Do you use silicone kitchen tools?
If so, which ones do you find most useful and what do you think about them?
How do they compare to other materials in your kitchen?

Yes.
My favorites are the smaller "cookie" spatulas; also good for egg, tortilla flipping

Jar-scraping spatulas:

Silicone Collapsible Strainer

Need to answer too
I don't have many silicone tools at all. I prefer not to spend too much and try to keep my kitchen tools to a minimum.

There are some nicer silicone tools that work well, though.

Yes.

That's great! As for me, I don't use silicone tools much. I dislike silicone spatulas for cooking; I've tried a few, but they all ended up in the bin. They aren't strong enough for cooking large amounts of food and make the work difficult or impossible. For flipping small items without much oil, I prefer to flip them without spatulas. The only silicone spatulas I use are for making sweets.

Jar-scraping spatulas:

Hmm, I've never used any of those. Are they good? Do they work well? Are they worth getting?

Silicone Collapsible Strainer

This are good ^
I have a few small silicone collapsible colanders that I really like. This are great

These are great; really scrape glass or plastic jars really clean! I find that I am using the larger ones very often. Not only jars, but also the big stand-mixer bowl. (cookie dough)

YES! Love how they work just fine with rinsing cold items......grapes, berries, etc. and boiling-hot noodles or boiled eggs; AND fit nicely in a drawer.

Okay, I'll look into that when I'm at the store. I'm planning to browse for a few frying pans soon, though I'll wait for a special deal.
The one I have has served its time and isn't working well anymore, so I'm also considering checking out different styles.

Anyway, this will be the perfect time to grab some of those spatulas!

Silicone spaltulas and spoons.
They're easier to clean and maintain than metal ones.
