I've discovered a problem with these tools that wasn't obvious at first.
The handles are made of two pieces joined together, and the join isn't good. This causes them to fill with water if run through the dishwasher (or if soaked in a sink of dishwater). You don't realize it until you're cooking something and all this nasty dirty water starts dripping out of the handles and into the food.
I don't use the heated dry cycle on my dishwasher, so this is not a heat-related problem. It's just cheap manufacturing. I've come to expect more than this of Oxo. They generally make pretty good stuff, but I will probably end up throwing these out. I don't want my food contaminated.
MY ORIGINAL REVIEW
These are very sturdy tools that feel good in the hand. My only issue with them is that handles are rather large, so they take up a lot of room in my utensil holder. If you store your tools in a drawer, this probably wouldn't be much of a problem.

Initially I was very surprised by how large the tools were. They are much bigger than any tool I've bought previously. If you don't have much space in the kitchen, I'd think twice about buying these tools. However, after using them I think they are quite sturdy and useful. Eventhough they are large, they are not heavy and sometimes there size is quite helpful. You can pick up a whole fried egg with the spatula, for example. I am happy with my purchace, because the price was good.Best Deals for OXO Good Grips Tool Set
Bought these to replace older, non-matching kitchen tools. OXO work well and look nice but size-wise they are a bit large. Handles are extra long which is kind of overkill especially when using a small pot or pan. Grips are comfortable. Will have to invest in a new holder with a wide mouth to fit all tools comfortably. All is good, just be forewarned on size.Honest reviews on OXO Good Grips Tool Set
I'm in agreement with the other reviewers. The edge of this spatula has melted and I can remove the excess with my thumbnail. Yuck! This spatula was actually a free replacement for an older one that had done the same thing. (Oxo is very good about standing behind their products.) However, it is odd that they sent me something with the same innate flaw. I should have been told that ALL nylon spatulas will melt! They should discontinue making them or specify to be used ONLY where NO HEAT is involved. But what tasks would that include?Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for OXO Good Grips Tool Set
This is an excellent cooking spoon. Long and very light weight, the oval perforated bowl is large and the handle is comfortable to hold. According to the OXO website, the spoon is heat resistant to 400 degrees; not the 250 degrees as shown in the product description above.
