Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Tom Douglas by Pinzon 4-Piece Stainless-Steel Spatula Set, Bittersweet ChocolateCustomer Review: Good Spatula Set Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is a very nice spatula set. They have generously long handles with a curve to fit your hand comfortably and a hanging hole. The handles are engineered to fit the hand which is a feature most spats don't have. They feel balanced like a good knife. My only minor complaint is that they are not "grippy" so if the handle is wet, it will be slippery. That is a minor quibble though, because the handle is long enough that it will rarely get wet. It would also be nice to have small rings of silicone on the handle to protect your hand from heat.
If you leave them in a pan while cooking, the handles won't melt - duh. I have ruined many plastic-handled spats by leaving them in the pan; they develop a little melted groove in the handle & then snap/break the next time you scrape out a bowl. The metal handles do get warm but not hot because they are hollow. However, I recommend you experiment with this to make sure the heat isn't too much for your hand - I have asbestos fingers. The metal handles are also nicer than wooden handles which get punky if you put them in the dishwasher like I do. These spats did not have the "peeing" problem (water collecting from washing) that many spats do.
This set has the most useful sizes: (These measurements are approximate.)
Large Head is 4.5" W x 2 -5/8"W Handle Only: 8 -7/8"L length to hanging tip
Spoonula Head: 2.5"W x 3 1/8"W Handle Only: 8- 3/4"L length to hanging tip
Medium Head: 2"W x 3- 3/16"W Handle Only: 8-13/16"L length to hanging tip
Small Scraper Head: 1- 5/8"W x 2- 3/4"W Handle Only: 8-3/4"L length to hanging tip
They are heat resistant so you can use them while cooking on the stove top and they work great for cleaning batter out of a bowl.
They look beautiful; I like the chocolate color & the brushed stainless handle. They would make a nice gift.
Description of Tom Douglas by Pinzon 4-Piece Stainless-Steel Spatula Set, Bittersweet ChocolateAward-winning chef-restaurateur Tom Douglas and Amazon.com introduce a line of multi-functional gadgets that will inspire home chefs and build confidence in the kitchen. This four-piece spatula set makes a great gift for a cook just realizing the benefits of silicone. A flexible, heat-resistant, colorfully-tinted material, silicone makes the perfect spatula head--it bends smoothly to scoop batter out of bowls, it can scramble eggs in a nonstick frying pan, and it can baste hot roasts. While the bittersweet-chocolate-colored spatula heads are silicone, the long, smooth handles are hollow stainless steel and sport convenient hanging holes on the ends. The set contains a large spatula, a medium spatula, a small scraper, and a large spoon-shaped spatula. All are dishwasher-safe and heat-resistant to between 428 and 480 degrees F.
Tom's Tips - Mixing ingredients is a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen, and the small scraper spatula in this set is a perfect size for little hands.
- The spoon-shaped spatula is attractive enough to double as a serving spoon for hot or cold dishes at casual dinner parties.
