Problem W/ Wilton silicon spatula set - Heads coming off the handles Got my set in Nov. 2009 & the heads ( the business end ) came off everyone of these within the first or second use . I tried applying "Duco Cement " , being sure that it was completely cured & found this doesn't work at all . I'm concerned about what else to use to keep them on that is strong enough & completely food safe as well.Anyone else have this problem ? How did you deal with it ? Thank You for any helful input.

I plan on buying these and I think the answer is to thoroughly clean the handle and the pocket it fits into and fill it with enough clear silicone caulk to seal and glue it for good. If you're concerned about contamination I don't think it'd be an issue as the caulk is almost 100% silicone when dry and will be on the inside of the flexible spatula piece anyways.

I bought the wilton silican set and liked them. However about a year into my use the heads broke off of on one and all three broke within two years.

Alan, thanks so much for sharing this. I have some 'silicone spatulas' with wood handles that were ofcourse never 'adheared' to the head, I have to take care not to get the 'connection' contaminated with what ever it is I am using it for. If you run across a solid sil spat, pls let me know. I'll do the same.

I have had my pans for over a year now and have not seen anything coming off the surface. I would contact the manufacturer if your concerned about it leaching.

I can only tell you that I purchased the DuraCeramic and it consistently burned the food. I tried to cook eggs over easy and the eggs would stick to the surface, bacon turned black. I melted the end of a nylon spatula with the dial set on warm! I was told that there none available to exchange so I took the black one and had to eat the price difference. It works fine! It's possible that the cream one was defective, but I no longer wanted to take the chance. There were a couple comments on Amazon that said their food burned, before I bought it. I should have listened. Save your money and buy a black one; it works great. I can only tell you that I purchased the DuraCeramic and it consistently burned the food.

No. Never known a pizzelle maker where plates came off. Just use damp paper towel. Throw out first two cookies of next batch if you are worried. Yea, for non-stick!

Hi Mary, The heads of the spatula's are 100% pure FDA approved, food grade silicone. The handles are plastic. Hope this answers your question.

Same problem. I sprayed mine also and they still came out messed up. I won't use it nowl. I bought a nice metal pan and have no problems with it.

Hi Joyce. I have never had any problem with the pads coming off, ever. Is it possible you may have a defective wand? When looking at my wand, if I hold it too far down it trips the lever that releases the pad. This would be an easy thing to do if hands were wet, slippery from ? or in some cases too dry. I wish I could help you more but those are the only things I could think of.

I've had a similar problem. However, I realized that i wasn't pushing the screwdrivers down far enough into the handles after use. That's the only time that I experienced an issue with the pliers getting caught or stuck on the screw drivers.

I had stainless also and the thing wouldn't stick at all, maybe if you had a larger bowl? That might help. Or a larger bowl that was ceramic?Basically I think the thing is worthless, maybe if you stuck it on with super glue--Nah, buy something else that makes more sense.

I have never had any issues with food (eggs, or otherwise) sticking to this spatula. This is one of my favorites!!However, to be more helpful, I'll need a little more information... How does your husband prepare his eggs? (over easy, sunny-side up, scrambled, etc) What does he currently use to cook them? (Stainless steel pan, non-stick pan, butter, PAM, etc)And, what exactly is the issue that he's currently having?

I always spray mine with a nonstick spray and a gentle sponge and dish soap has always worked for me. If not, perhaps soaking it in a warm sudsy water until the cake batter can easily be removed.

I found the "stirrer" can stick, perhaps from some milk residue. After the first time I began just pushing down on stirrer to break any bond, which loosens it, and it has never happened again.

I haven't had any trouble with the finish on my Dutch oven and lid. No problem with flaky or black stuff on my handles or on my hands. I've been wiping it with vegetable oil using a paper towel after use.

I just turn the pan over a little and they slide right out. I've never had any sticking at all so I've never needed a tool, but I'm sure a small spatula would work if you don't want to tip the pan.

They should just come out with out using spatula. Mine jat come out when I turn the pan over.

It was a pain.... I couldn't believe the location of them! I used veggie oil and let sit in the sink. Then used old fashioned elbow grease to be totally rid of them. They are awesome. Years ago I had a plastic set, but lost them in the divorce. The stainless steel are much better! Good Luck

I was going through the same thing and read suggestions here. They really helped. I ended up using a small safety pin bent up and sat on table pointing up.Pressed the tiny hole onto to it all the way and then used a mid size short screw driver to nudge that batter cover off. So glad it worked!
