i got this spoon for free during a promotion and initially i thought it was ridiculous to have a spoon with a hole in the center. but later on it became my favorite spoon to use while cooking. unfortunately after about a year or so, the silicone on the spoon part tore away from the metal a little. i previously thought i only loved it because i did not have to pay for it, but now i miss having it and i will probably purchase another.
I kept trying to get soup into the bowl with it, but the soup just ran right out through the hole. I strongly prefer the "holeless version."
It's one of my favorite spoons for stirring because the hole minimizes the degree to which stirred material is prone to splashing out of bowl or pot. However if used to free stuff sticking to the bottom of a pot (particularly a rough cast iron pot like Lodge) the metal core of the spoon will cut through the silicone covering.
It still looks as good as the day I received it and I believe this will last for a very, very long time. It is lightweight, the silicone surrounds a thin metal base which gives it strength. I bought this KaiserFlex Silicone Blending Spoon more than one year ago when it was on sale at Amazon and I wish I'd bought a dozen. I have it in my Amazon cart so I can watch the price, hoping it will be reduced again so I can buy a bunch as gifts. It fits perfectly in a small hand, is a substantial length so it works well even in a larger pot, and more importantly, works for so much more than blending. I use it in preparing my biga for bread, stirring anything in a pot, shirring eggs, rubbing the handle between my palms for a little whipping, turning over my Boca burgers, blending chocolate into nuts for candy, and on and on and on. I love the shape of this spoon, the pointed end allows me to use it in places other spoons and spatulas can't go. It's perfect for scooping out the last bits from those jars of mayo, mustard, sauces and whatever.
Really good when you need to use it with some hot things, it really resist high temperatures.
