for about 15 dollars.
that is, for three dollars more than the 9" tongs cost alone, you also get an Oxo Silicone Spatula which is sold individually for around 8 dollars and an Oxo Nylon Flexible Turner for around 7 dollars.
what this means is that for about 3 dollars more you can get a silicone spatula and a nylon turner, and individually these add up to 27 dollars, so that is a 12 dollar savings by purchasing them as a set. so too, they are a 4-for-3 offer, so optimally you can save up to 25% more on an order of similarly priced items.
i was worried that the tongs had nylon tips though they have been very useful thus far, grabbing things out of the oven and picking up and moving things on the stove. ideally they would be made of silicone, or at least it is my fear they will begin to melt when meeting a hot cast iron skillet.
the silicone spatula is very nice. it has a detachable head for cleaning and is well-made. it is a little more stiff than i would prefer yet it will do fine.
the flexible nylon turner has several reviews about its melting plastic and this almost caused me not to change my order, from the tongs to the above set. i figure i will relegate it to my non-stick cookware for the time being and search out a durable silicone turner to use with cast iron.
the main suggestion about this product would be that if nylon is used that it should be of a type which can withstand the highest heat. apparently some can withstand 500 degrees fahrenheit. and so i would expect that of these tools yet they are rated only for 400F degrees which imbues hesitation in their regular use, for fear of potentially damaging them which then requires their subsequent replacement.
i will be optimistic and give 4 stars for the good value involved, though if the two nylon tools disintegrate quickly due to heat deterioration i would lower it to 3 stars later on. my main concern at this point is the flexible nylon turner, because someday i will unwittingly use it in my cast iron and worry not only that i may potentially ruin it though also whatever food i happen to be cooking.
the tongs get rave reviews and i can see why. i thought the initial size i ordered (9") would be too small yet they are just right for handling things on the stovetop and close to the door inside the oven. really nice and have been using them alot. if they had silicone tips i would be able to securely pull ramekins out of the oven, so instead hope to locate these Kuhn Rikon Silicone Tongs in a discount store someday for use as a second set.
as well, the spatula is nice though its rubber handle is a bit hard to extract from within the mixture of other utensils in the bin, due to its grippy handle. it remains to be seen the utility of the turner as a turner in use. though either way it was the better choice and at least an intermediate step towards better utensils.
--
note: in regard to the flexible nylon turner, in terms of its heat deterioration issues, as well as the OXO silicone turner, in terms of its construction, it would appear that both share the same very thin surfaces. to me this extreme thinness is not necessary compared to the durability needed to withstand heat effectively. so i would rather see these tools slightly thicker if it would improve their durability.
note2: this product is titled the 'safe for non-stick cookware' set. similarly, it would be nice if OXO sold a 'safe for cast iron & non-stick cookware' set (albeit not this literal wording), which i assume would be all silicone. these are ultimately the tools i need most, because then non-stick and cast iron utensils could be one and the same, versus dealing with multiple utensils for the same task, which becomes dysfunctional.
