Amazon.com Review:
In today's rapidly changing world, using renewable resources makes sense, even in the kitchen. Joyce Chen's burnished bamboo utensils are not only earth-friendly, but beautiful and practical. Bamboo, a grass, grows quickly to harvestable size and is considered an environmentally-sound replacement for slow-growing trees. Stronger than wood, the tools in this set won't scratch nonstick surfaces and are so tough they won't swell, split, or absorb moisture like wood can. Moreover, these are dishwasher-safe. The burnished honey color comes not from a stain but from oven-roasting, which caramelizes the bamboo's naturally occurring sugars.
Designed with Asian cooking in mind, but appropriate for other types of cuisine as well, this five-piece bamboo tool set includes a 12-inch mixing spoon, 12-inch slotted spatula, 11-inch tongs, and 13-inch stir-fry spatula, complete with a bamboo canister. All the tools are safe to use on any nonstick surface. Joyce Chen produces an impressive range of burnished bamboo kitchen tools and cutting boards, along with traditional woks and Asian-style cutlery for the dedicated home chef. --Ann Bieri

Great product
Beats the standard wooden variety of cooling utensils by a mile! Great product, doesn't seem to stain, shape is fantastic, and holder is very attractive sitting by the range top.
The holder split after 6 months
I purchased this set in August, 2009 and absolutely loved it. It looked great on my kitchen counter until this morning (six months from purchase date) when I walked to the kitchen in the morning and found the holder split opened from the bottom all the way up to the top. The utensils have held up well, though; therefore, I give this product some credit, but I am disappointed that the holder didn't last for too long.
Nice addition to the kitchen
I bought the set for a friend and she really like it and stated that is was a nice addition to her kitchen.
bamboo splits
This is a handsome set that feels good in the hand and is nice to use. However, the bamboo holder split open all the way down one side and across the bottom. It's only held together by the black straps. Disappointing.
Good, but the spatula splintered.
I've had this set for a while, and it's good overall, but the spatula is splintering at the sides. Everything else is still like new, though, so maybe I just got a bad spatula.
The tongs do take some getting used to, and should only be used for thinner/lighter foods. Thin chicken breasts, quesadillas, you get the idea. I get a lot of use out of the tongs in my kitchen, since those are usually the kinds of foods I'm cooking.
The spoon is good, but I'm disappointed with how shallow it is. It's not so much a bamboo spoon, as a bamboo stick with a slight indentation at the end. It is my longest spoon, so I need it to stir food as it cooks, but I always have to use one of the shorter spoons when it's time to serve, which gets pretty inconvenient for someone whose only dishwasher is my hand with a sponge in it.
All minor gripes aside, I do like this set, and I do use it every day.
These kitchen tools won’t scratch and so they are safe to use on any nonstick surface. Likewise, they are so tough they won’t split, swell, or absorb moisture like wood can. The elegant burnished honey color comes not from a stain but from oven-roasting process.
This five-piece bamboo utensil set includes a 12-inch mixing spoon, 11-inch tongs, 12-inch slotted spatula, and 13-inch stir-fry spatula including a bamboo container. These utensils are great with all types of cookware, whether nonstick or traditional. And the burnished bamboo surface is very tough. It doesn’t mind high heat and it is dishwasher safe.

The bamboo container is just great. It’s small enough to be placed anywhere in the kitchen. You can have them on set by the stove and another on your preparation table.
The Joyce Chen Burnished Bamboo Utensil Set will fit on your kitchen counter nicely. A great buy. A lovely gift.
