Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of iSi Basics Silicone Slim Spatula, Red
Customer Review: Great...til it cracks :(
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this (in blue) because my beau goes through Peanut Butter like he owns a Peanut farm and every day is Harvest Season. Prior to the purchase of this spatula, he would leave at least a serving in the bottom of each jar ~ multiply that by at least a jar a week, and that's a lot of wasted Peanut Butter (we buy the good stuff, too - not cheap, no sugars, pesticides, or hydrogenated oils). He loves to cook so I've bought him numerous tools and kitchen gadgetry. He says this one's his favorite (personally, I like the ice cream maker best!). My mom was over recently and she commented about the thinness of our spatula. He said, "I have thicker ones, but I like this one the best."
Well, we've owned it for less than a year (maybe 6-9 mos?) and the other day, while it was drying in the rack (he uses it too often to always wait for a full load, so he rarely puts it in the dishwasher), I noticed it had developed a small (.25") hairline crack in the top of the flex part. Maybe it's just a hair too stiff? Maybe he's a hair to strong? I dunno, but I know that crack can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Even though we are generally a no-sugar, vegan household, bacteria could still grow. So, I may replace this with another of exactly the same and keep an eye on it, or I may buy a different one, if I can find one that'll fit his needs: stiff enough to scrape out natural peanut butter from the bottom of a jar, and slim enough to fit in the jar.
I like that:
- it is made with silicone, seems to not hold on to odors, grease, or staining.
- it is one-piece and won't harbor bacteria where a joint might be on other models.
- it reduces waste.
- it is easy to grip, especially, when scraping thick stuff (or, ice cream that's frozen to the side of the ice cream maker).
- now, there aren't 5 almost-empty jars of peanut butter sitting on my counter, waiting to be washed out.
- it can be used for food as well as massage cream, the bottom of a wide-mouth bottle of body lotion or hair conditioner, or even as a tool to scrape off icky stuff (buying a different one for each job is recommended, of course!).
We like it so much, it deserves 5 stars, but I think it should have lasted at least a full year (or more!), so I docked a star.
I rely on reviews here at Amazon to help me make informed buying choices. I hope this review has helped you in the same manner. If you voted this as helpful, I Thank You! :)
