Cuisipro Stainless Steel Measuring Spoon Set Silver, Standard

Overall, I like these measuring spoons. I ended up buying the odd sizes set as well and combined both sets on the one ring. The 1/8th teaspoon was included on both, so I left one of those out. I'm happy with the purchase. I have other sets that are thicker gauge and arguably better quality, and can include more sizes in the one set like the CIA (Culinary Institute Of America) measuring spoons, but these spoons have one design feature which I found myself wanting which wasn't on any of the other sets I own. They have that curved lip on the end of the handle, which allows you to set a spoon level on your bench top. I found this feature very useful when say I want to freshly grind some pepper from my pepper mill, and needed the measuring spoon to stay level. With my other spoons, I can't tell you the number of times the spoon would tilt this way and that, spilling the ground pepper, which I would then have to scrape up. This thoughtfully designed feature alone made the purchase worthwhile for me. The spoons also have a long narrow shape, making it easier to say fit a spoon into a narrow spice jar to get the spice you want out. Whoever designed these measuring spoons, understood the issues cooks face when using them. They are also one single piece of stainless steel. Often, other poorly made spoons which say have the handles spot welded (or worse, simply glued on), the handles will come off, making the spoons quite useless. I don't think it would be wise to try and use these spoons to measure out something thick and viscous, like stiff molasses or honey that has crystallized, as they're not as thick a gauge as other sets, so the handles "may" bend. I can't say if they will or not, as I'm not going to test it, but for everyday measuring use, they'll be just fine. Overall, happy with these measuring spoons.

Not only are these accurate measures, they're attractive and constructed well. My last ones bent all the time. Glad I purchased these. Highly recommend.

Great measuring spoons. Easy to grab spices and designed to easily be able to level them. Designed to fit into most spice jars. Those are the reasons America's Test Kitchen gave for recommending them over all the others out there. And that's why I bought them. Easy to use, easy to clean and they have been as accurate as ATK says they are. I agree with ATK and am pleased with the purchase. My older measuring spoons are still around but don't see much use.

I purchased this after American Test Kitchen recommended and I love it, accurate, heavy duty and has a great feel to it. Best set I’ve ever owned and very reasonably priced.

The folks at America's Test Kitchen tend to annoy me with their gadget recommendations. I don't care if it matches your cuff links, fellas, I wear short-sleeve shirts.They argued that this set was the winner, because it included a fifth spoon - 1/8 teaspoon - that most sets don't include, and because they have an oval making it easier to get into narrow-neck jars.I find that I never need that smallest spoon, and I have a harder time pouring a spoon full from, say, a box of table salt, than I had with spherical-bowl spoons.They are also harder to fill with something like lard, since you have to rotate the spoon about the axis of the handle; with a spherical-cavity spoon, you can rotate around any axis, which makes it easier to keep your hands clean.At the "non-business end" of the spoons, there is a bend in the spoon that should make it easy to hold the spoon with two fingers - but I like to keep my spoons on the ring, and the bend makes it more difficult for the spoons to easily nest by themselves.Still, the spoons have a nice heft to them, and the finish of the metal is superlative, which makes it quick to rinse clean and hang-dry. That oval shape I libeled above makes it faster to drip dry - which is important if you need ti measure ground coriander not long after measuring honey.These spoons are intelligently designed, whether or not one agrees with their design decisions, and they are crafted nicely from superior materials. I could have oaid a little less, I suppose, but I have no doubt that these spoons will bed a joy to use for decades to come. I can't afford to buy tools that don't do the job reliably. I hate to agree with America's Test Kitchen - IMO, Amazon reviews tend to be more instructive - but I guess this is the acorn that the blind pig finds every once in a while.

I originally ordered a set by RSVP International Endurance, because I had a couple of single measuring spoons from them that I like. Amazon sent the wrong set, so when I saw these received a top review by America's Test Kitchen, I decided to order them because of their ability to fit in more spice bottles. I would say both sets are similar quality, with a weight similar to good silverware. Another advantage these have over the RSVP is the bent end of the handle that lets you set the spoon on the counter and keeping it level so the contents don't spill out. Not something you need all the time, but a convenience for sure.
