About this deal

Measuring spoons are used as a standard measurement for liquid or dry ingredients in cooking or baking. Most contemporary recipes published in books or online have printed measurements that can include the use of measuring spoons to assure that the recipe comes out the way it was planned. It’s particularly important in baking that measurements be specific—the entire success of the recipe may depend on it. In cooking, exact measurements may not be as vital as in baking, yet clearly the best results will be found when using measuring spoons where indicated, particularly if you’re measuring oil or spices. 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.

Magnetic Measuring Spoons Set of 6 Stainless Steel Dual Sided

As the most space-saving option on our list ( a trait that the brand is known for), Joseph Joseph’s Measure-Up Adjustable Measuring Spoon takes up the least amount of storage space and is essentially seven (or more) measuring spoons in one practical and compact tool. Useful for both wet and dry ingredients, with both metric and U.S. markings, this adjustable spoon allows you to set the measurement required with a simple slide of the handle insert. It’s made from BPA-free plastic and, at just 0.08 pounds, it is extremely lightweight, too. If you’re after a fancy set of measuring spoons that will look good if left out on display, try Crate & Barrel's Maeve Dipped Ceramic set. Modern with a rustic feel, these spoons are sure to bring out the Julia Childs in you. Four different-sized spoons come in the set, and each spoon’s handle is dip-dyed in a refreshing color (navy blue, mustard yellow, aqua, and coral). The spoons have holes in their handles so you can attach a loop or lanyard, and can easily be washed in the dishwasher. For a high-end set of measuring spoons that are incredibly durable and sure to last a lifetime, go for this heavy-gauge stainless steel set from Le Creuset. Sure, it’s on the pricier end of the scale, but it’s quite likely the last set of measuring spoons you’ll ever need to buy. There are five pieces in the set, and the smaller two can even fit into small spice jars. They’re made from 18/10 stainless steel, provide accurate measurements, and won’t rust. The set comes on an easily detachable stainless steel hinged round ring, too. We measured salt, sugar, and cooking oil with this set. The underside of the handles is slightly contoured, which we find comfortable to grip, but this may not be the case with larger hands. The spoons are wide and shallow, which is sufficient for dry ingredients, but liquids easily sloshed over the sides when we weren't careful. The bowl of each spoon has a bit of a rim, which makes it tougher to accurately level dry ingredients compared to other sets. The best type of measuring spoon is one that feels convenient and accessible,” says McCoy. “You'll never want to pull out your measuring tools, or even bake for that matter, if it does not feel easy and achievable.”Measuring spices requires the same precision as measuring sugar or salt, but since spice bottles tend to be narrow, round, or wide spoons often don't fit inside the bottles to scoop the spices. These spoons, however, are designed to fit into spice jars, creating less of a mess. But you can use them for all your other measuring needs, too.

Zulay Kitchen Stainless Steel Magnetic Measuring Spoons - 8

Measuring spoons are essential kitchen tools for anyone who loves to cook and bake, but even those who do the bare minimum in the kitchen will most likely need a measuring spoon at some point. Whether measuring wet or dry ingredients, these affordable instruments will make your life a whole lot easier. Nowadays, measuring spoons are extremely standardized to ensure that your recipe matches what you are measuring out and putting into the bowl,” McCoy adds. For measuring accuracy, however, McCoy explains that measuring spoons should be leveled off with a spatula or finger. The U-Taste 18/8 Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons are equally great as a first set for new cooks or a complete set for cooks who often cut recipes in half (resulting in a lot of small ingredient quantities). Accomplished cooks will love the precision of the smaller measures that aren't usually included in basic sets, like the 1/2 tablespoon. In all, it includes nine spoons that measure 1/16 teaspoon, 1/8 teaspoon, 1/4 teaspoon, 1/3 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 3/4 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, 1/2 tablespoon, and 1 tablespoon. While the collection is quite extensive, we find it doesn't take up much space in a drawer since the full set nests inside one another and is held together by a detachable ring, which also allows hanging storage. Fun colors and easy-to-read markings make this budget set a pleasure to use in the kitchen. The colors are great when young kids are helping in the kitchen since you can tell them to use the blue spoon or the red one instead of measurements. They're also durable for being made of plastic and extra lightweight, which our tester appreciated when letting her toddler help prep a loaf of banana bread.

Definitely not, no matter how much we may wish it was. Spoons used for dining can be a variety of sizes, which makes it risky to use them as measuring spoons, particularly when baking. During testing, we discovered the spoons had a nice weight to them and felt quite durable. The bowl of each spoon is deep, so liquids are easily contained, and the edge is straight and thin, which made leveling dry ingredients simple. We find the measurement markings a little tough to read, though. They're etched into the handles, but they're not as crisp as they could be, and some are darker and stand out more than others. Since these spoons are round, the larger measurements don't fit into standard spice jars. However, each spoon is made from sturdy stainless steel with a brushed finish and is dishwasher safe.
