Folding Colander

Q: Are the products really heat-resistant and durable?

Yes, our silicone kitchen helpers can withstand high temperatures of up to 260 °C without any problems . This means you can, for example, leave a cooking spoon in a hot pot or use our Kochblume boil-over aid on the bubbling cooking pot without the material deforming or melting. You can also use the silicone helpers as a splatter guard in the pan or when baking in the oven. The only important thing is that you avoid open flames – silicone should not be held directly over a gas flame, as very high temperatures can occur at certain points (the 260 °C could be exceeded). In normal use (cooking, frying, oven), however, the material remains stable. Our products are durable: silicone is UV-resistant and hardly ages . It also doesn’t break down like plastic, but remains functional for years. An advantage for the environment: during later disposal (incineration/recycling), no toxic residues are produced – silicone breaks down into quartz sand, a natural substance. This makes the products a good choice from a sustainability perspective too.

Q: Are the Kochblume kitchen utensils (spoons, spatulas, etc.) dishwasher-safe?

Yes, all our silicone kitchen utensils are dishwasher-safe . You can put them in the dishwasher without hesitation. The colours are retained, the material takes no harm. Only at very high washing temperatures (intensive programme above 70 °C) can the colour intensity diminish minimally over time – but this is barely noticeable. If you wash by hand, use normal washing-up liquid and soft sponges or cloths. Thanks to the non-stick property of silicone, food residues come off easily One advantage: silicone utensils do not scratch your cookware . So you can stir in coated pans with peace of mind too. Thanks to the internal stainless steel core, our spatulas & co. are nevertheless dimensionally stable and do not bend.

Clever ideas for your kitchen

Kochblume’s gadgets are deliberately developed to fulfil more than just one function. Thoughtful design meets practical versatility here, so that one product often replaces several kitchen helpers.

Small helpers, big difference

In everyday life, it’s often the small things that make the biggest difference. That’s exactly what the Kochblume gadgets are made for. They don’t stand out much, but they noticeably make many tasks in the kitchen easier.

When a product takes on several tasks and simply works, a lot becomes more straightforward. You have to think less, search less and have more order in your workflows.

This creates little helpers that quickly feel natural and make everyday kitchen life more relaxed overall.

Effortlessly clean in no time

Cleaning depends on the particular gadget and is deliberately kept simple. Many products are dishwasher-safe and can be cleaned there directly after use.

Other versions are better cleaned by hand under warm water, especially if they are very delicately built or made of several materials.

In both cases, cleaning stays uncomplicated, the material hygienic and the products quickly ready to use again.

What is Kochblume?

Kochblume is a brand for high-quality kitchen helpers made of premium silicone and other durable materials. Our products are functional, durable, easy to care for and thoughtfully designed to make cooking and baking easier and more pleasant.

Are the products really heat-resistant and durable?

Yes, our silicone kitchen helpers can withstand high temperatures of up to 260 °C without any problems. This means you can, for example, leave a cooking spoon in a hot pot or use our Kochblume boil-over aid on the bubbling cooking pot without the material deforming or melting.

You can also use the silicone helpers as a splatter guard in the pan or when baking in the oven. The only important thing is that you avoid open flames – silicone should not be held directly over a gas flame, as very high temperatures can occur at certain points (the 260 °C could be exceeded).

Our products are durable: silicone is UV-resistant and hardly ages. It also doesn’t break down like plastic, but remains functional for years. An advantage for the environment: during later disposal (incineration/recycling), no toxic residues are produced – silicone breaks down into quartz sand, a natural substance. This makes the products a good choice from a sustainability perspective too.

What are Kochblume kitchen helpers made of?

Our kitchen helpers are made predominantly of 100% premium silicone, often combined with an inner core of stainless steel for stability (e.g. for spoons and spatulas). The silicone used is food-safe, BPA-free and contains no plasticisers. It has the advantage that no harmful substances are released into food. It is also heat-resistant (up to approx. 260 °C) and remains dimensionally stable even at high temperatures. Besides silicone, some products use additional materials – e.g. our spice grinders have a ceramic grinding mechanism and parts made of ABS plastic, and our microfibre cloths are made of high-quality polyester-polyamide fibre. All materials are carefully selected and meet high quality standards.

Why should you banish plastic from your kitchen right now?

Because you take a risk with it every day.

Many plastic kitchen helpers become unstable when heated,
warp or release unwanted substances into your food.
Especially when you’re cooking for yourself or your family.

The safe alternative: high-quality silicone

100% BPA- & pollutant-free
heat-resistant up to 260 °C
stays stable – even under high stress
releases no substances into your food

👉 The choice is yours: keep cooking with risk – or make the right decision once and for all.

Conclusion:
Silicone is not an “upgrade”.
It is the safe foundation for your kitchen.

Are you destroying your pans with metal kitchen helpers?

Because you’re slowly destroying your pans with them.

Metal and stainless steel kitchen helpers leave fine scratches in the coating with every use – often invisible, but permanently harmful.

The consequence:

food sticks more quickly
the non-stick effect wears off
your pan has to be replaced sooner

👉 And that costs you money unnecessarily.

The better solution: Silicone!

Gentle on the surface, strong in use.
What this means for you:

no scratches in coated pans
longer life for your pans
better cooking results

Conclusion:

👉 If you want to protect your pans,
silicone is the clear choice.
