Umite Chef Silicone Cooking Utensil Set
The full package
Umite Chef’s 15-piece utensil set allows you to bake your cake and eat it too. The many utensils included have stainless steel handles for durability and heat resistance, and the high-quality silicone is free of BPA and lead. On top of that, you can throw them all in the dishwasher at the end of your bakeoff. We would add the included holding cup to the list, but that’s just the cherry on top. This Umite Chef set is the full package.
Pros:
- Resistant to common types of damage, like rust and deformation
- Ergonomic handle design to promote ease of use
- Great for withstanding heat
Cons:
- Brand logo appears on both sides of the holding cup, which isn’t ideal if you’re looking for unmarked kitchen items
Eagmak Silicone Cooking Utensil Set
Good standing
This is a sturdy set of utensils with stainless steel handles for anti-bend and heat resistance, but we think the real star of the show is this set’s two storage options. The included stand hangs tools upside down and rotates for your convenience. There is also an included bar with hooks for additional hanging if you prefer a more stationary configuration. No longer will you have to interrupt your rhythm to root around a drawer for the right utensil while you’re on a roll. After all, cooking is all about timing.
Pros:
- Available in multiple colors
- Anti-scald design that’s kind to your hands
- Dishwasher-safe
Cons:
- Possibly not ideal for those looking to save surface space

Groceries are expensive enough, so why not score a good deal on your high-quality cooking utensils? We think Jamoon has the best option in that regard with their affordably priced 14-piece set. Most of the pieces are made of BPA-free silicone, although some have a more traditional silicone and stainless-steel hybrid where necessary — namely on the tongs and the whisk. With this Jamoon set, you’ll be saving in style, as evinced by the good-looking storage container designed to hold the tools.
Pros:
- Easy to clean
- Easy to clean, as most the utensils easier to clean, have no gaps or crevices for food to get stuck in
- Great starter set for a value
Cons:
- Storage container is quite crowded when all the utensils are in it

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I’m getting all the cooking utensils I need?
Most utensil sets include 12-15 tools that cover more than the essentials required by most chefs. Individual tools for specialty dishes can be sought out separately, but these sets offer everything you need at a great value — especially for beginners.
Why is dishwashing these utensils discouraged by some manufacturers?
Although many sets are dishwasher-safe, it is advisable to hand-wash your larger cooking utensils to prolong their life and keep them in top condition. Marinating these tools in high-power soap and water for long periods of time is not a recipe for longevity.
