    My current one has definitely held up better than the first one, so I’ll give them that. And it was still functional, but the stirring paddle had snapped, so I figured I’d get another and put the old one in the camper.

      You snapped the stirring paddle??

      While that surprises me, I can’t speak to the durability of that part; I threw it away and use a regular spoon.

        I was just tapping it on the side of the sink after rinsing it off and it came apart at the T joint. I thought about just using a spoon but figured the metal would scratch it up over time.

          Interesting. I suppose that your workflow might have weakened the plastic? Immersing it in hot water, then cooling it under the tap, then striking it against a hard surface for years… maybe that weakened the joint over time?

          Anyway, I’m not at home to check how scratched it is from my spoon use, but I don’t really care if it is. It was a $30 tool, and if anything, the scratch marks an indicator of how much I use it.
