 Perfect starter set for Stir-Fry! Mar 08, 2010
I have wooden spoons, but bought this bamboo set when I purchased a new electric wok. They are just perfect for stir-fry, and won't scratch the non-stick surface of my wok. I really like the size and shape of the rice paddle, and I thought that would be one piece I wouldn't use. It is just right for serving rice. Best of all, they are dishwasher safe, which is not the case with most wooden spoons. So far so good!
A Must-Have! Jan 12, 2010
I love this stir-fry set, though I have to say... I've NEVER used it for stir-frying! I've used it for just about everything else in the kitchen, though. Even the shorter rice paddle has come in handy for all sorts of things (it's fairly flat, so you can even use it like a spatula). Also... It's sooo cheap! I feel like I should order a few more sets, just in case. I've already gotten it for friends and family to throw into a Christmas stocking or to wrap up with a cookbook or pan. The best part: they are dishwasher safe! I've washed mine over and over and have never had a crack. Awesome product.
LOVE BAMBOO Dec 10, 2009
THIS IS MY SECOND SET OF JOYCE CHEN BAMBOO UTENSILS, AND I LOVE THEM. THEY HAVE A WONDERFUL, DURABLE FINISH, AND WASH VERY WELL IN THE DISHWASHER. THEY'RE STURDY AND NICELY MADE. I REACH FOR THEM OVER WOODEN UTENSILS EVERY TIME.

 Highly misleading Dec 01, 2009
I purchased these utensils because of the fair price -- and fair it was! Nothing to complain about there. But I was anticipating the stir fry utensils designed in 1925 by the legendary James Joyce himself, since adopted in his homeland of China. (In Beijing there are numerous dumpling houses named for Mr. Joyce, including the aptly titled Joyce's House of Dumplings, which Mr. Joyce was said to have visited upon the initial Chinese publication of Finnegans Wake in 1983.)
Rice paddle: In Mr. Joyce's grand design there are seven prongs to ensure maximum paddling ability. In this awful version there are no prongs to be seen anywhere, and the paddling experience leaves much to be desired (such as prongs). Alternative uses include fly-swatting, Orangutan-hitting and slapping linoleum countertops to the rhythm of the Billy Joel classic, We Didn't Start the Fire.
Mixing spoon: Completely unrecognizable from the expected Joyce-designed version. Mixing spoon lacks all spoonlike qualities, including an ample curvature for scooping. This here is the worst of the set, and is in fact nothing more than a flat stick on which "Joyce Chen" is written. Dreadful. Alternative uses: Primitive ruler ('I am this many mixing spoons tall'), or if you own a dog, fetch.
Stir-fry spatula: The sole redeeming quality of the entire set is the single spacious slot built into the spatula which allows steam to escape when stir-frying delicious vegetables and meats. Alternative uses: Ineffective oar for a small boat.
Stir Fry Utensils Nov 07, 2009
This Joyce Chen, 3 piece burnished Bamboo Stir-Fry Set is absolutely WONDERFUL!! You can was in the diswasher, does NOT bother the finish. Tools are ergonomically made to correctly lift and stir your ingredients in so easily!! They are perfect in size...not too long and not short. The price is super low...and you will actually enjoy woking with these fine tools!
