Are these spoons just plastic or are they the high-temperature kind that can withstand heat from cooking regularly and not melt?

They are plastic and therefore will melt. You have to take precautions when using them in high heat. Having said that, they are the exact same material as the plastic spatulas you buy for your home for non-stick cookware at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Similar to Kitchen Aide and other commercial plastic spatulas these will work similarly, except they are designed to fold up and be stored. They are designed for non-stick cookware when metal spatulas and spoons will damage the teflon coating. If you are using stainless steel, titanium, or hard anodized aluminum, then a metal spatula might be a better choice. I personally use these at home as well as outdoors. They work well and are inexpensive.
