Finally in the teflon pan without scraping stir - that was the sense of the acquisition of this wooden spoon, and accurately he fulfills perfectly this purpose. Now, after 3 months of daily use with subsequent cleaning in the dishwasher it is still like new. By the metal core pleasantly hard, he worked mainly andem "hanger" and at the top (where it without core consists only of silicon). To me only a bit windy In use, however it turns out to be very stable, even with heavy and fried dishes such as fried rice odeer potatoes. So you can in the pan without scraping be afraid to attack the coating. I do not use the hanger by the way, but stocked it in the drawer. I would buy it again at any time, think based on my previous experience, however, that this will last.
