Summary
A 12.95-inch silicone slotted spoon with a soft non-slip handle, made for stirring and draining without scratching non-stick pans. Check the heat rating before you buy: OXO calls the head “high heat-resistant” but does not publish a maximum temperature for this model.
Strengths
- The silicone head is safe for non-stick cookware and goes in the dishwasher.
- Soft non-slip Good Grips handle is the part owners describe as comfortable.
- Closely spaced holes drain small ingredients while you stir.
- Covered by OXO’s lifetime Better Guarantee, with a no-receipt replacement process owners report.
- Reddit owners rate OXO utensils as comfortable, durable and good value.
- One r/AllClad owner prefers an OXO slotted spoon to an All-Clad spoon.
Weaknesses
- No maximum heat temperature is published for this exact spoon.
- No independent instrumented test of this model was found.
- The handle core material is not stated on the product page.
- The guarantee replaces the spoon; there are no user-serviceable parts.
- A r/BuyItForLife thread questions how long OXO spatulas and turners last, though that is category-level and not this spoon.

Full research notes and sources
Heat resistance and what OXO does not publish
OXO sells the spoon as “high heat-resistant silicone” and stops there; the US product page carries no maximum temperature for this model. The 600°F figure buyers often quote comes from a different OXO silicone utensil, the Silicone Spoon Spatula, and it is not confirmed for the slotted spoon’s silicone. A r/Cooking thread on OXO turners makes the same point: the brand does not publish a specific maximum.
Cleaning, the guarantee and upkeep
The spoon is dishwasher safe and needs no other care. The OXO Better Guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser’s lifetime, and the slotted spoon falls under it rather than the separate cookware warranty. An owner in r/BuyItForLife described a replacement with no receipt needed, though that case involved a different OXO product. If the silicone head or handle fails, OXO replaces the unit rather than repairing it.
Is it worth it?
At $13.99 direct from OXO (2026) the spoon is a reasonable buy for a non-stick-safe, dishwasher-safe strainer from a brand with a lifetime guarantee, especially given the simple construction. East Bay Restaurant Supply listed it at $11.99, though it was sold out at the time of check, and ChefLinen listed it at $17.66, down from $22.07. Near the top of that range you are paying a premium over OXO’s own price for no extra function. The open risk is heat: with no published maximum for this model and no lab test, buyers who need verified high-temperature performance should ask OXO directly.
