The texture of the spoon was a little surprising for a stainless steel utensil, as some had mentioned in previous reviews; however, I have been very happy with this spoon's performance thus far. It is incredibly sturdy, yet light, and its shape allows me to scrape both the bottom and corners of all of my pots and roasting pans. The spoon is truly dishwasher safe, and I haven't noticed any discoloration or signs of rust after the first several washings. I was excited to find some stainless steel utensils made in the USA, and so far, I couldn't be happier!
I love everything I have bought from Rada! The knives are sharp and easily sharpened when needed. The spatulas(turners) are a wonderful size for flipping burgers and pancakes, and the knifee blocks are sturdy and attractive. Rada can't be beat!
Some genius looked at the well worn spoon of a previous time and realized wear on the side that flattened the edge was what made it a favorite. The cook's spoon has copied that creating the perfect shaped spoon. It is unbeatable for stirring, scraping and lifting during meal prep. The material is virtually non-stick and the handle is long enough for the user to avoid getting burned.
I purchased the cook's spoon and also the one with holes for my daughter. I was not sure if she'd like the design but she was thrilled and loves the spoons! When ordering I wasn't sure if I'd placed my order correctly and called Rada. A real person answered my call and was very helpful and friendly. This is a great American company with top notch products.
