Yes it is easy to keep the silicone wrap handle clean and looking new. Watch your level of heat applied when cooking because the food will stick if the pieces are too hot.

I wash with warm water and dish soap by hand. I like to flip the handle up when it dries so that water doesn't collect around the wire and form rust.

Packaging says no, but I put in top of DW. Thin plastic coating on handle has pulled off, but hard plastic handle underneath is fine. If you are particular about "looks" you may not like this, but I just pulled all the thin plastic coating off the handle & I think its fine :)

I bought this for my daughter and checking with her, she still loves it and has had no issues with the silicone handles.

I have used Bar Keeper's Friend, Bon Ami, or any non abrasive cleaner. I've had my pans for 40 years and they still look brand new! Another tip: never, never put them in the dishwasher!

The one I have has a rubber wrapped plastic handle. It is plenty comfortable.

Leather is stretched tight to wrap around the handle. You should treat it with a leather conditioner (see Amazon review from JD) and it will slowly soften up and feel more natural. Once it does you will have the grip you're probably looking for.

Super easy. It is just the two stainless parts and the silicon nipple. I throw them all in the dishwasher (and have been for 18 months) and they come out clean!

Good question. I've always just replaced the entire thing. It will pull off with a little effort but I'm not sure how to sanitize it. I'd like to know the answer to that question.

I haven't noticed it getting dirty easily. Its all wipeable. Just use cleanser sparingly as I'm not sure how much wetness it could take

Alan, thanks so much for sharing this. I have some 'silicone spatulas' with wood handles that were ofcourse never 'adheared' to the head, I have to take care not to get the 'connection' contaminated with what ever it is I am using it for. If you run across a solid sil spat, pls let me know. I'll do the same.

the handles stay cool, if you can see the picture of the handle where it goes from silver to black---the black part is rubber or silicone so it can be handled. hope this helps.

No. Mine looked as good as new after half a year of use. Anyway you can always wash it with soap.

I haven't needed to clean it yet. I have the black case which seems to be made of vinyl or some non-leather material.

Doesn't hurt it to clean with whatever cleaner of your choice and a soft brissled brush, just make sure you don't get water in the handle (battery compartment) and make sure you dry it thoroughly.

I wash mine with a little dawn dish soap in very hot water, rinse very well, and air dry. I know it is clean, but yes there is always a slight film because it is silicon, just the nature of silicon.

No easily I have found it to hold its color well and clean up is very easy. I imagine you may have that problem if you let it soak for along time or put it away damp but I have mine for about 6 months and I love it. I have recommended this to friends of mine and would recommend it to anyone.
