They are very good for fritattas
I made a pea meal bacon, mushroom,
potato, and chees fritatta for Sunday brunch. Very good!

I have limited knowledge of using silicon utensils and bakeware it the
kitchen. I'm new to both. Of what I've used so far, I've been quite
pleased. I have bakeware (muffin tin, cookie sheet) and utensils
(barbeque brush, deep ladle, spatulas, oven gloves). As far as
temperatures, my bakeware is good to 500 F for the muffin tin and 425 F
for the cookie sheet. I can't recall a rating on the utensils. I've
had no problems as far as heat. I have small hands and find the oven
glove too big but the little finger/thumb mit is too small to prevent
burns to the top of my hand if I'm careless. That is the only negatives
so far.
