I was halfway afraid these might melt as I used them with my electric takoyaki maker, but they held up well. No scratches to the nonstick surface either. Would recommend. Might be nice to have a fork version of these, to help with turning. A single point is good for running along the edge to loosen stuck pieces, but takoyaki is never easy to flip. That being said, these do as well as any other pick that I have ever used for the job.
