The spatulas, I have received now (2015), in any case have no defects.
1. I find it better than high spatulas, where always something can be chipped,
2. You can clean these spatulas in the dishwasher - a practical, time-saving and hygienic than wooden spatulas,
3. You should still look just as perfectly even after years of use, as there is no discoloration.
My spatulas have no adverse odors and no sharp edges. They are neither too flexible nor too rigid. They are therefore ideal for sensitive, coated materials such. As the parts of a raclette grills, suitable.
Absolute buy recommendation!
