Silicone Kitchen Tools

So, just like every good chef needs a good knife, every good chef also needs to invest in some proper kitchen tools.

And everyone has their own preference. Mine is silicone.

I really love and appreciate silicone cooking utensils and tools.
Mostly because I am not a fan of plastic coming in contact with heat as this has been known to cause cancer. Read more about this here!

But with silicone the risks of evil toxic plastics being released into the food are lessened due to the fact that it can withstand heat for up to 400 degrees F unlike other materials such as nylon.

I have enjoyed using Oxo silicone cooking utensils and Le Creuset as well.

 I am also a HUGE lover of these silicone BBQ tongs from Jamie Oliver's line.
They are awesome for flipping over chicken breasts on my grill pan.
