My first reaction when I picked up this set was "wow - these feel like professional hand tools". They're stiff enough to let you scoop fridge-hardened butter without bending, unlike Mom's nesting measuring spoons. They're polished, hefty and attractive - and still nest together so neatly that they take up less space in my drawer than the individual spoons we replaced. They're also much easier to find when we go fishing around in the kitchen drawer because they're all together.

Their best feature, though, is the elongated shape. Anything you need only a half teaspoon of is usually stored in a little bottle, right? With most measuring spoons you have to pour the spices into the spoon because the spoon doesn't fit easily inside the bottle. These are a natural fit, making the task easier and less messy.

You'll never regret upgrading a tool you use almost every time you cook. Treat yourself to a basic tool that doesn't feel basic at all.

Excerpt from Cook's Illustrated testing of measuring spoons:

"Even cooks who can't be bothered to pull out a measuring spoon for stovetop recipes know that such cavalier imprecision (read: eyeballing) won't cut it when baking. But which brand is best?

After filling nine spoons to level, then carefully weighing the contents, we concluded that every brand was sufficiently accurate. So preferences came down to design. We measure dry ingredients by scooping a heaping spoonful, then sweeping it to level (a method we call "dip and sweep"). Easy enough -- unless the shape of the spoon hinders either the dipping or the sweeping. Fat spoons, spoons with short handles, overly bulky spoons, and spoons with raised handles all made this task more difficult. When measuring out liquid ingredients, shallow spoons posed a higher risk of spillage than deep spoons.

Where did we end up? The sturdy Cuisipro spoons feature an elongated, oval shape that proved optimal for scooping ingredients from narrow jar. In addition, the ends of the handles curl down, putting them level with the spoon's base and thereby allowing a full measure to be set down on the counter with no tipping and no mess. Perfection is in the details."

After reading Schonhoff's glowing review I decided to order a set of these measuring spoons and I'm happy to report that my new spoons are "as advertised" and easily rate a best buy status.

BTW, if you're in need of a set of measuring cups, I can highly recommend the All-Clad 5 piece measuring cup set; which rates at the very top of my best buy list.

After going through several sets of poorly-designed spoons, these are a joy. They have a solid, hefty feel, a well-thought-out shape, and basically get the proverbial job done. Highly recommended.

For years I have used inexpensive plastic measuring spoons, it was time to put them aside and find better quality spoons.

The price and design of Cuisipro Measuring Spoons were the selling points. Once I had started to use them I liked how they felt in the hand, nice balance and weight. I enjoy using the Measuring Spoons in the way that using a quality tool increases the enjoyment of the experience of cooking.

What can you say about measuring spoons? They do what I bought them for. But I love the fact that these are a little sturdier than my last set and don't bend where the spoon and the handle join and they hold up very well in the dishwasher. I received the odd-size measuring spoons as a gift and added these to my set. I am very happy with both sets.

Not cheap but they are nicely made, look great, fit into spice jars & tins and will sit level on the counter when filled. If I just had one set it would be these.

I love the slim oval design so you can get into those tiny openings, but the handles need to be longer.

Can't believe how nice these spoons are for the price. My daughter's hubby was upset that some other spoons they had had the measurements wear away over a short period of time so I went looking for a set that would hold up for them. When I got them, they were so nice I ordered myself a set. Really like the deep bowls on them, too. No bending or breaking these spoons!

Love the oval shape of these measuring spoons. Nice solid feel. Each spoon handle has a slight curve at the top which provides a nice grip. The measurements are also engraved on each spoon so there is no need to worry about the lettering washing off or fading. Also, this set includes five different sized spoons instead of the four that you usually find with most measuring spoons. Excellent quality at a good price.
