UPDATE: I contacted Zyliss shortly after writing this review. Customer Service was very nice, asked for a picture and said they'd ship another spoon out to me. I did have to wait almost a month to get it but at least I have a black spoon once again. Now that my spoon isn't some weird color I'd give it 5 stars.

About three years ago I purchased two of these spoons. I particularly liked these for a number of reasons: (1) cost was reasonable at around $7 with the 4 for 3 promotion and super saver shipping; (2) the design was above average, grey with splash of white in the handle; (3) the balance of the handle is strong but not too heavy; (4) there is excellent workmanship, and (5) the size of the spoon makes it work for both cooking and serving. One of my spoons looks just as good as when I purchased it; these do not scuff or show scratches. The other one met with an accident; it somehow ended up at the bottom of the dishwasher during a cleaning, and was damaged/melted because it rested on the dryer element. That has taught me about being sure to load these serving items correctly in the dishwasher. So, I'm very happy to be getting two more. I note that Zyliss has revised the size of the spoon somewhat; it's now a little narrower and deeper, which I think are improvements. Also, be aware that there is no implied warranty on this spoon, although the label does provide the manufacturer's address, toll-free phone, and website address should you have any questions or issues.Best Deals for Zyliss Spoon
This is a fairly good spoon. I like that the bowl of the spoon is not attached to the handle low down. A low seam allow gunk to build up and isn't very sanitary. This spoon is just the right length for stirring in a pot and it's well balanced. The deep bowl of the spoon makes it handy for serving as well. The reason it did not get more stars is because of an oddity with the design. I find that it will not stay submerged in liquid. It pops to the top, turns over and floats. Easy enough to live with unless the spoon has been left to dry with food on it. It's difficult to soak a spoon that won't stay down in the water. Despite that, I would probably buy another one because the price is fair and it doesn't scratch my non-stick pans.Honest reviews on Zyliss Spoon
Zyliss, while being a relatively unknown company, makes a great line of kitchen products. Their salad spinner is the best I've ever used. On to the spoon...I love cooking with my fancy copper pots and pans, but man do they scratch easily with stainless utensils. The obvious solution is to use wooden spoons. I love wooden spoons, but I don't love constantly replacing them when they splinter or split. This spoon is a great compromiseit won't scratch like steel will but lasts much longer than wood. It's also dishwasher safe. I've used it over high heat and it has not melted or warped. I have never noticed it imparting any "plasticy" flavors to even delicate sauces as some plastic products do. It loses a star because of the size. The bowel of the spoon is rather small, which makes ladling sauces and soups from a pot impossible. Of course that's what ladles are for, but hey I want it all for a 5* review.

Good spoon for stirring and general cooking. The stem seems a trifle thin, but it doesn't bend or interfere with stirring or other cooking motions. Very easy to clean and long enough to deal with large pots--but short enough to hang from a hook on the side of my refrigerator.
