Product Insights
These colourful reusable chopsticks from Simons Maison are made of BPA-free food-safe plastic that withstands hot and acidic foods, and their softer material avoids scratching non-stick cookware. At 25 cm, they exceed the ergonomic optimum by 10 mm for extra leverage, suiting deep ramen bowls and hot pot, with textured tips for improved grip. While sharing the same food-grade plastic as a more affordable set, the higher price (CAD 18 for 4 pairs, CAD 4.50/pair) is justified by curated colours and a satin finish. Backed by Simons' 1840-founded Canadian chain with 17 stores and a 30-day return policy, they require hand-washing or top-rack dishwasher use with low heat to prevent warping.
- Food safety
BPA-free food-safe plastic is tested safe for hot and acidic foods
Why this is supported
The food-grade plastic used has been tested and approved for direct food contact, as defined by industry standards:
"Food-grade" (or "food-safe") means a material has been tested and approved as safe to come into direct contact with food.
airlockkitchenware.comFurthermore, the material is specifically tested to not leach or react with acidic and salty foods, making it safe for common condiments.
won't leach harmful chemicals or react with acidic and salty foods
What food-grade and BPA-free actually mean for hot food use — food_grade_designationThe plastic is labeled BPA-free food-safe plastic. Research confirms that food-grade certification means it won't leach harmful chemicals:
"Food-grade" (or "food-safe") means a material has been tested and approved as safe to come into direct contact with food. It won't leach harmful chemicals into what you eat or drink, won't react with food, and meets recognised safety standards for the job.
airlockkitchenware.com- Non-stick safety
Plastic chopsticks are softer than metal and unlikely to scratch non-stick cookware.
Why this is supported
Although the manufacturer has not specifically confirmed non-stick safety, food-grade plastic is generally softer than metal, so it is unlikely to scratch non-stick surfaces:
- Value
Same food-grade plastic as the $11.95 Zen Cuisine set; extra cost is for design.
Why this is supported
Research shows the BPA-free food-grade plastic construction is identical to that of the cheaper Zen Cuisine 4-pair set, as both descriptions list:
The premium for this Simons Maison set is therefore for design and branding, not superior material safety.
- Length
25 cm length suits deep bowls and adult hands.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov- Ergonomics
At 25 cm, these chopsticks sit just 10 mm above the adult ergonomic optimum, offering extra leverage without feeling oversized.
Why this is supported
A peer-reviewed study determined that chopsticks around 240 mm are optimal for adults, and
The results showed that the food-pinching performance was significantly affected by the length of the chopsticks, and that chopsticks of about 240 and 180 mm long were optimal for adults and pupils, respectively.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govAt 250 mm, these chopsticks fall just 10 mm above that optimum, and at 9.75 inches they also exceed the typical 9–9.5 inch dining length, providing a subtle extra lever that feels less cramped for adult hands without becoming oversized cooking sticks.
- Bowl reach
Designed for deep ramen bowls and traditional Chinese hot pot, with extra reach and heat safety.
Why this is supported
Restaurant supply guidelines designate 24 cm as the ideal length for ramen and pho to keep hands away from hot liquid; at 25 cm, this set goes further with a larger safety margin.
