I used this during my twins' baby food stage. It conducts heat well, and they were able to put it in their mouths without resistance. It was also easy to feed them, and they became good at using their upper lips. Unlike plastic, it's convenient that you can chop the baby food directly with the spoon. I put it in the dishwasher, so there are some fine scratches, although they're not very noticeable. I no longer need it, so I'm putting it up for sale. Thank you.
