i have many utensils from this line, and just like the rest, this piece work beautifully. my only advise is don't wait for food to get stuck before washing, instead giving it a rinse as soon as your done with it, as food tends to stick really well to it, requiring a soak later. there is also a real nice looking stainless bucket for these to set on your counter top for around $20, and the bottom(oxo plastic) comes off for easy cleaning. i love my set!
