I have been using cheap flimsy little metal scoops that my son likes to steal and wanted something more functional. I like that these have the two ends, sometimes a recipe needs the same sized tsp for two different ingredients and it's annoying to have to wash for every single one.. this resolved that The only reason I'm not giving this five stars is because they're not super strong, bendable with applied pressure which can be bent back but not sure what effect that would have over the long term and also the magnet is not very strong at all.. holds them together but alone they won't sick on the fridge or my metal bowls, only a metal surface if it's wide and if there's no gravity to oppose the magnet (on top of an edge but not on the side of anything).
I was debating between this and a different brand that I have liked in the past. I'm glad I took the gamble on this one! It's really nice to have the 1/8 tsp! They fit nicely into our spice jars (standard grocery store spices), and they seem durable - my toddler was banging one on the counter quite forcefully and it shows no sign of denting or bending! Best of all, the magnetic strip in the middle sticks to our magnetic knife bar, so they are always handy when we need them! No more digging through the drawer!!!
I've had these measuring spoons for a few months now and I have to say that out of all of my kitchen tools, these are easily the most frequently used items and the most loved tools that I have! Seeing as though we currently live in a world where there are more complaints than compliments and where cons often outweigh pros, I thought I'd show up and talk about a product that I am completely satisfied with! At the same time, I also know that what may be important to me may NOT be important anyone else, so here are the reasons below that I love these measuring spoons.
1) Its’ design allows for it to fit into most containers
As you can see from the picture, each measuring spoon comes with a round spoon on one end and a narrow shaped spoon on the other. That's super convenient because if you need to fit it into a narrow opening (for instance, when needing to get spices out of of a spice container) you can do that but at the same time, if shape doesn't matter or you're measuring wet ingredients, then you can just use the circular one on the other end just as well.
2) It feels like having 2 sets of measuring spoons instead of one
I kinda touched on this above but here's another example of why having these feel like I've purchased 2 sets of spoons. When following recipes there are usually several ingredients that require the same measurements - with some being wet and the other ingredients being dry - say for instance you may need a tbsp of flour and a tbsp of water. What this meant before I had these was that I'd have to either remember to measure out the dry ingredients before the wet ingredients so that I could use the same spoon over again or I’d have to measure out the wet ingredient first and then have to wash and dry the spoon just to measure out the dry ingredient. But because these spoons are double-headed, it doesn't matter what I do first because I can use one side for wet and the other for dry - like I just used 2 spoons instead of one so that's one less thing I have to think about.
3) It's sturdy - No bending or looking fragile. Sometimes I briefly stir my coffee with it and I see no change due to the heat.
4) It's dishwasher safe - I've washed these several times and I do not see any rust nor do I see any indication that the measurement labels are wearing off (which is something that has happened to a lot of my other measuring spoons)
.
5) The measurements of the spoons are accurate
Just to make sure that the spoons would contain the right amount for its labeling, I read the contents of the spoon to make sure that the spoon would hold the proper amount by weight. So, I took the tablespoon, placed it on a scale, tarred it out to 0 and then added cornstarch to it. Knowing that one tablespoon of cornstarch is supposed to be 7.5 g I spooned cornstarch into the tbsp until it reached 7.5g and when I did, the cornstarch was exactly leveled with the spoon so these spoons are accurate in volume and in weight.
6) Storage is very convenient
As you know, if you want to keep these altogether, this product makes it very easy to do because the spoons are magnetized; however, the magnets are also strong enough for you to store them on a refrigerator or even on a metal wall strip, if you want to store it there as well.
I rarely love a product enough to give it 5 stars but these spoons along with some stainless steel measuring cups I just bought are like the epitome of perfection for me so I couldn't help but to let everyone know that if you buy these, you will not regret it! Be well!
I am the gadget lover of our family. I ordered a second set because I absolutely love these measuring spoons, they are ingenious! Not only do they fit compactly in my drawer, they magnetically stay together. Yet, they are easy to separate if I only need a teaspoon, which I could also stick to my stainless steel pan or bowl instead of putting it down on a dirty kitchen counter. And if you do set it on a flat surface, the bottom of the spoons are flat so the contents won’t spill over. When I have a recipe that calls for a liquid and a dry teaspoon ingredient, I now have one measuring spoon that serves two purposes...no more washing/drying the wet spoon or digging around for another teaspoon that may already be in the dishwasher. And then there’s the leveler that is an extra bonus I didn’t even expect! Love that the narrow side fits better in spice jars and the extra sizes like the 3/4 teaspoon and the 1/2 tablespoon are for me the “icing on the cake”. Also, they come in a very nice box perfect for wrapping up as a gift to a friend or new bride. I thought I had the very best stainless steel measuring spoons from gourmet retailers until I found these...they are the best of the best!!
These are great!! We cook ALOT and having functional equipment is important to us. This set proves that the age old measuring spoon can be improved upon in many ways. It comes with a scraper on top that is magnetic also, so you don’t have to use a butter knife. Numerous other features make this set superior to other measuring spoons as well. The measurement marking on each spoon is huge and easy to read. No more struggling to read a stamped size. I love this. An odd measurement I’m finding more in recipes is 1/2 tablespoon. Our other sets didn’t included this and I never remember that it equals 1 1/2 tsp. Having this size is very convenient. The scraper also has measuring marks up to two inches, handy for uniformity. Having two ends with two different shaped spoons is great. It allows for getting into tighter containers and for using dry on one end and liquid on the other without having two sets in the drawer like we did before.
We highly recommend this set.
These measuring spoons were to replace one which were lost in a vacation rental unit. My thoughts were The price was right and they took up little space in the drawer. I MUST SAY THEY ARE AMAZING!!!! I was pleased with the quality and the great way they stayed together with the magnetic device. I will be ordering another set for home and for my daughters as well! Great product!
We didn't 100% need new measuring spoons but I saw these on a blog post and they looked so cute. I LOVE them. They are so compact and fit nicely and neatly together in a drawer. It is so easy to grab the spoon you need and put them back together after they are washed. They were perfect for us.
Absolutely love this set of measuring spoons! Magnetised (as opposed to being on a keyring type thing) with both oval and rectangular ends along with a leveller. How SENSIBLE!! Didn't want to put them in the utensil drawer as everything would stick to them, but popped them on the side of the microwave - readily accessible, out of the way and very useful. First set of measuring spoons that I've ever seen with a 1/2 tablespoon. Wicked. Arrived very quickly here to Australia too. Happy little camper, me!
