Spurdle utensils

It does not say if they are heat resistant or dishwasher safe. How are these???

They are Silicone so of course they're dishwasher safe and heat resistant.

I have both wood and silicone and find myself reaching for the wooden ones over silicone every time. If I fry a quick hamburger I use wood to turn. Never has a problem. Wash wooden ones by by hand. It's a personal choice.

I have both and I find the silicone to be good. But the wood ones splinter on the sides and I'm afraid that wood will fall into my food when I stir it. I do tap them on the side of pans when cooking, so I assume that's what did the splintering. So I won't be buying any wooden ones again. I probably won't buy any again.

I have a bunch of the silicone ones. I use some of them several times a week, and certain ones daily. So far, so good. I also have some wooden ones. I had too pitch one because I accidentally burned it. 🔥 😬

Same here @luvmybeetle

My wooden splintered even tho they NEVER went in the dishwasher.

Always washed by hand AND dried immediately. I would never buy the wooden again either.

Most did this before the warranty was up, but you can't reach ANYONE to get replacements! Emails unaswered, no phone number.

I LOVE the silicone. Have had no problems, no splinters and I use them every single day.

The pic above looks like the mixer beaters hit them!

I had bought the wooden set when it was offered a couple of years ago. I was very disappointed after just one use -- they started splintering along the edges at the top of each spurtle. Never used them again. They were supposed to be a "collector's item" == they are, if you never want to use them.

I love my silicone spurdles. I've had them for years and have no problems whatsoever. I make hard crack candies like toffee with zero problems. Have given as gifts and everyone is loving them.

I have the wood and silicone spurdles. Like them both equally and have never had a problem with either. They all go in the dishwasher and come out fine.

I had two different sets of them and they weren't used. Spatulas and spoons work far better for me.

I have an olive wood spurtle. Berard, made in France, although many of their products are made in northern Africa. I use it fairly often, but I don't think I need more than one. I certainly wouldn't want a set.

Olive wood is the best! I have numerous olive wood utensils and I don't do any other wood for utensils. Some of mine are so old and like new. Any time I use one, after washing and drying, I treat it.

As for this brand, when they first came out with the silicone ones I got a set. TBH, I only use one of them. It's a long-ish, very narrow one that looks like that red one in Software's post. (mine are actually red) I use it for cleaning out the last of product in a given jar and it works great. It has held up, probably because it's just me using it and only for that one purpose. I've never used it in cooking. I haven't put it in the dishwasher, mostly just because it's easy to just wash and dry but I wouldn't hesitate to put silicone in the dishwasher.

Ive always found the line overpriced and unnecessary. In fact Ive owned the same wooden spoon for 40 years. Does the job fine if you know how to cook.

I bought a set of the silicone utensils a few years ago. They get quite a bit of use, mostly when I'm cooking something in a fry pan, and have held up great.

I have a few old inexpensive wooden utensils that I have used for 15+ years and always put them in the dishwasher to clean. One in particular I use for browning ground beef. Will be sad when it finally breaks, but still going strong. My silicone spatulas and spoons never last that long. They chip along the edges. But I appreciate their usefulness in non-stick pans.

I had both the wood & silicone ... They are too thick & uncomfortable to hold & work with ... I now use them in the garden 😁

I've never had a wooden utensil splinter as quickly as the set of wooden Spurtles I purchased. The utensils were hand washed and never let soaking in a pan of water. I considered trying the silicone version, but opted for a set of silicone utensils from another brand.
