I purchased these today for myself, while the handles hold water, they work ok.
This set was perfect, I was re-organizing my kitchen and decided to replace all of my utensils since they were beat up or not sturdy. When I received the package I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of all the items in the package. There are so many pieces and included things I didn't even know I needed. The bonus egg poacher was perfect for my hubby, he loves them.
This will be my go to house warming or bridal shower present.
So I bought this for one reason, I needed a lot of utensils in my kitchen, and this was a means to getting everything I needed (and a bunch of stuff I didn't). Some of the utensils will more than likely never be used. However, it really was a great purchase in terms of getting a bunch of utensils for a cheap price. I didn't expect them to be of the greatest quality, but I wasn't looking for that. The tongs have melted a bit on the tips. The can opener wasn't the greatest, neither was the garlic press. However, I do think that if you are in need of a bunch of utensils, this is the way to go. You get everything that you need, for a fraction of the cost. You can build up your cookware as you go with better pieces, but this gets the job done.
I was making a grilled cheese and the tip of the spatula melted on its first use. It wasn’t ever in contact with the pan for more than a fraction of a second, as I was simply using it to flip my sandwich. Shocked and obviously very disappointed.
Bought this set after a recent renovation at my condo. I completed a kitchen reno and realized I had gotten rid of many of my kitchen utensils before the move. This set had a ton of options. I really love the garlic press. There is a variety of spoons and spatulas. I really have been cooking so much more since the renovation and this set has a load of option. Just made a watermelon granita and used the fruit juice squeezer for my fresh lime juice. This would be a great set for a bridal shower. Would give the new bride all types of gadgets are a great price.
I initially really liked this set of high quality Kitchen Utensils. I was moving out for the first time and it was an amazing "cover all" kitchen utensil kit. Now 4 months later I wish I went with a higher quality brand. The spatulas I use a lot and they aren't as heat resistant as I'd like. They burn on the top of the spatula and melt a little bit when our stove-top is on medium or higher. It is not significant, but makes it much harder to clean and feels much lower quality.
I would recommend these to get for most people needing a fresh set of kitchen supplies. Just be wary that you may need to replace some of the utensils after a short time.
Edit, was refunded fully for the product and upped my review to four stars. Good customer support makes this definitely worth a try
Great first time products but dont use directly on the hot surfaces the spatulas melt almost as soon as they touch the pan I would recommend getting other spatulas or you will get plastic in your food.
I used the can opener twice. Once to open a can of black beans, the second time to open a can of tuna. I didn't get to complete opening the tuna and had to continue with a knife because the first can our of 2 because the opener black piece, cracked down the middle literally, leaving me to improvise on my daughter's lunch preparation. After the crack, the whole can opener fell apart.
