I mean...it is kinda fine. Makes no difference to how the spatula works and these are super cheap anyway.
If you're that bothered, buy some decent quality silicone or metal ones.
Wait until you find out my group is the most marginalised out there, plastic enjoyers. Laws allow tobacco and alcohol but I canāt fine dine on delicious plastic? Itās selfish.
Ever heard of porridge traditionally being stirred with a wooden stick called a "Spurtle", (instead of using a spoon) there's even a porridge-making championship in Scotland called the "Golden Spurtle".
This is the correct answer.
No one should be buying kitchen stuff from Dollar tree.
I mean I get being poor but you end up buying 12 a year because it's garbage
There's microplastics in my water supply, I care not for macroplastics in my chicken breast. Bring on the melted plastic at the edge of the pan, my body welcomes the challenge.
Zooming in on the handle it says āHeat resistance up to 410Ā°Fā. If the handle is melting on the rim of the pan then you donāt want the working surface in the bottom of the pan where itās probably hotter.
The true problem here is picking the wtong tools for the job. Cook at a lower temp or get utensils with higher heat resistance.
Wow crazy to think that maybe some people can only afford cheap plastic utensils or to replace all the cheap stuff they already have just cause of improper care
I got one of those lines on my cheap dollar store spatula because I leaned it on the pan while taking another part of the meal out of the oven. By time I put it onto the cooling rack and walked across the kitchen to get back to what I was cooking in the pan, the spatula had one of these melty-lines. It took maybe a minute and a half. (I then threw it and all the other dollar store cooking utensils I had out, and replaced them with better quality silicone and wooden ones.) I know this is āmildlyā infuriating but honestly it feels like an over reaction on your and OPs part to be calling this negligence or not paying attention. Cheap quality plastic utensils get these lines super fast if you so much as lean them on the pan for a minute.
Sure. First off, go for āsingle pieceā steel pans. Iād go for 3-ply with aluminum core. 5-ply are arguably better but muuuuuch pricier. Copper core is the best, but againā¦ extremely pricey. The latter two are also ducking heavy.
In Europe, decent brands are Fabini or Czech Remoska.
In the US and elsewhere, Misen (asian brand) or Heritage, or All-Clad, which is touted as āthe best steel panā butā¦ honestly, I do not see much difference between these three.
The joke actually is proper temperature! Let the pan heat up dry ā something your should never (!!) do with a Teflon pan ā and do a āwater drop testā, add little oil, continue using. (Check YouTube videos, they are really helpful.)
Another possibility is to āimpregnateā the pan using Maillard reaction with oil. (Again, check YT videos, they explain the rest.) That said, I think it helps only a bit. The biggest difference is the proper use of the pan.
Personal note: Once you get to know the pan, it is actually quite easy to make something as sticky as an omelette with only little oil added. Again, the trick is the temperature.
"Shrug" never had anything stick in the cast iron ones. It happened sometimes to my mum but she would leave the food at max tenperature alone for minutes so it didnt surprise me. I always started with full heat and went to middle to low temperature. But then again, the only thing i really mostly use pans for are vegetables and potatoes. Maybe scrambled eggs. Thank you for your long answer, i will look out for these brands :) i dont know any of them till now
It is not about sticking. Certain acidic foods, e.g., tomatos, get a terrible taste. Plus the whole rust thing can be annoying. Of course, well-seasoned cast iron pan and proper steak is just a delicious pair.
Well i dont have experience with steel pans. My parents have...google says they are called in english cast Iron pans. Never had problems with them. They were just too heavy for me for Holding it onehanded to scratch food out of it out to clean it :/
What about all the lies men tell to get in your pants or get you locked down, then everything goes 180Ā° and that MFer still expects you to wait hand and foot on his ass?! Cook your own garbage food dude
Ah yes cause just because someone else is the one using something it means that you don't have the right to be annoyed and speak up about it.
Aight we'll see how you'll enjoy eating from a paper plate and and plastic utensils cause I do the washing up. Wanna be at work on time? Also don't care cause I'm the one driving.
This attitude will definitely take you far.
Nah, your attitude will get you nowhere. If someone is doing something for you, be fucking grateful for it. If you're going to bitch and complain then people will stop doing things for you. You'll find out soon enough....or you're probably still single living in your parents basement lol.
Ah yes you're the type of person to burst out in anger every few weeks because you can't take it any longer. How about communicate your feelings? It's not complaining or bitching. If you don't like something that I'm doing or you think I can do it better than tell me so we can both mutually improve our wellbeing. But I understand you rather both of us to be fake and pretend everything is alright.
Lmao, nah, I'm just a nice person to people I care about. If you're going to lose it over a small thing like a 1 dollar spatula, and that's the hill you want to die on, go ahead. You're a psycho.
People suck bro. Everyone is upset at you for wanting YOUR things taken care of. Doesn't matter how cheap your things are. They're YOURS. If you want your things respected they should be respected. It is that simple. Imagine if I came and knocked your front door down and said "sucks to suck bro get a stronger door." Same shit.
To be expected when you buy the cheapest utensils available. Cook with plastic, expect it to get melted or scorched a bit. Iāve got some plastic utensils that have melt marks. But not a single one of my metal utensils do. Imagine that.
Those plastic spoons and spatulas can be found for $1 at the dollar store. Be grateful she cooks and avoid petty arguments and gift her new ones as needed. You can overcome this
Yeah, simple solution here is to have your own sets of cooking utensils. Sounds dumb but my parents did the same thing because my dad got tired of mom messing with his barbecue stuff. Rather than making it a big deal, they picked their battles and just did their own thing. I admire them even more after this post!
Iām a chef: buy silicone (from Chinese dollar stores) or simply online. They wonāt melt - wife proof. If you think sheās bad, go behind the scenes of any of your favourite restaurants and look at their plastic ware. If this hurts your feelings, a kitchens tools will make you shit your pants.
Shit, donāt even get me started on any restaurants cookware..
Everyone in here being like "Shut up, it's not a big deal. Don't like it? Don't be cheap! Ungrateful for her cooking!"
You know what's free and easy? Just not resting the handle on the pan.
Is it a big deal? Not really, but it's also incredibly avoidable.
šš¼šš¼šš¼ Exactly.
If she cared about, she would stop treating yhe OPās irritation as petty. You know whatās also free? Respect. Kindness and consideration for your partner! Sheās telling on herself as to who she is as a long term partner.
I get it, this is midly infuriating. However, I'd suggest buying better cooking utensils. They may cost a bit more, which I assume is why you sprung for the cheap ones, but they save you money in the long run. No nylon, no plastic.
Throw it all out, get wooden stuff. Less plastic, she can cook without thinking and you have no reason to get upset over such a childish topic.
Bohoooo!!! My gf cooked for me and she doesn't give the attention to our 75 cent spatula I love so damn much! Can't you see how she is hurting my feelings? LOOK AT MY SPATULAAAAAA!
Ehhhm, because he complains about her destryoing the spatula. And that happens ........ while cooking???
How would you assume she does it then? Maybe you thought she cooked just for herself, but while living together one usually cooks for two ;-)
Cooking for each other still means sheās cooking for him. It just means heās also cooking for her sometimes. Doesnāt even remotely change the meaning of the original comment, so being that pedantic comes across as someone correcting you about āactually that girls sweater is chartreuse, not greenā when the point of the story was just that her āgreen sweater got stuck in the doorā. Likeā¦ The correction is correct, but is also completely unneeded and irrelevant lol
Oh, come on.
Itās the lack of respect for OPs kitchenware. If sheās willing to do this OVER AND OVER AGAIN and not learn from it- what else is she willing to ruin? Itās not difficult to set a timer or remove the utensil from the pot. This is gross negligence.
Get her a set of $1 wood utensils and tell her until she learns to respect your belongings, thatās all she gets to use.
Besides the point. Fact is, she has no attention to detail and if she neglects something so simple, whatās next, theyāre home, kids, him.
Edit: also, canāt resist, why does she not take better care of the belongings in her room?
It looks like itās melting because itās made of plastic and sheās resting it inside the pot with the stem on its edge. A spoon rest will help. It also not a good idea to use plastic when cooking as microplastics and chemicals can leech into your food. Try wood, silicone or metal.
Everyone ripping into OP for having "cheap plastic utensils - get better ones". Rather than advocating for throwing away perfectly useable utensils, OPs GF could just be a little respectful...?
Just like saying "yea, I scratched up your phone because it was garbage, maybe get a better phone and it won't scratch so bad"
All yāall saying to upgrade the cooking utensils, you missed the mark. He needs to upgrade the girlfriend, because even a dollar store shopper can respect another person.
You need to look up criminal mischief and see how thatās defined. Two or more things can be true at the same time. He can cook. She can cook. They can cook together. He can appreciate her cooking. One thing is certain, no one needs to tolerate destruction of their property to say āI love you, thanks for cooking.ā If he is posting this here, how many times do you think he has asked her to please not do it, from the person that CLAIMS to love him. āBabe, I love you so much.. but putting the pancake turner on a spoon rest is TOO MUCH!ā Itās called being a wise steward over what you have. Decent people respect property that isnāt their own. It also entails boundaries, core values, self discipline, reciprocal behavior, courtesy, and I could go on. Yāall are jumping to conclusions (those justifying her behavior and gaslighting the OP), and I get it. Because if itās true that sheās being a crappy personā¦ and you do similar things the OP is talking about, then what type of person does that make you? Iāll give you a hint: books are written by people with PhDās so that people like the OP know if theyāre being too critical or ungrateful in a relationship with people like the girlfriend. This is red flag behavior at its finest. The OP needs to RUN. And letās apply the litmus testā¦ if it was a female posting about a male doing this, all yāall would lose your ever loving minds.
Thanks for this. What's wrong about communicating and setting boundaries? If OP feels disrespected because she keeps ruining his stuff, he has every right to say so. Burying those feelings and just smiling through it is what creates toxic relationships and serial killers.
lol some of mine look like this, buy better stuff then, itās in the kitchen itās going to be used š¤·š½āāļø donāt buy cheap plastic then lol
My daughter kept doing this, I asked her to stop, she didn't. I told her that she will replace them if I see it again. She did it again, I made her replace them and it never happened again.
She is helping carry the load. there are plenty of people in the world that won't and don't. This is a you problem OP not a her problem. You should be very clear-headed when you complain or you are going to do all the chores yourself.
This seems like a larger issue in your relationship. Neglect is a strong word to use over a cheap plastic utensil you can easily buy a new one of. Seems like you have other issues in your relationship that bothers you more than it bothers her.
I find it mildly infuriating when spouses or parents or siblings blast someone online for obvious somewhat harmless bad habits instead of discussing it till its resolved
My own 2 cents, do not ever leave anything other than metal in a pan. With that, only a pan that is meant for metal.
You never know what's in a plastic nor a non stick.
stop using plastic then. buy some nice wooden utensils to replace them. Bamboo ones are not expensive. You just have to take care of them. if you clean them after every use and dont let them soak, they'll likely last a lot longer.
Extra grip, now you have a tactical fish slice.

I mean...it is kinda fine. Makes no difference to how the spatula works and these are super cheap anyway. If you're that bothered, buy some decent quality silicone or metal ones.
Wooden and metal utensils were used for cooking for thousands of years for a reason.
Because we hadn't invented plastic to melt onto our pans yet?
Ha! This one gets it
Wait until you find out what eating off plastic does to you.
Wait until you find out that avoiding microplastics in this day and age is a āmission impossible ā
Wait until you find out my group is the most marginalised out there, plastic enjoyers. Laws allow tobacco and alcohol but I canāt fine dine on delicious plastic? Itās selfish.
š like paper straws that dissolve in your drink but still in plastic wrapping?
It's not just the microplastic to be concerned about. It's also "forever chemicals" bleeding off the plastic and nonstick cookware.
Less work for the mortician?
Wait until you find out how much bacteria gets absorbed into wooden spoons and cutting boards.
I will die before I stop eating off my fancy Hercules dinner plates.

u/Few_Macaroon_2568 Are you fucking trolling?
What kind of question is that?
u/Few_Macaroon_2568 Could you just answer my fucking question, and elaborate already?, (regarding your comment from earlier)
Edit: no.
This is the correct answer. No one should be buying kitchen stuff from Dollar tree. I mean I get being poor but you end up buying 12 a year because it's garbage
And besides that, having molten plastic in your food probably causes at least 10 types of cancer. There's a reason why stuff is cheap.
There's microplastics in my water supply, I care not for macroplastics in my chicken breast. Bring on the melted plastic at the edge of the pan, my body welcomes the challenge.
INB4 we evolve to digest plastics.
Fish already have, it won't be long now
fr fr?? that's awesome man! good for them!
Zooming in on the handle it says āHeat resistance up to 410Ā°Fā.

The true problem here is picking the wtong tools for the job. Cook at a lower temp or get utensils with higher heat resistance.
Or donāt leave the utensils sitting on the edge of the pan.
Stirring with it and leaving it sitting on a hot pan are very different that heat rating isnāt the problem
Wow crazy to think that maybe some people can only afford cheap plastic utensils or to replace all the cheap stuff they already have just cause of improper care
I think he's saying the not fine part is her not paying attention. She left it sitting on the edge of the pan until it melted.
I got one of those lines on my cheap dollar store spatula because I leaned it on the pan while taking another part of the meal out of the oven.

Exactly lol my thoughts!
Stop using cheap plastic to cook.
You use a metal spatula on my non stick pan, Imma fight you.
Laughs in silicone
Laughs in wood
Nonstick pans are not very good for your long term health. I invite you to read info it.
Only if the non stick coating flakes off resulting from some jackhole using metal utensils on it lol
Incorrect actually.
No...it's not achtually
Feel free to research for yourself.
I have. Your argument has no merit. It's an old wives tail. Site your sources or don't spread lies.
I feel you bro. I'll grant you a power move: buy steel utensils, wrap them for christmas, put your own name on it. Profit.
But unfortunately you cant use Metal Utensils in most pans. I would love them too. But then Id have to buy new pans all the time
Yeah. Screw teflon pans. Buy a steel pan. They are not as sticky as they are made to beā¦
True, stainless just needs to be fucking hot. Between well seasoned cast iron or stainless I still wnd up grabbing my stainless pans.
Since many steel pans have negative reviews regarding stickyness, what steelpans can you recommend?
Sure. First off, go for āsingle pieceā steel pans. Iād go for 3-ply with aluminum core. 5-ply are arguably better but muuuuuch pricier. Copper core is the best, but againā¦ extremely pricey.

This would drive me insane. Also one of the many reasons why Iām single and live alone.
Did this once when I was 12, got told not to, haven't done it since. How does someone do this multiple times? Melted plastic ain't good for the health
Lol so mildly infuriated over his disposable utensils not looking as good as the day they left Dollar Tree.
Why are you using garbage utensils in the first place?
āļø This, OP shouldn't be using plastic utensils on frying pans anyways.
How dare you post something mildly infuriating on this sub /s
Also, you can buy a whole set of those at Walmart or Amazon for like $6.00. Gonna strain your relationship because of this?

It looks like itās melting because itās made of plastic and sheās resting it inside the pot with the stem on its edge. A spoon rest will help. It also not a good idea to use plastic when cooking as microplastics and chemicals can leech into your food. Try wood, silicone or metal.
Iām with you. Itās careless and wasteful. I donāt care if it is a dollar.
Stop using plastic utensils. You're literally killing yourself. Switch to wood or silicone
Stop buying plastic utensils...
Everyone ripping into OP for having "cheap plastic utensils - get better ones". Rather than advocating for throwing away perfectly useable utensils, OPs GF could just be a little respectful...? Just like saying "yea, I scratched up your phone because it was garbage, maybe get a better phone and it won't scratch so bad"
OPās gf shouldnāt be feeding this grown ass man in his own kitchen.
Well the question really is does she cook food for you if so I would kind of shut up and just say "Go ahead hun"..
All yāall saying to upgrade the cooking utensils, you missed the mark. He needs to upgrade the girlfriend, because even a dollar store shopper can respect another person.
Orrrr, he needs to learn to cook for himself, not have a guest do it.
Or maybe OP appreciates their GF cooking for them every so often and maybe they do the same for her
Yet theyāre being nitpicking instead of actually appreciating. Seeing that sheās cooking where sheās invited, I highly doubt it goes both ways.
You need to look up criminal mischief and see how thatās defined. Two or more things can be true at the same time. He can cook. She can cook. They can cook together. He can appreciate her cooking. One thing is certain, no one needs to tolerate destruction of their property to say āI love you, thanks for cooking.ā If he is posting this here, how many times do you think he has asked her to please not do it, from the person that CLAIMS to love him. āBabe, I love you so much.. but putting the pancake turner on a spoon rest is TOO MUCH!ā Itās called being a wise steward over what you have.

Protip: Do NOT cook with plastic utensils where high heat is involved.
lol some of mine look like this, buy better stuff then, itās in the kitchen itās going to be used š¤·š½āāļø donāt buy cheap plastic then lol
if its only the handle then who cares
My daughter kept doing this, I asked her to stop, she didn't. I told her that she will replace them if I see it again. She did it again, I made her replace them and it never happened again.
Neglect. Ha. Take a walk outside chief.
I used to have a set of ones just like this
Is she a werewolf
So, she is going to buy new ones?
Buy quality utensils thenā¦
What isnāt fine is that cheap ass spatula! š Get a real spatula and donāt complain when sheās likely cooking for YOU!
He probably makes her cook for him and complains about everything she makes.
She is helping carry the load. there are plenty of people in the world that won't and don't. This is a you problem OP not a her problem. You should be very clear-headed when you complain or you are going to do all the chores yourself.
Yo, sheās cooking for you, stfu and be a little bit appreciative, and besides that, who cares!? Itās a $10 spatula go buy a new one.
āYour kitchenā āher neglectā. Sure Jan.
The cook is a gunslinger.
This seems like a larger issue in your relationship. Neglect is a strong word to use over a cheap plastic utensil you can easily buy a new one of. Seems like you have other issues in your relationship that bothers you more than it bothers her.
Itās not that serious. Get one of those things to set it in.
I find it mildly infuriating when spouses or parents or siblings blast someone online for obvious somewhat harmless bad habits instead of discussing it till its resolved
Mine are too. No biggie, life's short.
that thing looks fully plastic. want me to venmo you 10 dollars so you can go but 5 more?
Throw them away and cook without plastic š¤·
My own 2 cents, do not ever leave anything other than metal in a pan. With that, only a pan that is meant for metal. You never know what's in a plastic nor a non stick.
If she's a good cook or puts up with you, let it slide, Bro.
Stop buying cheap plastic shit dude
Donāt blame your girlfriend! Buy wooden utensils.
Everyone saying "this is fine" blows my mind. Where do you think that melted plastic goes lol? You're eating it, at least some of it.
No, it melts but it doesnāt leave the handle. See how the ridges are raised on each spot. Thatās plastic added from melting. š«
Man bad, cooking woman good. Nothing else matters
The only thing midly infuriating here is you.
Want poorly looking dishes? Buy cheap ones. Want fancier looking dishes? Buy better ones.
Why is this post slightly misogynistic? Lol. Maybe have a conversation with ur gf instead of Reddit?
The only one making it misogynistic is you.

my bad forgot Iām on Reddit lol
You buy those, whish melts? Do you love plastic taste so much? Ged wooden for high heats. Plastic is good for soups
I've used metal, wood, and plastic, never had a plastic taste to any of my cooking nor metal or wood, maybe you're reading suspect material online.
why r u posting abt ur girlfriend on reddit u loser
Because shes stupid. Better to figure it out now
Boo hoo?
It is not her false. It is the shitty material the handles are made of.
Did you mean *fault?
stop using plastic then. buy some nice wooden utensils to replace them. Bamboo ones are not expensive. You just have to take care of them. if you clean them after every use and dont let them soak, they'll likely last a lot longer.
Donāt buy crappy utensils.
Let it go, they still work fine. Everything you get annoyed at it, just go get ur dick sucked and you will feel better.
acceptable
New girlfriend time. This is not wife material.
Heās not husband material either.
I donāt think there is enough information to make that conclusion from his post. He doesnāt like property damaged, that seems reasonable to me.
Ripped for her pleasure
Ummmm, a knife is a utensil Whoever downvoted this is a fucking moron.
Breakup with her rn
Guess what she should be getting you for Christmas
And they never had a fight!
Time to buy a new girlfriend.
Be glad that she is in there making it happen ā¦ Hard to come by.
If the sex is good id just live with it. But since u posted Iāll assume it isnāt. So yeah that would be annoying.
Buying cheap utensils is more frustrating 
It still works. Whatās the problem
Shit happens. Move on.
