Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Tovolo Red Silicone Spatula
Customer Review: Wears out quickly
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought two of these spatulas and use them frequently. Unfortunately, one has already become unusable due to cracks in the silicone, which eventually caused a large section to tear off. I've reverted to using my Oxo spatulas because they are far more durable.Customer Review: durability is definitely a problem
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this spatula for almost a year. In terms of use, it's great. It's easy on non-stick surfaces as well as enameled cast iron. I use it for baking tasks, too; the edge is nicely tapered. I have really come to appreciate the metal handle (it feels sturdy) and its length. I reach for it often, and after use, it's hand washed.
Unfortunately, as others have noted, although it's silicone, it's not durable. I started noticing very small chips to the bottom flat edge within the first few months. And last week, an 1/8th inch size piece fell off into the food as I was cooking - at least it was big enough to notice. Clearly, it's self-destructing, and I'm not sure I'll buy another Tovolo.
Customer Review: Works great... for 3 months
Summary: 2 Stars
I picked up this spatula based on a recommendation from Cooks Illustrated, who is always spot-on with recommending products that work great, and often at a good value. This product was a good value and did indeed work great... for 3-4 months. After moderate use (a couple times a week for those 3 months), small fragments of the silicone started breaking off in whatever I was making at the time. This is unacceptable, and I won't be ordering another Tovolo any time soon.Customer Review: Not Durable
Summary: 2 Stars
As several other reviewers have mentioned, this is not a durable product. I still have it but I don't use it, because large chunks have flaked off the edge. I will try to post a photo before I toss it.
I estimate it lasted about 4 months before pieces started coming off.
The worst part is, where did those pieces go? I hope they are not lodged in my gut.
Customer Review: Spatula arrived with a piece of the tip missing.
Summary: 1 Stars
I can not say how well it would have worked, as I received it with a piece of the tip missing and it seemed to be losing another piece next to the lost piece. If a piece could come off before even being used, I would not want to use it for anything that I was going to eat. The factory in China where this was made needs to be told to step up their quality control. I can just imagine using it to cook a red sauce and a piece of the slim tip coming off into the sauce to be digested unknowingly . A fellow had a similar problem with the blue spatula, but I decided to give it try based on a popular cooking mag., I wonder what color they used or if the factory/company changed something for this spatula to have gotten such praise.
