Unfortunately, I would not recommend this item due to poor quality and design. The materials used in this flat beater are not durable. Once the coating sheds, the exposed metallic material underneath rubs off on your hands. In my opinion, at that point, the beater is no longer safe to come in contact with food and must be discarded. Also note, the general mechanical design creates a negative user experience. This flat beater is not wide enough for the bowl which requires the user to frequently scrape the sides and bottom of bowl, not an easy feat when you're working with a bowl-lift mixer. If the beater was approx. 1" wider this issue may be resolved. My assumption is that the manufacturer didn't fully test/validate the design and materials before purchasing the tooling or the manufacturer didn't have the time/resources to invest in new tooling/materials.
