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

Product Information

This set includes the sizes you'll use most often, so it's a great starter set for new chefs making simple and easy recipes. Four spoons complete this set, including 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, and 1 tablespoon, all of which are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. We miss some of the other measurements, like 1/8 teaspoon, but it isn't a deal breaker. 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.

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. With a significant weight, these measuring spoons feel nice in the hand and hold up to other Le Creuset-quality cookware items. The set comes with five measurements — 1/8 teaspoon, 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, and 1 tablespoon — all stamped and easy to read. They are specifically designed with handles welded at an angle to support the bowl when resting flat on a surface, so if you’re measuring out a dry ingredient and put the spoon down, these spoons won’t spill or wobble. This piece was updated by Jenny Kellerhals, a professional pastry chef and food writer based in New York City.

With a typical tiny NYC kitchen, only the most useful tools make the cut at home. Material: Plastic | Dishwasher Safe: Yes | Measurements: 1/8 teaspoon, 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 3/4 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, 1.5 teaspoons, 2 teaspoons, 2.5 teaspoons, 1 tablespoon | Number in Set: 2Magnets keep these four spoons together, so you'll always be able to find the one you need in your drawer. You can also separate them and hang them on your refrigerator or another metal surface where they'll always be handy. Our tester noted the spoons are a tad too large to fit inside most spice jars, but the magnetic feature more than makes up for this minor inconvenience. Our tester was able to find the spoons she needed in next to no time at all. A pinch is generally considered to be approximately 1/16 teaspoon, but it’s always good to taste the result then adjust it if needed. If you have a 1/8 teaspoon measure, you can fill it halfway for "a pinch." Why Trust Simply Recipes?

Who it’s for: Beginner cooks or anyone who wants a basic set of measuring spoons for day-to-day use.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. 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. 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.
