After cooking, a lot of the foods get stuck to the pots and pans leaving you having to let it soak and sit however they do have these heat resistant Spatula to make it easy for you to clean the stuck foods from them. It also does not scratch up your nonstick pots and pans because it is silicone. To me it is worth it because we make a lot of casseroles and bakes that end up sticking because of cheese and pasta and it sometimes becomes a hassle at getting it off. I highly recommend getting this because you don't have to wait on it to soak and sometimes even when you soak it, it may not come off but with this kitchen gadget it will.
