Why are all these reviews saying these spatulas are silicone, when the description mentions several times that the heads are nylon?

I'm not sure. I gave these as a gift but I have a similar pair. I don't know the difference. I would trust the company description about its composite make-up.

The heads ARE silicone, that's why. Nylon utensils are firm and unyielding, yet softer than metal. Silicone is more pliable. Obviously the description is wrong.

While, I bought an imitation brand from china, these are silicone. You should never microwave silicone or plastic, even if they say they are microwave safe they still leach chemicals. Only microwave ceramic or glass.

I think they're nylon. Just to let you know I love this curler set. One of the things I like best is how light it is so your arms don't get so tired. And it works, lots of volume. I'd recommend them.

As far as a product I actually ingest, I don't buy much for myself that is made in China, and NONE for my dog. But for a silicone spatula, I have no problem with this being made in China. I'd prefer that US workers got the job, but they didn't. This is what I'm looking for.

Hi Barbara....These are not cheapy spatuas......the tips are just flexible enough to get the tough spots and the sides are firm enough to clean the sides of the bowl....Hope this helps.......................answered by Barbara

They are a soft Silicone material, but they seem durable as well. So far they have worked wonderfully.

Not according to the reviews on here. They are porcelain-coated steel. At least two folks complained about that. Just read all the reviews.

I only use silicone or nylon cooking utensils. This cookware is extremely durable. I've had mine for quite a while now and not a scratch so far. I bought 3 rubber sink liners at a dollar store and use them as pan protectors between the 3 frying pans I have since they're used every day and I keep them stacked on my stove top. These pans are really great for cooking anything you want. Treat them good and they will cook your food without the chemicals that are in the usual non stick pans. I wrote reviews about these pans you might want to read too. Hope this helps.

Yes, on the bottom of the pans it says "multi-ply 12 element". I will warn you that when I got mine from this seller there was no information that came with them, only the warranty paper. I was looking for an owners manual for care and use instructions. I did a Google search on his company name, BuyDBest Inc.and found a phone number for them. When I called I got an answering machine, left a message and to this day have never gotten a call back. I had previously used waterless cookware so I had some idea of how to use them so I let it go. If you've never used them you might want to invest in a waterless cookware cookbook to get you started. There are some on Amazon. I bought "Healthy Meat and Potatoes for Waterless Cookware" and it has helped me determine cooking times for whatever ingredients I'm using. Despite the small issues, these are really great pans. Absolutely nothing sticks to them so they're easy to clean. I love them and I don't think you'll regret buying them.

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

Considering that Silicone is the popular choice for cooking at high temperatures these days and with good reason. Silicone is soft and easy to sterilize and importantly is non-porous. not to mention it does not contain Bisphenol-A, Phthalates or PVC so it is a safe choice. I did some research before buying these products, and as far as i know they are totally safe.

They are flexible. I love the spatulas they are my go to ones. The colors always catch my eye over my old ones. I try not to leave these in the pan when stirring things but every now again I do and I have never had a problem with melting. Love Them

Alan, thanks so much for sharing this. I have some 'silicone spatulas' with wood handles that were ofcourse never 'adheared' to the head, I have to take care not to get the 'connection' contaminated with what ever it is I am using it for. If you run across a solid sil spat, pls let me know. I'll do the same.

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!

AS said, the heads are and that is the part in contact with food and the heat. However, the handles are great disappointment because they easily get melted if left resting on the edge of the pan for a few seconds. The head also tends to comes off rather easily after a while.

I'd be shocked if they had lead in them. They're silicone, not metal. And they're food grade.
