Silicone Kitchen Tools Can Really Take the Heat

Cooking and baking tools that can take the heat, now that’s a great concept. I decided to break into this new line rather small, I bought a spatula. And boy was I impressed. I can’t wait to branch out to silicone muffin pans, which feel and look like rubber that you can twist, and presto, muffins should pop right out!

I’ve put the spatula through a trial run, and after a year, it still looks new. And yes, I did use it! It has no missing corners; which was usually the case with the old style, which melted away with use. Silicone baking tools have longer handles, and are dishwasher safe.

But their best feature is that the silicone is rated to withstand heat temperatures without melting. However, these ratings vary by manufacturer. My spatula is rated and labeled to withstand 450 degrees. I’ve noticed that some have higher heat ratings of 900 degrees. However, the handles or other parts may not be heat resistant.

How to Organize Kitchen Tools?

Knives, odd baking tools and barbecue gadgets can quickly wreak havoc on your kitchen's carefully constructed organization system. Put these kitchen tools where they belong--and where you won't forget that you even own them. Here is the key steps to oraganize kitchen tools :

--> Edit your collection: Throw out or give away that rusty serrated knife, the apple peeler you've never used and the caked-withgrease grill brush.

--> Keep knives in a knife block, on a magnetic strip on your wall (unless you have young kids) or covered with plastic blade protectors in a drawer.

--> Store the kitchen tools you use often (can opener, vegetable peeler, measuring spoons)in your silverware drawer,where you can get to them easily.

--> Keep lesser-used cutlery and tools (boning knives, oyster shuckers, cherry pitters, meat tenderizers) in a covered plastic container tucked inside a drawer. Tape a list of what's inside to the top of the lid. See 57 Live Better Through Labeling.
