Concerned cook here! I've got a question about silicone spatulas. Can they handle the heat of frying without melting or releasing harmful chemicals? I'm a bit worried about safety and want to make sure I'm using the right tools for the job. Any insights and experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

While silicone spatulas are generally heat-resistant and can withstand temperatures up to a certain point, it's essential to use caution when using them for frying. Most silicone spatulas are heat-resistant up to around 600°F (315°C), which should be sufficient for typical frying temperatures.

Appreciate your input! Silicone spatulas are definitely my go-to for frying now, so much gentler on my pans than metal ones
