Customer Review: The 2nd silicone revolution
Summary: 5 Stars
Really when you stop and think about it this is really the 2nd revolution for silicone, the first obviously had nothing to do with men or the kitchen. I am glad to say that this 2nd silicone revolution is much healthier and much better for your kitchen. If you have no idea what I am talking about simply stroll down the kitchen section at any large retailer these days and you will immediately see what I am talking about. Silicone has taken the kitchen by storm and that is a very good thing. Collapsible colanders, cookie sheets, baking mats, muffin sheets, Bread Pans and even a lot of the kitchen utensils like spatulas, pancake flippers, cookie spatulas, regular flippers, etc. are getting in on the fun.
The first thing my wife said when she saw a lot of these flexible silicone baking products is "Wont they melt?". The answer is no, not as long as you keep them from touching anything over 500-600 degrees and the vast majority of stuff you cook in the kitchen stays well below that temperature. So whats so great about silicone? First its non stick all the time which means no having to use butter or Pam if you dont want to and 2nd is it makes cleaning the products much much easier. Of course one of the best perks for silicone is that its flexible thus you can collapse, fold or roll up a lot of these products thus they take up a lot less space in your cupboards. Last but not least they just look and feel cool.
As for how they perform, well I have tested quite a large assortment of these products including this colander and I have been extremely impressed. Lets face it Kitchen gadgets must serve a practical purpose otherwise they will wind up staying in the cupboard or drawer. Well I don't think anyone will try and argue against the merits and importance of a colander but as most people know the one thing that can be improved upon with this particular item is the space it takes up in your cupboard and that is where this colander destroys all others. Simply give it a little downward force and it pops out. Push it down on the counter and it collapses into less than a half an inch thick. Its nothing short of ingenious and being one that doesn't have a whole lot of storage space, well lets just say its worth every last penny and I absolutely love it.
The 2nd silicone revolution is here and my kitchen is seeing some legitimate improvements because of it. I cant wait to see what they come up with next with this amazing material.
5 Stars all the way!!
