Epicurean Gourmet Series 3-piece Utensil Set, Natural/Black Nylon

My belief in Epicurean kitchen items has nothing to do with their skateboarding roots. Instead- a cutting board was my jumping off point. After using polyethylene boards as an alternative to wood, and glass as an alternative to poly, I moved to Epicurean and was hooked. Once I discovered their utensils, I had to take a shot. I now have nothing but bamboo and Epicurean Gourmet Series utensils in my fleet.The spoon in this three piece set is quite large and the gradation marks make it versatile; eliminating need for a measuring cup for precise, small-meal cooking. The turner is, as described- MEDIUM, so you're not going to turn hotcakes with much success. However, although narrow'sh (3"), its depth makes it more useful than anticipated for bigger flips. The ladle is somewhat large and nontraditional- more of a deep spoon (holding about a cup of liquid) which makes it difficult to use as a true ladle if you are heaping sauce or plunging into a stock pot before transferring to bowls. It too has gradated markings to aid measuring, potentially eliminating another dirty measuring cup. It has some small "strainer" holes in it's leading edge, that are nice if you want to sift out chunky stuff, but ultimately limit liquid capacity a bit.Really, that's my only knock- the odd'ish ladle/deep spoon. The materials are performing exceptionally well- nylon heads are hard enough to do work, but soft enough to not scratch non-stick pans. Handles are hard and stiff (in a good way) but comfortable in hand. The marriage point between the heads and wood-fiber composite handles (I ordered the "natural" handle option) is sturdy and very secure. I have been using these utensils daily for about six months. They have flipped, stirred and served pretty much every food imaginable with no discoloration, heat warping, delamination, or other wear/failure. They have been through dozens of dishwasher cycles and hand washing events and look brand new, unlike some other nylon utensils that chalked over and started to separate at their fine edges after half of the cleaning scrutiny.They are made in the USA (shocking, I know), by what appears to be a responsible, "green" company. I have been very pleased with their product and their approach to manufacturing.

Used daily but like most flippers the tips eventually get worn and will deteriorate.

I came here hoping that they still manufactured this set, because I have one and I'd love another, just for when these tools are in my dishwasher. They're absolutely perfect for both nonstick and metal pans, too. They stand up to heat, they clean easily, they clean up in the dishwasher without any problem, and they're terrific to use. I especially love the turner -- I'd buy another in a heartbeat.Please, please, start making these again! I hope this isn't a COVID casualty!

I have transitioned all my cutting boards to Epicurian. They are sturdy, dishwasher safe, not think, easy to store, etc. So when I saw these I had to try, and I am again impressed. Nice clean looking, works great.

I've used Epicurean Gourmet utensils for a long time. They are wonderfully resistant to damage and always seem to fit the task at hand. These utensils are no different than the others I used daily. I love them!

I bought the ladle first and came back to buy the whole set. I love how there are measurements in the spoons. The thin profile means they take less room. THe nylon is high quality, strong, and does not shed unlike other brands.

strong awesome .. love them .. keep ordering more dif ones!! MADE IN USA .. plus plus plus!! easy to wash , great to use.. nice weigh to them as well!!

I had an Epicurean spatula that I had purchased elsewhere an number of years ago. I happened to look for it on Amazon and found this. It is a wonderful set and I am happy with the quality.
