Customer Review: worth the price and more
Summary: 5 Stars
These are by far the best designed measure spoons on mkt, at a price less than some other la-de-da brands. In a side comment to one other reviewer, the company does make a set of odd-size spoons (I think 2T, 1.5T, pinch, 1/8t and one other size, can't recall what it is, some fraction of a tsp.) There is also a six-spoon set of spice measures, with elongated, oval bowls to slide through spice jar openings more easily. A nice concept, though I don't believe there is any legal mandate to restrict use to spice jars alone.
So, why best design? The metal is heavy gauge stainless, it's not going to bend in ordinary usage. The spoons nest nicely in a drawer but have a generous hole in handle to hang up if des. The bowls of all the sets are flat on bottom. This, along with a curve at the opposite end of the handle, allows you to rest the spoons flat on a counter with whatever you are measuring in advance of need, and, if you have a shaky hand you can pour a liquid into a spoon set on a convenient surface. At the join between the bowl and handle, there is a small bulge in the circumference of the bowl's rim. This allows you to see clearly when a liquid is just at top and helps avoid overfill/spill. Until I bought these, I had never considered the idea that there might be any engineering to apply to design of spoons ( other than trying for approx. correct size in a measuring spoon)
The measure cups are also heavy gauge stainless, with pierced handle for hanging or can nest comfortably in drawer. The bottoms are very flat and the cups themselves weigh enough that the weight of the handles won't tip them over. Also, when the cups are nested and you have a good grip on the handles, they are heavy enough to use as a weapon. As a blackjack, they would have some limitations because the handles aren't really long enough, but they might serve in a pinch. And yes, I do own them, but no, I haven't used them as a weapon.
