What a great idea. Stands up on its own. Good for cooling your food down before tasting it while cooking without it spilling all over your kitchen-top and looks cool too.

There is a cheaper seller listed here ($1.54 aud)- http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2016-New-Spoons-Nessie-Soup-L…

          Some people have non stop problems with day to day tasks, to suggest they are useless because YOU are unable to open an account is beyond absurd. Not to mention you already have an account that you forgot about.

      • GateauBoeuf on 27/06/2016 - 18:18

        If scooping the last bits you're putting the ladle at an angle - it shouldn't interfere if you take a good look at the pics.

          It has nothing to do with the number but the type of people you give it to and how they store/use it.

          PayPal and Ebay have been compromised many times.

          @Maverick-au:
          thousands of online transactions? Sounds like you hand it out a lot more than I do!!

          Of course the number of people you hand it out increases the risk. Sure you could be unlucky and hand it to 1 person and be comprised and lucky and hand it out to 1000 and no issues, but the more you hand it out the more chances you have of getting comprised. Thats just common sense. Yes the type of people you hand it to also plays a large factor.

          We were talking about the difference using Paypal to buy things from Ebay to using your credit card and buying things from AliExpress

          Yes Aliexpress has a Paypal thing called AliPay. Still this is Chinese owned, Chinese based and operates only out of China. Good luck if you have an issue with them, I would rather just keep dealing with PayPal.
          Oh and my wife is Chinese so its nothing to do with Racism, she also doesn't trust AliPay..

          Who knows if the kitchen utensils you purchase in Australia have lead in them? No-one tests them, they all rely on statements from the suppliers and no government bodies do any proactive testing.

          You seem to be under the impression that purchasing goods locally means they are safe, this isn't true.

          @Maverick-au:

          Easy, make sure any utensil purchased is not made in China. I only buy German made or French made and research manufacturer they will list all the toxic chemicals that they made sure are not included in manufacture.

          What you say is true.

          I'm not a fan of the middle-man, but they have a lot to lose if found to be selling toxic stuff, so they put in some token effort to minimise their risk. I reckon purchasing direct from aliexpress increases the chance of being unsafe, I buy other stuff from there but direct food contact, no thanks.

          Lets be honest, we all have a kitchen drawer full of Chinese made plastic utensils of which we know nothing about their chemistry, and for the purposes of serving, I'm sure it makes no difference. If you want to "cook" your utensil with your food, you should probably use wood.

        • hahaboy on 27/06/2016 - 12:30
          +1

          yes there are enough things in life to injure/kill us, without worrying about potentially dodgy plastic…especially when there isn't even proof there is anything wrong with it.

          Why eat most things in the supermarket? Most products are covered in plastics too. Do you check each one and "trust what they say"?

          Why do anything in life? Walking down the street, you might be hit by a bus. Probably safer to stay at home all day.

          Probably an exaggeration, but i think my point on being over-coddled still stands.

        • tikei on 27/06/2016 - 13:44

          @hahaboy:
          Not over coddled. I should've kept my somewhat melted ladle and taken a photo for you. Family is Chinese and we make soup a lot. There's a lot of dipping the ladle in to stir while it's boiling.
          Buying from supermarket because they have procurement teams doing more extensive sourcing checks than a random small discount store in the mall.
          And I avoid microwaving plastic for your information. If it's covered in plastic, no problem. Just not heating and melting it in a microwave.
          Lastly, while I love buying cheap Chinese goods, I avoid buying made in China processed food (and I'm Chinese), also kitchen utensils that may be dipped in boiling water or on a heated frypan.

          Anyway, my reply was asking if you believe what the listing says about it using safe plastic. I was focusing more on the business practice side of things and hoping people won't believe all they read on a eBay or aliexpress listing from China and making a purchase based on it.

        • tikei on 27/06/2016 - 13:48

          @ash2000:
          Knives and fork OK. But when it comes to dipping in boiling soup or stirring on a heated frypan, need to be a bit more careful. We do use wood for the spatula on frypan.

      • blitzzbargain on 27/06/2016 - 00:23

        • gooddealmate on 27/06/2016 - 00:35

          Who am I to say, but if you can't trust a company that is as big as or if not bigger than ebay, then who can you trust..?

          At least if they are hacked, there are probably several hundred million other sets of card details they can choose from first.

          @gooddealmate:

          According to AliPay, they have 400 million users. I've had my details saved with team for a couple of years…..no issues.

          The good thing about aliexpress and AliPay is that (once you're loged-in) the product prices are displayed in AUD and that is the price you'll actually be billed on your card. Now compare this to eBay/PayPal, where when browsing foreign currencies you're given an lower price in eBay to what you actually pay in PayPal, albeit only a few percent, but it adds up.

        Problem is, not everything is as closely priced as this to Ebay. It's worth having an account with them if you're ordering regularly, you'll save a fair bit by the end of the year.

    Regarding the questions of food safety, you really can't win with any plastic.

    The brand-name, "food-safe" nylon versions probably leach 4,4'-Diaminodiphenylmethane (http://agris.fao.org/agris-search/search.do?recordID=KR20100…), which is a known carcinogen in rats but with unknown effects in humans.

    And these AliExpress cheapies are made of polypropylene (PP), which is another "food-safe", high melting point plastic that was found to have some hormone-disrupting effects (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3222987/).

    Even when new plastic types are deemed safe upon testing, there's no guarantee that the colouring, anti-bacterial or processing additives won't have negative physiological effects. And that goes for non-plastics too.

    And to make sure you stay scared, even good ol' ceramic can be contaminated with lead (http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/04/several-months-ago-ger…).

    Non-stick is considered potentially unsafe at very high temperatures. Aluminium is a no-no. Copper is a no-no.

    Stainless steel is mostly considered safe. Except when you scratch it and potentially leach nickel into your food.

    Cast-iron is considered safe for now (since at least any lead should be boiled away well before iron melts) unless you have excess iron in your system already or haemochromatosis. Stirring acidic foods in an iron skillet can dramatically increase the iron content of food (http://whatscookingamerica.net/Information/IronCastIron.htm).
