FAQs about Stellar Utensils & Gadgets
Which are the most durable kitchen utensils for everyday cooking?
The most durable kitchen utensils for everyday cooking are made from stainless steel or reinforced nylon, and Stellar utensils tick both boxes. They use 18/10 stainless steel, which resists rust, warping and wear from daily use. For non-stick pans, tools made from heat-resistant nylon (up to 210°C) are kinder to coatings. Many Stellar utensils also come with a lifetime guarantee, which says a lot. Strong materials and solid construction mean you won't be replacing them anytime soon. See how we measure durability in our product research process.
How do I care for stainless steel kitchen utensils to keep them looking new?
To keep stainless steel kitchen utensils looking new, clean them promptly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Handwashing helps preserve the shine, though most are dishwasher-safe. Drying them straight away stops water spots forming. Skip anything too abrasive - like steel wool - as it’ll scuff the surface. A dab of bicarbonate of soda paste can sort any tarnish. Treat them kindly and they’ll stay looking sharp for years. For more tips, pop over to our care and repair hub.
What essential utensils do I need to set up a functional kitchen?
To set up a functional kitchen, you’ll want durable utensils that pull their weight every day. Your best bet includes a slotted turner, solid spoon, ladle, tongs, balloon whisk, and a good peeler. Add a garlic press and can opener to round things out. Look for stainless steel or heat-resistant nylon, built for daily graft and easy cleaning. A tidy set with comfy grips and hanging holes keeps things neat too. Browse our top kitchen essentials to get started.
How should I store kitchen utensils to keep them organised and accessible?
To keep kitchen utensils organised and accessible, stash the daily ones in a countertop holder and the rest in a drawer organiser. Wall hooks or hanging racks also work well for bulky tools. Grouping by use - cooking, baking, serving - makes life simpler. Choose storage that prevents damage and clears up clutter. That way, your solid, long-lasting tools stay in good nick and ready to go when you need them.
Can these kitchen gadgets go in the dishwasher safely?
Most Stellar kitchen gadgets are dishwasher-safe, which makes clean-up a doddle. That said, handwashing is gentler on finishes - especially for gadgets with moving parts or soft-grip handles. Always follow the care notes included with each tool. Keeping them out of the dishwasher now and then helps extend their working life and avoids any sneaky water getting into joints.
Are Stellar utensils made using ethical and sustainable materials?
Stellar utensils are made from responsibly sourced stainless steel and reinforced nylon, chosen for their durability. Long-lasting tools mean less waste, and many Stellar pieces come with a lifetime guarantee - encouraging fix over landfill. While not all parts are recyclable, 18/10 stainless steel can be widely reused. So while they won’t save the planet single-handedly, they’re a solid step in the right direction.
What’s the difference between utensils and kitchen equipment?
Utensils are the trusty hand tools you grab when cooking - spoons, peelers, whisks and the like. Kitchen equipment usually means the bigger or powered stuff, like stand mixers or slow cookers. Both have their place, but utensils are often the unsung heroes, doing the daily graft without complaint. For the long-haul essentials, head to our tools & utensils collection.
