At least upgrade to silicone. I’m baffled that cooking utensils even come in nylon. Options should only be metal, wood, silicone if intended to use near heat.

As far as I have seen, nylon is considered food safe and dishwasher friendly. weeklypellet.com/…/the-tricky-business-of-choosin…

The Weekly Pellet is a website for people in the plastics industry.
Here’s a site focused on people in the food industry:
www.chefsresource.com/is-nylon-food-safe/
Nylon is considered food safe while it is in good condition, but not if it has been damaged or used at temperatures higher than what it is rated for. If you cook at max on your stove top, you can exceed the safe temperature of Nylon very easily.

Nylon can be washed in the dishwasher, but in my experience it does degrade a bit over time. Silicone on the other hand tends to absorb any smell or taste, including dish washing detergent.
