Cuisinart Set of 3 Mini Prep-and-Serve Tools

I love all things mini and have slowly been building my own collection of smaller kitchen tools—hubby does more than his fair share of cooking but I admit I like “my” things to be used by only me. I’m a brat like that. No worries, at 6 feet tall he has little interest in trying these out. I’ve purchased the popular GIR brand of mini silicone tools too; while those are nice, I can’t determine much difference in feel or quality between GIR and this more affordable 3-piece set. (GIR does claim their silicone is heat proof to 550 degrees, which is higher than most competitors; I don’t recall that this set came marked with any info for heat tolerance).My favorite is the dark blue spatula/flipper. So handy! Like similar silicone utensils I’ve recently bought, it isn’t very flexible. I’m still on the hunt for the perfect silicone spatula: rigid but with slightly more flex at the neck. This isn’t quite there but I do still reach for it all the time. Usually every single day.The tongs are the most flexible of the set—great for very specific jobs, not necessarily an all-purpose tool. I’ve used the spoon the least, can’t really vouch. But I have run these through the dishwasher now enough to know they’re going to hold up well and that I won’t suddenly have to start babying them. I appreciate they don’t looked stained and aren’t yet peeling/splintering. (I cook with turmeric and so staining is a big deal to me; these survive it!)They arrived well packaged, with no strange odors that often plague imported goods—yes, even ones made by venerable US-owned companies as they’re still made in China— and are nice and sturdy with smooth edges. Just so fun! And a perfect gift or stocking stuffer for any smaller chef.

We graduated to a larger air fryer (Cuisinart 160). We are also moving to silicone cooking utensils to prevent scratching my Calphalon collection and our new air fryer. These tools are great for both. Easy to use, easy to clean. I would recommend to my family and friends. We’ve sorted through our current utensils and we have been able to unclutter our kitchen utensil drawer.

Had a silicone set from Costco and after years they broke. Slowing replacing my cheap nylon ones with silicone again. Nylon utensils always fray and chip. I should have just spent the money and replaced my old set with silicone in the first place. These are cheap but they do not feel cheap at all. Very sturdy bought 2 sets of different kinds and I’m impressed. Why they don’t sell these in a un-mini version I don’t know. Had to buy adult size ones from a different company. If you have an air fryer these are the perfect size also a bonus.

I like that though they are small they are affordable. They are easy to clean, the colors are pretty, they're sturdy, and perform well when used for different cooking or prep purposes.

These three seem smaller than the multiple mini spatula set also by Cuisinart, but I think it’s mostly a trick of scale.The tongs are surprisingly easy to use for anything that’s not actually heavy (you can’t reliably pick up a thick-cut pork chop with them, but chicken drumsticks are doable). I bought the set specifically because I got a small air fryer, and the tongs are the perfect size and work well for all the air-fried goodies I’ve tried.I love the tiny flipper spatula for making eggs. It’s much sturdier than I had guessed it would be.The spoon is great, but its bowl is quite small, so I usually opt for other cooking spoons instead. But I love the colors and enjoy having a full set of these and the mini-spatula set.

These are sturdy, petite but functionally sized, and cute. I use them while camping with a small gas stove.

I love this set! I use all three tools regularly. I had a set for about 7 years and, after regular use, they started wearing down. I bought a replacement set and don't see any change in quality. I still use them regularly and hope this set lasts at least another 7 years!

I like that this set is all silicone with no places for food to get in. It's also a little stiff, with just the right amount of give. The spatula is perfect for flipping mini pancakes. The spoon..spoonula? I use a whole lot for mixing and scooping. Haven't had much of a use for the tongs, but they're cute too. Bright colors are always a bonus. I prefer handwashing these but they have been in the dishwasher loads of times without issues.
