Is the finish on the spatula smooth/glossy or is it grainy like some other silicone spatulas? Just want to make sure debris doesn't stick to it if out

It is a silicone finish, but smooth. It is very easy to wash and does not have a sticky feel like some silicone that attracts particles. I keep mine upright in a large jar with a few other utensils and I've never had a problem.

Finish is very smooth but not glossy like the rubber spatulas. Not at all grainy.

Its smooth. You will love it. Very easy to clean as nothing sticks to it. My favorite spatula!

I don't think it is Teflon. My pan has a heavier coating that is not smooth, but like a fine sand paper texture and it has been doing fine for 6 months. I don't use wood, but only the plastic tools. When I put the pan away, I put a paper towel, the heating element and the plastic spatula in it so the next person will only use the plastic. I love this pan. It is so easy to use and to clean. Much better than a different brand that I got earlier and I am sure that one had teflon and this is not like that at all.

You are correct! By following the simple use and care instructions, the ceramic coating should give you a long return on your investment. I purchased a few new spatula's for use with my new Ozeri pans but several of my old ones still work fine. ALL non-stick cookware requires special handling and this is no different. I am Very Please with Both of my Ozeri Pans and will soon be completing my set... Hope this helps - Roger

The Blade has a matte gray bluing on it. Much the consistency of a regular gun bluing which if desired could be pretty easily removed with a fine grit wet/sand or possibly a high speed Dremel with a buffing polishing bit. I did not remove the finish on the blade of my knife. The only thing I did was wipe the blade down with some alcohol when I received it to remove a tacky clear coat used to protect the blade for ship from the factory. this came right off,, no problem.. I use this knife quite frequently for processing food. chopping vegetable, herbs, meats, fish and game never had a problem. Just clean the blade with reasonable care much like any other knife and you should have no problem. Hope this helps. The Blade has a matte gray bluing on it.

I've had mine for about 6 months, actually just bought another one!. I am not particularly careful about what utensils I use, and it cleans beautifully.

It is a matte plastic finish. It is not sticky like the silicone, and slides in and out of pocket with ease.

No, it is not. It was so rough it tore up the paper towel I was using to coat it after cleaning. I recently bought a Lodge skillet, and it was a bit smoother. The person who commented about the vintage is correct. The older products were made more carefully and are much smoother. The Lodge piece works very well. But despite claims that I don't have to do anything to it, I still rub a little olive oil into it after cleaning, and use a little when cooking.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I will say it is a GREAT spatula. Super soft and moldable. The best part is it's all one piece, so the blade and the handle don't become detached.

Hi Jo, we test all of our products thoroughly and found these spatulas to be particularly odor and stain resistant. This would be due to the quality of silicone we use. In addition, the whole StarPack Team use our products at home and we haven't had any reports from them or any of our happy customers of the spatulas retaining any odors at all. Hope this helps!

I just received mine. The handle is a combination of brushed metal and smooth. The markings appear to be etched on the brushed section in such a way that the markings are smooth to match the remainder of the spoon. Does that make sense?

It's smooth. I've had this pan for over a year and I absolutely love it. I also bought one for my mom and my sister and they love theirs as well.

No. It has a matte finish which I like. I don't think it looks grainy or oily. AFter a few days (and many swipes), I can see fingerprints/streaks. But it wipes off very easily.

I have a tiny silicone spatula that I use when they stick a little. I don't always need it, though. A lot of recipes just pop right out.

i would describe it as "leather-ish" lol it's grainy, not as smooth nor shiny as leather but you could spill something on it and not worry about a stain or anything. my dogs have licked it and it just dries, i've wiped it down with a clorox wipe.

The finish is natural unfinished wood. The wood is poreous which I believe absorbs the water, expands under the dishwasher steam and results in cracking. I don't know what type of wood it is but I do know that after the first dishwasher washing the spatula cracked on me. Other buyers have had the same problem The regular spoon has held up so far. Have not used the sieved spoon yet. The best wooden cooking utensils in my opinion are the bamboo utensils. They are naturally water resistant and are dishwasher safe. The Calphalon plastic utensils are great. No problem with them. But if you want Calphalon wood wash them by hand. Hope this helps The finish is natural unfinished wood.

Hi Diana. Looks like everyone else has it covered. The heads of the spatulas are smooth with no ridges. Thanks! Matt - StarPack Team

It is smooth but not glossy. It has a very light rough finish. It has an outstanding fit though.
