Are these spatulas heat resistant at all? Some silicone is good up to 500 degrees F, but I can't find that information on these.

I use mine for stirring soups I make on the stovetop and making scrambled eggs all the time and have never had a problem. I can't say that I've heated them to 500 degrees, though.

All silicone utensils I have had are good for high temps so I would ASSUME these are as well. I have never used any of mine past 425 degrees.

Funny, I thought I read they were heat resistant but I don't see it in the description now...I have left mine leaning in a pan on the stove though, because I thought I read they are heat resistant. I have not had any problems with the handle leaning on the edge of the hot pan/pot. I find them to be very sturdy and love them. I use them all the time.

They can definitely withstand 500 degrees. They are cast iron and nearly indestructible. The only thing that survived when my house burned was my cast iron pans. They survived a heat that melted or warped everything else made of metal. After sitting the ashes and rain for a couple of weeks, I rescued them, scrubbed off the rust, reseasoned and reused them for another 20 years. Just don't put a hot pan under cold water. It will crack. If fact avoid water, detergent and scrubbing as much as possible to build up a non-stick coating. I have had great results with this method: I wipe the pan out with a clean damp cloth, put in a dab of coconut oil (Avoid olive or other oils/fats with a low smoking point for seasoning the pan.) and sit it back into a hot oven or on a low burner until it is completely dry and the oil has melted. I then use a paper towel to spread the oil and remove any excess then put it back in a (preferably warm) oven. Over time a layer of carbonized oil will built up on the surface of the pan making it nearly non-stick. Scrubbing will remove this coating and it will take a while to build it back up.

I don't see any specifics here or on the Kuhn Rikon site, but most silicone is good to at least 400+ degrees F. I've used this wisk over and over when making pan sauces. It stands up to the heat. Love the flat bottom.

Eric, I can tell you when I bought this item it stated in the last line of the item description "Comfortable silicone and cast stainless steel handles are oven safe to 400°f and dual riveted for extra strength, lifetime customer satisfaction - guaranteed" and if I ever become dissatisfied, I will expect them to honor their pledge. Hope this helps. -Don

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 think the silicon is safe to 400 degrees, but it has been a while since I read the instructions that came with them. I haven't tried putting them in the oven myself. But I put them in the microwave all the time. They are designed to vent specifically for that purpose. I love these for freezing leftovers for lunches.BTW, someone else posted that the lids are rubber. That is incorrect. The reason I purchased them was because the lid was silicone.

They are good up to 500 degrees F so I'm pretty sure they are good for baking I know a few people who have used them when making certain edibles...

Whether a cookie sheet or pizza stone, it should be fine, and won't melt as long as you follow the package directions to not heat your oven past the burning point of the actual silicone. I think that's 425 or 450 degrees. These are great!! I use them everyday and even bought two more packs because my Mom and Nonna wanted to steal mine ;)

I recently placed the entire pan in my 350º F oven with the blue silicone handle on it and it had no problem at all. The handle definitely heated up but it did not melt. I imagine the silicone is similar to that used in baking mats such as the Silpat brand which withstand high oven temps.

I don't know the actual temperature they can withstand but I've held them over the grill at 700 degrees while cleaning it and no problem whatsoever. In fact, afterwards I took the gloves off and went to put my cleaning brush up and it was so hot (I didn't realize) I would've burned my hand had I not dropped it. Didn't realize how hot the brush got with the gloves on. I'm all for them but don't quite yet have all the experience with them I'd like. Right now though, I'd say they're a no brainer.

I don't own one of these, but have owned silicone bakeware in the past, and have had mixed results with it. Silicone is a good insulator of heat, and so you'll likely need to increase the recipe temperature slightly (if it's still in the tolerable range of the material, which I believe is 450 for silicone bakeware, but don't quote me on that.) When you bake with it, like any silicone item, you'll want to place it on a cookie sheet, and use plenty of Baker's Joy or Pam with flour, or grease and flour, as this is NOT non stick by any means.Hope this helps!

Truthfully, I don't think these are good for all types of muffins. It's a matter of experimentation, and would I'd suggest using the dark sheet, reducing temp to maybe 360 and keeping an eye on them. If that doesn't work, it's probably a case of going back to the metal tins. That's what I'm going to do with some of my recipes. These things are great, but they can't beat the old metal stuff in many cases. Muffins need a lot of heat on them, and silicone doesn't hold heat.

I tried putting a pot of boiling water on it and that didn't seem to do it any harm. Silicone can be quite heat tolerant but I'm not sure if this particular item would stand up to oven temperatures.

get the highest heat-resistant spatula you can find. Just don't leave it resting on the griddle.

I have had no problem using them on high heat. This is a fine set of cookware.

Good luck finding scientific proof, but consider that Silicone is oven safe to 500 F. In the case of using these for poaching eggs the temp of boiling water is 212 F, so using the poach pods as intended (in simmering/low boil temp water) should limit risks compared to baking tins used closer to the max temperature limits. I use mine regularly and love them. Coating them with olive oil prevents the egg sticking too.

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.
