Tala A10550 Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons, 5 Piece Set for Measuring Dry and Liquids

Product Information

While these are picturesque, the range of sizes is fairly basic. The four spoons start at 1/2 teaspoon and go up to 1 tablespoon. The measurement markings are in the standard format (no milliliters here) and are handwritten on the handles. And being ceramic, they might break as Alpers's set has. All that said, they do darling and if you'll be taking photos of your bakes afterward, they'll fit right in.

The spoons are attached with a simple, effective clip that can easily open if you want to remove just a single spoon. This design also makes for hassle-free use of a single spoon when the whole bundle is attached. Finally, in comparison to other plastic measuring implements, these spoons hold up surprisingly well to drops, resistant ingredients, and washes in hot water.Measurement markings should be clear to read from the distance of your countertop to your eye. Markings that are permanently a part of a spoon's handle, whether that's through embossing or baked into the material, are preferred since they will last the life of the spoon. Markings that are simply painted on are more apt to be rubbed off over time. The 10 Best Utensil Organizers to Store All of Your Kitchen Tools and Flatware Questions You Might Ask How many measuring spoon sets should you have? The handles on these spoons are shorter than other options in this list, making it more difficult to reach ingredients at the bottom of containers. While in many ways this adjustable spoon simplifies the measurement process, adjusting the size adds an extra step when measuring. Because you have to pay careful attention when sliding the top piece to ensure accuracy, using this tool may increase time spent measuring and make the process more complicated if a recipe requires multiple ingredients in differing amounts. Please note, this tool is not dishwasher-safe.

A good measuring spoon is a tool used by any cook. Accurate measurement of the small details that make any dish drool-worthy isn’t only just about making a delicious dish, though. It’s also about learning the strengths and weaknesses of your ingredients and how an overall final dish becomes balanced. Practice making a dish enough and you might not need the spoons anymore, but there’s something that can be quite satisfying about these tiny, well-wrought tools that act as conveyances of flavor. To me, the measuring spoons I’ve kept over the years feel just like old friends. If you sometimes want a round spoon, sometimes an oval one, and all the time want your spoons to easily nest together, then this is the set for you. These have that round side with an oval shape on the other, which makes it easy to switch when you need to scoop from a spice jar.Plastic measuring spoons are usually much lighter in weight, making them more ergonomic for scooping and much more kid-friendly. Perhaps the most important spec to look for when considering the material is if the set is dishwasher-safe (every option in this list is dishwasher-safe unless otherwise noted in the product description). Handwashing measuring spoons can be a pain, getting the interior of each bowl clean (especially after measuring wet ingredients) can require extra effort — an option that can pop in the dishwasher is a huge plus. They’re stainless steel, nest together nicely, and have magnetic handles for easy storage. Measurements in both metric and standard formats are marked in the center of the spoon on the plastic grip space, with reviewers stating that these markings stay put for years. Available in six different colors, the set also includes a handy leveler for when you get a little ambitious with your spices. Digital measuring spoons are different from traditional measuring spoons since they measure by weight, rather than by volume. They almost seem like mini kitchen scales, and can easily replace them for precise measurements by weight of small amounts of ingredients like yeast. There's not much of a handle to these spoons because of the squeezable self-leveling design, which makes them a little uncomfortable to hold. Yet, the spoons snap together for neat storage, so you'll always be able to find them in your kitchen drawer. You can fan them out to access the one you need or pull them apart. Who it’s for: People who want a measuring spoon set that will last a lifetime and won’t tip over when placed on the counter.
