If you, too, were today-years-old when you found out that food-grade silicone cooking tools are safe to use up to about 600 degrees Fahrenheit, we’ve got some great news for you. I literally just found this out, and until recently, I’ve always stuck to wooden and stainless-steel utensils for stirring, flipping, and prodding, afraid that other materials would melt or burn. (Ironically enough, I scorched my hand on a metal spoon not too long ago after leaving its handle propped against the hot edge of a soup pot.) And, if any brand has the chops to convince me of silicone’s heat-resistant capabilities, it’s ThermoWorks. When it comes to temperature, you can trust these folks — not only is this the company behind one of our favorite food thermometers here at Kitchn, but they also have a line of silicone cooking utensils for nearly every possible culinary need, and most of them are on sale! Check out these awesome finds, and stock up on spatulas, oven grips, and other durable gear ahead of the holiday season.

Oftentimes, silicone tools are much easier to clean than ones made of other materials, and this spatula is no different. You can use it for a variety of purposes, including scraping all the batter or food out of your cookware. The spatula has a curved edge as well as a flat one, so it can get into the tightest corners and wipe bowls clean. Snag it in a small, medium, or large size.

If you own one of ThermoWorks' chef-grade probes, I'll bet it's one of your prized kitchen possessions. You want to keep it safe from other items in the drawer that could topple over, which is why you need this smart probe spool. It keeps the spindly metal from getting tangled, allowing you to pull your probe out at a moment's notice when needed. The spool is also magnetic, so you can stick it onto the fridge for easy storage.

Spatulas are must-haves in your cooking station because they're useful for pretty much everything — well, everything except scooping. Not to worry, though, because that's what the spoonula is for! Essentially a spoon/spatula hybrid, this clever tool prevents you from having to switch utensils in between cooking and serving. And, for under $9, it's a total steal.

If you frequently cook meat, this brush is a marinating must-have. Whether you're baking chicken or preparing ribs on the grill, its flexible bristles will ensure that your slabs are evenly coated and flavorful. You can buy the large size to get the job done faster or the small one for more precise strokes. Plus, when you're finished, the brush can go right in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.

Oven mitts take up a lot of drawer space, and they tend to tear and stain over time. You won't have those issues with these circular trivets, which also come in a larger rectangular form. The hotpad's non-slip textured material will keep even your heaviest pans secured in your hands. Additionally, this piece is going for just $7, so you might as well grab two and make it a set!
