"If you can't stand the heat, why are you in the kitchen?"
I bought these in a shop and so didn't see the website description - "withstands heat up to 204°C". This isn't a high enough temperature for anything that has been on a hob or under a grill, or in a hot oven probably. When subjected to such heat, there's an unpleasant smell, and the black synthetic material melts and starts to degrade. Cuisinart should withdraw them from the market.
