Brooklyn-based ID firm Pensa LLC has recently designed OXO's new silicone turners, reaping the benefits of both steel and nylon. Silicone, unlike nylon which melts at 145 degrees, is heat resistant up to 600 degrees, so the spatula won't melt while leaning on the pan, or (god forbid) whilst making a delicate hollandaise. The steel core with silicone coating gives the ergonomic tools flexible, non-scratching, and heat resistance properties.

Unless, of course, this is actually made of silicon?

designed in part by, ahem, me.
