If I need a kitchen gadget I often seek out Joseph Joseph because their design are not only aethetically pleasing but highly functional. This little gadget, however I bought on a whim - I wasn't looking to fill a specific need. I mean who thinks they need a combo turner, spreader, spoon, drainer, cuter? But it's one of the best impulse buys I've ever made! It's particularly good for 1 pot dishes. I used the turner to actually stir ingredients and the cutting edge to cut meat into smaller chunks once browned/sealed. And I use the spatula side for tasting and to scrap out ingredients into a dish. I've never really used it for spreading and only use the slotted spoon if I want to take out a small chunk of something to taste it. For example, if I'm making a pasta bake to collect and taste one of the noodles for firmness.

Honestly this things is great, not only saves on washing up, but it has a nice feel in your hand no matter which way you hold it. I'd just say be careful when you moving from one end to the other within the same cooking session. First time I used it I got grease on my shirt when I flip it around. Now I just have a cloth or paper towel handy to wipe off one surface when I move to the next. It's not a big deal as you're not likely to be moving between the 2 sides often.

I highly recommend this tool for every kitchen!

I love this spoon. I cook a lot for my family and this tool really is all I need sometimes. I keep it next to the burners and it is so nice not having to dig for the right tool for the task. I'm going to buy a second one so I have a clean one and one in the dishwasher. Totally awesome design and fair price.

If I could choose just one utensil I just couldn't live without, it would probably be this one. If, like me, you lack storage space in your kitchen and are looking for something that will definitely live up to its own description as a 5-in-1 tool, then look no further than this spoon. It's perfect for using on non-stick surfaces, and the serrated edge on one side makes it so much more than a spoon. The gorgeous design is just the icing on the cake.

A brilliant tool for all the reasons given by other reviewers, and I would consider it to be an ideal all in one camp cooking tool. The only problem is that the spatula, cutter and spoon are configured for left handers.

The spatula, in particular, is no good for right handed use in saucepans with corners that need to be reached, or even frying pans and woks where you may need to keep moving food off the flat bottom of the pan. In a natural right handed grip, only the longer corner of the spatula touches the pan, meaning you have to lift your elbow unnaturally high to make the edge contact, or reverse the tool (spoon cavity facing away - feels awkward) or use your left hand. I can't believe they missed this in the design stage. A symmetrical design would have been better.

A triumph for left handers, though.

I've been using this about a week now and it's so good! the latex part is great for scraped bowls, and the flatter side is perfect for scooping items up of the baking tray. Easy to clean, and it looks good too.

I saw these, bought two, (one for home and one for the motorhome) and have not been disappointed; it does what it says and so far seems to be hard wearing. Especially good for campers as it saves the need for several different utensils. Would definitely recommend

As with all Joseph Joseph products, this is a good product. It's a little small for flipping burgers and pancakes, but it does ok, and the multi-use function is pretty neat. We bought it for a friend's house-warming gift, and he's thrilled, if only to brag about all the things it can do.

I bought this for my wife and she loves it - it's the main spoon she uses for almost everything now. 5 stars.

Although I do not have this colour version, this is exactly the same model as the one that I do have and so have included my review for it here as well.

I purchased this mainly as a multi-purpose tool to use whilst cooking, not as a replacement for my main kitchen utensils. As pointed out by other reviewers the slotted spoon is quite small so would not be suitable for large quantities but is perfect if you need to pick up a few pieces of food. Along with its other uses as cutter, spatula, spoon and turner I find this perfect when I'm cooking rather than trying to swap between five seperate utensils which then take up work surface space. Use the slotted spoon if checking whether pasta or vegetables are cooked, the cutter if you need to cut up onion or meat whilst frying off, the turner if browning meat or vegetables, the spatula to stir soups or stews and the spoon to taste. Made of strong nylon plastic, it's tough wearing and won't scratch your non stick pans. The look is contemporary although I prefer the colour scheme of the Joseph Joseph Uni-tool 5-in1 Kitchen Utensil (Red), which is inexplicably less expensive as well!! Even with these caveats I would throughly recommend this product and at this price it's a no brainer whether to buy it.

This tool is perfect for the kitchen. Ideal for pasta or rice, or vegetables, where you need to judge the cooking time based on how firm what you're cooking is. Tip the spoon back and drain the water away and stop burning your mouth. Keep it tipped forward and taste your sauce. Turn it upside down and prevent something from burning. So many uses...

Granted, this item does not have a weighted handle, but because I use this for tasting only anyway, it's just like a spoon, only better.
