silicone cooking utensils?
Comments

I have a silicon loaf 'tin' - that is absolutely useless due to it having a wavy, ribbed base that EVERYTHING sticks to :mad:.
Have now gone back to my ordinary non-stick loaf tins but with paper liners from Lakeland - cant beat it for presentation purposes :j/0 -
If you have a home bargains near you, I picked up a silicone pastry brush for 99p. They had other things as wellLiz xx0

I got 3 for 2 in Waitrose (they are John Lewis):j
I got the egg lifter (pink) £8, the tongs £8 (turquoise) & the spatula (white with pink cupcakes) £7, so all three for £16:T
I should have got a solid colour spatula as its stained from tomato puree:mad:0 -
Just a little tip about silicon baking/cooking utensils.
Those spatulas often come with a wooden handle inserted into the flat silicon bit. When you wash them PLEASE be very careful about drying them.
I noticed that the handle on mine went black inside spatula bit. When I checked it out, it was wet and going mouldy. Water gets inside them, which I hadn't even thought about, and with them being such a tight fit - it didn't drain back out again. So I thought I'd get one with a plastic handle as well. When I looked at that one, it too had a separate handle/spatula so I guess water would seep inside that as well.
IF YOU CAN GET ONE, the best is an 'all one piece' spatula - I got one with my Kenwood Food Processor.0 -

hello duncan
I don't know - 11.08 pm, a bit tipsy and you're trawling the old-style boards. Are you really that bored, dear.
You start mentioning wooden spoons, and one of us will be chasing you with one.
Hope you get a good night's sleep and not too much of a hangover in the morning.
Nitey nite!0
