When I first received the tools, they had a VERY strong plastic-y odor - not something I wanted anywhere near my food! This was a bit unexpected since the listing does mention that the products do not have any odor. Nonetheless, I tried removing the odor a few different ways: the dishwasher, soaking them overnight in water with dish soap, baking soda...no luck.

I then tried Wirecutter's method for removing odors from silicone: a nice bake in the oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit. This did the trick - For about an hour, the smell was STRONG - but the silicone did not melt - which is good, since they are rated up to 600 degrees. After the hour was up, I took the spatulas out and washed them - the smell was gone.

So, if yours arrived smelly, toss them in the oven on low.

Anyway - on to the product - I find them to be excellent. The color is even across all the spatulas, and they have just the right amount of flex and structure. And from a food safety standpoint, I like that these are all one piece and cannot be disassembled.

Overall, I'm satisfied with these products - but I'm also surprised that they smelled so bad.

I think these spatulas but wish the quality control was a little better. I ordered the teal ones, three of them were teal and the other was blue! I would have hated this to have been a gift I gave to someone.
The quality of the spatulas is great, I have used them multiple times and they have held up great.

UPDATE: The seller reached out to me very soon after leaving my review. They sent me a photo of the item to be sure I had received the correct product, I sent a photo of what I received (same). Once they received my photo they quickly sent me out a complete new set; told me not to worry about returning the old one which I thought was wonderful. Returning stuff is always such a hassle. As I stated above the spatulas are excellent quality, I use them daily for everything from stirring to frying and they still look brand new. Customer service is also top-notch. Definitely recommend these if looking for a good quality spatula.

I LOVE THESE!!! THESE BEND JUST RIGHT, ARE STURDY IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES, & WASH VERY WELL IN THE TOP RACK OF MY DISHWASHER. I SEEN ANOTHER VIEWER STATE THERE WAS A FILM FROM THERE DISHWASHER. WELL, I CAN SAY THAT DID NOT HAPPEN TO MINE, & I GOT THE BLACK SET. I LOVE ALL THE SIZES THEY ARE EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!

So far, I am in a lot of love with these utensils. They seem extremely well made/sturdy. The biggest bonus is the singular piece design. It was an amazing thing to NOT lose my spatula head in my brownie mix! Don’t deny it, y’all have felt my pain more than once. I’ve yet to find the glue or epoxy ( go big or go home, right?) That doesn’t wear down rendering my spatulas is essentially useless (until I glue/duct tape/epoxy/screw it back together again. It’s such a tedious thing). Those incidents can now remain in the past and seldom haunt my nightmares. Ain’t nobody got time for that. I now have one less worry and a lot more faith I will survive this pandemic quarantine with my facilities (mostly) in tact. Thanks U-Taste, you may have saved my sanity as well as a ton of time
