What to know about the DI ORO
DI ORO is a kitchen tools brand best known for its 600°F heat-resistant silicone spatula. The Pro-Grade Silicone Spatula won Cook's Illustrated and America's Test Kitchen awards. The full line covers spatulas, tongs, brushes and pasta servers, all built around the same seamless silicone-on-steel design. For cooks who use silicone tools daily. The pro spatula costs roughly twice a generic silicone spatula but lasts years longer because of the seamless head and reinforced core. For occasional cooking, a cheaper spatula is fine. For everyday use, DI ORO pays off in 1-2 years vs replacing cheaper tools. The food-grade platinum silicone heads will not scratch non-stick coatings. This is the main reason silicone is preferred over metal or wood for non-stick cookware. The stainless core stays inside the silicone, never touches the pan. Platinum silicone is cured at a higher temperature without the peroxide catalysts used in cheaper silicone. The result: no chemical taste or smell, higher heat tolerance, more stable color. All DI ORO tools use food-grade platinum silicone. All DI ORO silicone tools are top-rack dishwasher safe. The stainless core inside the silicone head will not rust. For longest life, top rack is recommended over the bottom rack heat element. Up to 600°F (315°C). This covers stovetop sauteing, baking, and even outdoor grilling. Standard kitchen silicone usually tops out at 400-450°F, so the DI ORO spec is significantly higher than most. The flagship silicone spatula has a lifetime warranty on the silicone head. Other tools have multi-year warranties. Contact DI ORO customer service via Amazon listings for replacement claims.
