Cooks used to traditional wood, rubber, plastic, or metal utensils may wonder what advantages lie in products made with silicone. Do you know the advantages of silicone kitchen utensils?
Firstly, silicone kitchen utensils have the extreme advantage of being able to be used at high heats. Many can withstand up to 400 F. (204.44 C) or higher.
Secondly, a silicone utensil that accidentally falls to the bottom of the dishwasher during a wash cycle isn’t likely to melt as plastic handles or rubber implements might.
Finally, if you’re using nonstick cookware, silicone is a great alternative to metal, since it will not scratch nonstick coatings.
