I'm an anti wood utinsel person so I've never been interested in them, but they get great reviews. I'd get a plastic one as I like the shape.

Someting I bought and didn't like was the big silicone forks. I forget what they're even called.

@debic I bought a set of 2 silicone coated larger forks. They really come in handy except the tip off one came off so who knows where it went or who ate it??? I had not had them long enough at that time for this happened. I won't be buying them again.

They just seem too bulky for me. Emeril has some thin metal type ones. But I couldn't use those in my nonstick pans.

I use my spurtles all the time and LOVE them. The short one is just great for breaking up hamburger or sausage and other types of sauteeing. I use it every day. The longer ones are good for stiring up pasta and especially soups. Since there is so much surface area, they really move the soup around. I have given these to my children, and they don't know how they got along without them before!

I got these some time back when they first came out with a little tray. The funny thing is - I bought them JUST for that tray because I had a specific purpose for which to use the tray part. But, by the time I got them I forgot what that purpose was. Still haven't remembered that.

As for the tools, I haven't used them at all. I have a small collection of really nice olive wood utensils that I really love. The quality is incredible and they will last forever. My oldest olive wood utensil is decades old and still perfect, except for some seasoning. I take good care of them, of course.

Between my olive utensils, some that are rubber type stuff, and many that are silicone, I'm set. I can't see anything for which these would be as handy, or more handy than what I already have.

To be honest, I'm not really fond of cheap wood for kitchen use. I will pick up the olive wood utensils every time I am looking for a wooden utensil. I got this awesome set back when Chef's was still in business. They are just stunning. The big spoon is a piece of art.

But, maybe one day I'll remember why I ordered that set of spurtles for the little tray. I'm turning into an idiot. hehe
