I use this spoon for baking. It helps mix the batter and move the batter from mixing bowl to pan beautifully, and it also doesn't get batter stuck all over it as it's silky silicone head makes the batter just glide off. If you'e ever battled with stiff scraping spoons that just seem to transfer the batter back and forth (and on to you!) you'll appreciate what a difference this makes. I didn't need it for high heat, though I have used it for sauteing vegetables as well, and it's worked just fine. I have the smaller size as well.Edited to add that I use this daily to help get smoothies out of the machine. Having a spoon that food glides off is enormously helpful, and having gone through repeated uses/washings, this spoon looks as good as the day I bought it (a year ago? something like that)
