I bought silicone for health, to keep microplastics and chemicals out of my food. Imagine my surprise to find the silicone coating of these utensils REEKS of a specific smell of SPRAYPAINT. A sharp, heavy chemical smell like a can of Rust-O-Leum. I googled what to do and read that soaking in vinegar would solve it. After about 3 hours, nope.
This set is beautiful, but if buying for health, beware the STRONG chemical odor (you can smell from the countertop, 2 feet away - even AFTER my soaking attempt) and who-knows-what coming in contact with your food.
