Just changed my mind about silicone vs nylon cooking utensils after seeing a test online

Ive always been a nylon guy for camping cookware cause its cheap and doesnt scratch. But I saw this video where a guy tested both by leaving them in boiling water for 10 minutes. The nylon actually started melting a bit around the edges and the silicone was totally fine. That got me thinking about all the times Ive left a spatula sitting in my pot while dinner cooks. I found the test on the Outdoor Gear Lab site last night. Has anyone else noticed their nylon tools getting warped after a few trips?

Yeah I had a nylon spatula get all wavy after one too many times sitting in a hot pot. Switched to silicone and havent had that problem since.

Man I feel that. My nylon spatula looked like a roller coaster after one spaghetti night. I'm pretty sure it's still hiding in the back of a drawer somewhere, dreaming of retirement.
