I use mine every day.

I have owned many kitchen tools over the years. Some of the expensive items were gifted to me, some I saved up, but frankly, a lot of them are things I found at his ALDI. This week, the store's colorful silicone tableware is back in stock.
What we love about ALDI's colorful Crofton kitchen tools
Crofton Beechwood and Silicone Utensils are back in stock for just $2.99 each. The top is made of silicone, the handle is beech wood, and it comes in his three colors: light blue, white, and peach. Available equipment includes whisks, slotted spoons, flat spatulas (called turners, according to the website), spoons, and basting and pastry brushes.
I love the silicone pastry brush I bought at ALDI, but the whisk and spoon work just fine. You may have to pick up a flat spatula to complete the set. Not only is it very stylish, but it's also convenient.
At just $16 for a set of four, it's about as good a deal as you'll get for kitchen tools from Crate & Barrel, except that if you go to Crate & Barrel with your $16, you'll only be able to buy one tool, since it will cost you $12.95 each.

How to use ALDI's Crofton kitchen tools
I use a silicone brush to brown the meat, brush olive oil over the vegetables, and spread icing on the cinnamon rolls. If I need to butter something, that's my tool of choice. It's so much better than using a spoon or a bristle pastry brush, and it's one of the most underrated tools in my kitchen drawer.
My whisk is a tool I use every day, whether it's whisking an omelet, making a cake, preparing salad dressing, or making gravy.
I also often use a spoon. A slotted spoon is perfect for picking up poached eggs. It's also cute enough to use as a serving spoon for brunch with fruit salad.
A regular spoon works great for stirring sauces, scooping dough from bowls, and feeding my son cookie dough before adding eggs (he prefers raw cookie dough to baked cookies). I prefer it).
I store my kitchen tools in drawers, but these are good enough to store on the counter and it improves the overall look of the kitchen.
