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

Product Information

Who it’s for: People who prefer one clutter-free item for all measurements as opposed to a multitude of different measuring spoons. You can buy measuring spoon sets with anywhere from one spoon to 10. Some sets are double-sided, meaning that they have a different measuring size on each end, and others are adjustable, with just one spoon that can be adjusted to various measurement sizes.

Nearly all measuring cups will nest together for purposes of storage and access, but the measuring spoons won’t always fit within the cups. If this is important to you, be sure to look for a set that fully nests. Otherwise, the magnetic handles featured on the OXO cups and spoons will be useful for keeping everything together.This digital measuring spoon performs just like that. It has a tare so you can add multiple ingredients into the spoon bed for measuring, making sure to straighten it on the counter for an accurate reading. It also comes with auto-shutoff after 1 minute. Most importantly, it has four modes of measurement: gram, ounce, grain, and carat. It measures anything from 0.1 grams to 500 grams and comes with two AAA batteries. There’s one hard truth about baking: It’s a science. Paying close attention to measurements, mixing time, rest time, and oven temperature will either make or break your favorite sourdough recipe. As a former professional pastry chef, I can admit there have been more than a few times I’ve opened the oven door to an unexpected outcome, which is why I’m now very careful to measure out every single wet and dry ingredient. The technical answer is yes,” says Krikorian, “because liquid has a curve that forms on the top so you can't really fill a measuring spoon completely to the top with liquid. However, on a practical basis, I use the same measuring spoons for both liquids and dry ingredients. The difference is minuscule.” The set has a stylish and minimal look, and each spoon has the measurement permanently etched onto it so it won’t wear off over time. The markings can be a little hard to read for some people since they’re not in a bright color. Depending on which set you buy (it’s available in six, seven, eight, and nine pieces) a few of the smaller spoons can fit into spice jars, whereas the larger ones and their round shape can’t get into smaller containers. However, this set topped our list of the best measuring spoons as it is versatile, durable, and reasonably priced.

There’s a wide range of materials in the measuring spoons on the market, from plastics to silicone to different metals and even ceramic. Each material has its pros and cons, but one of the most important criteria to answer in terms of material is whether something is dishwasher safe.

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.
