On the other hand, if you forget to remove the rubber ones from the heat accidentally, they are likely to melt, especially if the temperatures are very high. Although metals may also be able to resist high temperatures to a certain extent, they may rust when exposed to moisture or acids. This makes silicone cooking utensils the better solution for your kitchen requirements. 　　 　　Additionally, a silicone cooking tool that falls in water or to the base of the dishwater erroneously may not melt.

Silicone cooking utensils are able to resist stains because they are generally less porous. You are likely to enjoy using your spatula for a longer period of time than when you use the wooden or rubber ones.
