 Decent but lacking October 26, 2007

We received a variety of these Calphalon nylon utensils (including this slotted turner) as a gift almost a year ago. They are defintiely heat resistant, but they have not proven to be very durable in other regards. I am already looking to replace them and won't be buying this "model" again for a couple of reasons:
First, the edges have "flaked". I am not sure how else to describe it, they aren't exactly cracked but layers of the material have peeled away and this caused little bits of the utensil to break free and add unwanted "seasoning" to my dishes.
Second, they bend fairly easily- not too bad, but enough to be annoying. The silicon grip peeled up at the stress point within weeks. It appears that the grip just isn't mounted well and comes apart a little more with each use.
Third, though they claim to be dishwasher safe, one pass through the washer left them with what look like bleach stains.
Overall I am not completely dissatisfied, after all they do the job (albeit with mediocre performance). I don't feel like the purchase price of these would be a waste by any means, they certainly perform better than cheapo plastic utensils. However, I have used better and would recommend considering an alternative.
 Not as heat resistant as they claim September 19, 2007

This works very well, doesn't scratch your pots and pans, and doesn't melt on hot surfaces! Plus it's great at turning things which is really the whole point.
UPDATE: I could not change my star rating after my initial review but after a few more months of using this it has melt marks and looks very old. Concerning especially because it says that it is heat resistant to 400 degrees. I would not buy this again. I am now trying the OXO nylon turner that is flexible and heat resistant to 600 degrees. So far so good on that one.
It does melt April 28, 2008

This does melt from the heat when using it. I like it but it will not hold up with use. The part where it touches the heat looks like it is curling up but I suspect it is just melting away. Very nice looking but not as heat resistant as they claim.

This is a great spatula.... perfect for eggs, fish, pancakes... you name it! Thinking of buying several and giving them as Christmas gifts.

I would have like to known the length of the spatula before purchase. I think it works well with any cooking. It is a great utensil for anybody new to cooking.
