Most of our plastic spatulas, whisks and ladles can take temperatures up to at least 220°C (428°F), which is higher than most normal cooking temperatures. So you can leave your plastic utensils in the frying pan for a while without worrying. If you have pans with a non-stick finish, we recommend you use plastic or wooden utensils. They're softer than metal and gentler on the inside of the pan.

IKEA 365+ HJÄLTE is a series of sturdy, hardwearing kitchen utensils that make cooking both easier and more fun. The utensil head is made of heat-resistant plastic, which is kind to the pot surface, and the handle is made of silicon rubber, which provides a firm grip and protects from heat. A small notch on the handle keeps the utensil from sliding into the pot. And if you choose to hang up your utensils by the round hole in the handle, you will always have them close by - 365 days a year.
