RSVP International Endurance Stainless Steel Spice Measuring Spoons, Set of 6 | 1/8 tsp to 1 Tbsp Measurements | Nest for Easy Storage | Dishwasher Safe | Dry or Liquid | Baking or Cooking

This set is constructed from a single piece (no edges for things to get caught in) and the amounts are stamped into the metal (shouldn't wear off). This set was one that was highly rated to be near accurate in measurements (some sets were off be quite a lot). The tablespoon fits into all my spice jars (Morton & Bassett .28 oz. and McCormick .50 oz.). Some people wanted them to include a half tablespoon in the set but why....1 1/2 teaspoons equals half a tablespoon. This set washed up nicely by hand and in the dishwasher.

I received these originally as a Christmas gift, but I love these measuring spoons so much I bought a second set. And am considering purchasing a third set! I am CONSTANTLY using them and then they are in the dishwasher dirty and I need a clean one!These are very well made, heavy, quality, well-finished spoons. They feel good in my hands. They DO work well in spice jars, and are easy to level off for baking.As for calibration... I'm not a laboratory equipped to do that, but if these spoons are off, then so are most other measuring spoons out there! I have a set of MIU spice measuring spoons and they appear to measure the same as these spoons do. Likewise for my KitchenAid spoons and a really old tablespoon from my mom and a set of cheapo plastic spoons. So I personally would not worry overmuch about accuracy. If anyone IS worried, a quality gram scale might be a better choice.Now, there is one slight disadvantage to these spoons... the rectangular shape, while absolutely fine for spices and dry measures, is a little tougher to get stickier substances out of. A tablespoon of coconut oil will slide on out of a regular bowl spoon easier than it will come out of one of these rectangular shaped bowls. So this is something to consider depending on your measuring needs.Want a tablespoon of peanut butter? Fine... but it's gonna be harder to lick the spoon clean!For that reason, I recently bought a set of MIU spice measuring spoons with rounded oval bowls. They are also nice quality, but I don't feel they are quite as well finished as this set by RSVP. They are, however, more easily lickable.Still, I find myself reaching for the RSVP spoons more often than not.Update 5.17.2010I DID buy myself a third set, and frankly, am now considering a fourth set! I'd like the fourth set to be devoted to measuring out liquid nutrients for my Aerogardens. The printing of the volume in milileters on each teaspoon is very useful for that purpose. It's sad... I have a whole bin in my utensil drawer devoted to these specific spoons. Other measuring spoons go in a separate bin, as I use these the most still! I never seem to have enough measuring spoons!

The oblong shape looks unique and cool but serves as super functional to scoop out spices directly from the tiny jars. I got a second set for my sister.

This brand of measuring spoons is the nicest I have ever seen. I ordered other sets with unusual measurements that are hard to find. All of the sets I bought are heavy, sturdy, shiny stainless steel, look great, and match each other except for the specific size. I now have 11 round measuring spoons in different sizes. Additionally, I received a measuring spoon set that also matches for use in spice bottles or boxes. These measuring spoons are so substantial it would seem they could be used for generations. I have already run them through the dishwasher and stacked them nicely in the kitchen drawer. They take less room in the drawer than I would have guessed. I have no way of calibrating them to see if the size is on the mark, but they seem excellent. This has vastly surpassed my expectations and I would heartily recommend this very attractive product.

I found these spoons to be excellent. The weight is nice and he width is terrific even for small spice jars.The bottom of the spoons are relatively flat so the spoons sit nicely in the counter. The spoons are stated deeply with both the spoon size and the metric (ml) measure for those trying to cook with a metric recipe or simply trying to use more accurate weights and volumes. The spoon measures were spot on with two other sets in my kitchen. Using the weight of 1ml of water and weighing the spoons' water measure compared to the stamped volume proved spot on as well. there have been a few reviews with concerns re the finish of these spoons - specifically rough edges on the stamped bowls. I found the set I received to be smooth and comfortable to the touch and have attached a few pictures.The pictures also show the well stamped markings, material, and country of origin.

These spoons are specifically designed to fit into jars, such as spice jars, that can be narrow. They are a sturdy construction. Really good product. The only downside is that they are difficult to “unstack”—i.e. to separate from each other when they are stacked one into the other.
