 "great OXO deal" 2010-02-18
By feedback (minneapolis)
i was looking for kitchen tongs and a spatula separately and ordered the Oxo 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads for around 12 dollars along with other items for a basic kitchen tool upgrade.



when adding the tongs to my cart i noticed within Amazon Recommendations the same set of OXO tongs alongside an OXO spatula yet clicked through to complete my already existing order.



it was only after ordering that i remembered to look into that OXO set, whereupon it was discovered it not only included the same 9" tongs, it also included the needed silicone spatula as well as a nylon turner. all for about 15 dollars.



that is, for three dollars more than the 9" tongs cost alone, you also get an Oxo Silicone Spatula which is sold individually for around 8 dollars and an Oxo Nylon Flexible Turner for around 7 dollars.



what this means is that for about 3 dollars more you can get a silicone spatula and a nylon turner, and individually these add up to 27 dollars, so that is a 12 dollar savings by purchasing them as a set. so too, they are a 4-for-3 offer, so optimally you can save up to 25% more on an order of similarly priced items.



i was worried that the tongs had nylon tips though they have been very useful thus far, grabbing things out of the oven and picking up and moving things on the stove. ideally they would be made of silicone, or at least it is my fear they will begin to melt when meeting a hot cast iron skillet.



the silicone spatula is very nice. it has a detachable head for cleaning and is well-made. it is a little more stiff than i would prefer yet it will do fine.



the flexible nylon turner has several reviews about its melting plastic and this almost caused me not to change my order, from the tongs to the above set. i figure i will relegate it to my non-stick cookware for the time being and search out a durable silicone turner to use with cast iron.



the main suggestion about this product would be that if nylon is used that it should be of a type which can withstand the highest heat. apparently some can withstand 500 degrees fahrenheit. and so i would expect that of these tools yet they are rated only for 400F degrees which imbues hesitation in their regular use, for fear of potentially damaging them which then requires their subsequent replacement.



i will be optimistic and give 4 stars for the good value involved, though if the two nylon tools disintegrate quickly due to heat deterioration i would lower it to 3 stars later on. my main concern at this point is the flexible nylon turner, because someday i will unwittingly use it in my cast iron and worry not only that i may potentially ruin it though also whatever food i happen to be cooking.



the tongs get rave reviews and i can see why. i thought the initial size i ordered (9") would be too small yet they are just right for handling things on the stovetop and close to the door inside the oven. really nice and have been using them alot. if they had silicone tips i would be able to securely pull ramekins out of the oven, so instead hope to locate these Kuhn Rikon Silicone Tongs in a discount store someday for use as a second set.



as well, the spatula is nice though its rubber handle is a bit hard to extract from within the mixture of other utensils in the bin, due to its grippy handle. it remains to be seen the utility of the turner as a turner in use. though either way it was the better choice and at least an intermediate step towards better utensils.



--

note: in regard to the flexible nylon turner, in terms of its heat deterioration issues, as well as the OXO silicone turner, in terms of its construction, it would appear that both share the same very thin surfaces. to me this extreme thinness is not necessary compared to the durability needed to withstand heat effectively. so i would rather see these tools slightly thicker if it would improve their durability.



note2: this product is titled the 'safe for non-stick cookware' set. similarly, it would be nice if OXO sold a 'safe for cast iron & non-stick cookware' set (albeit not this literal wording), which i assume would be all silicone. these are ultimately the tools i need most, because then non-stick and cast iron utensils could be one and the same, versus dealing with multiple utensils for the same task, which becomes dysfunctional.

 "Good quality set" 2009-10-13
By Michael Mcelrath
First off, the price of this set was very good when I purchased it. It was only about 20% higher than buying any single one of these pieces indivudually.



Second, I have not had any problems with the quality of my tongs or spatula. They hold up very well to everything I've put them through, even frying in hot grease on the stove. The only damage that my tongs have taken were when they were directly exposed to the fire of my gas stove after I had sat them down in an inappropriate place. This was my own fault, and they still only had minimal damage.



The spatula, while I greatly enjoy using it and find it easy to clean, seems like it could be better. I usually just clean it by hand, but sometimes I do toss it in the dishwasher, especially if I have finished cooking for the day and know I won't need it for a while. The rubber along the edges of the blade is shorn a bit. I'm not sure if these fragments have come off in the washing machine or other times, but I have noticed it when inspecting the blade. Additionally, the blade does not connect very well with the handle. They are easily separable. This hasn't been a problem with most things but stirring thicker batters has caused me to lose the head in the mix. Still, it is my favorite mixing and stirring spatula at the moment, and I would recommend this set, especially over purchasing the items individually.

 "Not as expected" 2009-06-01
By Marcelo Nunes (Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil)
I expected a better quality and that it supported better to the heat. It showed some damage when I was preparing some pancakes. It was never exposed directly to the heat, but it showed some damage.

 "OK, but not great" 2010-02-28
By N. Fu
These are OK - they get the job done but they are not great. They warp every other time they are in the oven, which does not fill me with confidence. Also, I have had these baking sheets for about 2 years and they have started to rust. Water collects in the rolled edge and can't escape fast enough to have it dry instead of rust. Luckily I'm getting married soon and can register for a new set of more heavy-duty baking sheets to replace these.

 "CONSIDER ALL THE WASTED TIME AND MONEY FROM THESE BAD, CHEAP PANS BEFORE YOU THINK THEY'RE A BARGAIN." 2009-11-13
By Toni T. (Council Bluffs / Omaha)
I bought 2 of these sets hoping to replace too many old and mismatched ones that don't stack and take too much of my limited cupboard space (I can't afford a kitchen remodel). HOWEVER, DESPITE WHAT ANOTHER REVIEWER SAID, these cookie sheets ARE DEFINITELY NOT `heavy duty' so they didn't keep their shape or withstand higher baking temperatures or prevent burning. I realized that even at such a bargain price THEY'RE NOT WORTH OUR MONEY IF WE NEED TO REPLACE THEM TOO SOON DUE TO WARPING, OR WE NEED TO BUY AN ADDITIONAL BETTER SET FOR HIGHER TEMPERATURES, OR IF THEY SABOTAGE/BURN OUR BAKED GOODS because this also wastes our valuable time and energy to prepare the dish, plus the food and the money we spent to buy it all, and the wasted energy to run the oven. My second paragraph details my bad experiences but the actual baking results were bad enough that I'm saving up to replace these after only one use. I have 1 Wilton non-stick baking sheet that REALLY IS heavy duty, it has remained flat and sturdy even at high temperatures, hasn't overcooked or burned the bottom of what I've baked, and has even remained non-stick and easy to clean. I'm hoping that a new Wilton set will be as heavy duty and made as well as my old one because I've finally learned that it's far wiser and cheaper in many, many ways to pay more for GOOD cooking and baking tools that will last and function well for decades.

My experience was: 1- The largest of these sheet pans had both warped when I was merely greasing them to season them, BEFORE I had even put them into the oven for the first time (YES, even non-stick pans needs seasoned before their first use). The middle sized ones warped in the oven the very first time I used them and my jelly-roll came out too lop-sided (I'm surprised it didn't spill over the edge and make a big mess in the oven). 2- I was concerned that each of these pans weighed less than any of my other equally sized sheet pans because the weight (and material) of a pan makes a significant difference in heat absorption and heat distribution. So, although I took the precautions of pre-heating the oven and rotating my pizza's and biscuits on the oven racks ½ way through the baking time, the bottoms were STILL nearly too burned to salvage. 3- I think it won't be too long before the first two reviewers have their pans warp or realize that inadequate pans contributes to their baked goods coming out overdone or burned on the bottoms due to chincy pans. 4- Like too many persons nowadays, I'm also on a limited budget and I took a gamble to try to stretch my money, so it's worth repeating that I've finally learned it's far, far wiser AND CHEAPER IN MANY WAYS to wait wait until I can afford to invest in genuinely good, durable and well made cooking and baking tools that will last and keep functioning well for decades.

 "Great set of pans at a very reasonable price." 2009-07-03
By Frank E. Trinkle (Valdosta, GA USA)
You gotta love Amazon for insuring that you can usually find exactly what you're looking for at a reasonable price and delivered within a couple of days!



These pans are no exception. I was getting tired of seeing my wife contnuing to use some older pans that were really getting ratty. So I jumped on Amazon and found these... had them in my hands in two days, and my wife is no longer having to scrape away the food remains from teflon that was so old it no longer acted like Teflon!



Very nice simple non-stick pans that should last for a good while. Recommended!
