Also, the edge acts like a squeegee which is perfect when you're trying to get that last bit of sauce out of a pan-a nice feature previously unknown to me :)
I should note that the handle is, in fact, conductive of heat and can get uncomfortably warm if left in the wrong area on the stove. Given that the handle *is* metal, this should be a no-brainer. That said, I should clarify that heat does not transfer at all through the silicone end of the spoon.
I plan on replacing all my spoons with these :)

I finally found a great spoon to use with non-stick cookware. It works like the old wooden spoons did --but a lot easier to clean & you can put it in the dishwasher. It stirs heavy stiff foods just as easily as light fluffy things. It doesn't bend like a lot of plastic spoons. It's heat proof so I don't have to worry about it melting. I have thrown out all my other "plastic" spoons. They were worthless. Give this one a try -you won't be sorry.Best Deals for Tovolo 14-Inch Silicone Solid Spoon
These spoons are great for mixing, stirring, scooping... I used to use wooden spoons in the kitchen but have replaced them all with these spoons in all 4 colors!Honest reviews on Tovolo 14-Inch Silicone Solid Spoon
So my title and rating don't seem to quite mesh. But in my mind they do.You can't knock a product because it wasn't designed for what you want. This is a quality spoon. The metal is sturdy. The head is heat resistant (although I've seen it start to blister during really hot stir frying) and pliable enough to scrape the last bits of liquid and goodness from a pan. Cleanup is easy with the dishwasher.The weight is great and it generally feels pretty good in my hand.
The one major thing it lacks is any depth to the head of the spoon so it is not ideal for scooping or serving especially things that don't stick together like brussel sprouts, broccoli, and fruit salad. I don't think that was the aim of the product so its not something I would rank down for, but it is something you should probably consider before purchasing.
Similarly I don't think this spoon was designed for scraping burnt on bits. Its head is a bit to soft for that. It can scrape some burnt on things a bit, but its not going to do as good of a job as a hard metal or nylon spoon. This of course will protect your non stick cookware in the long run, but its another thing to think about when you're purchasing cooking utensils.
With those concerns intact, this product is deserving of a 5 star ranking because it is absolutely stellar at what it was designed to be and thats a non abrasive stirring spoon. The spoon is perfectly stiff and not too, too heavy. Its head is flat allowing you to have more stirring control and its slightly soft as to not scratch the surfaces of your expensive cookware.
With that:
5 stars
I'd buy it again
Just don't expect it to be the only spoon in your drawer
