This is my favorite kitchen spoon! Its hefty and has an incredible weight to it! It is great for making sauces and stir fry's and so many other things. It doesn't abuse my pans; a lot of utensils like to scratch my pans and these do not. I like the way the feel in my hand and make me feel more confident while cooking. The spoon even has a nice "spoon hole" space for scooping plenty of sustenance. I really love this spoon.
