A great idea. I bought these about a year ago (an all-white set from Crate and Barrel, but same brand) and tossed out my stainless attached-with-a-ring set. I can grab the spoon I need and not have to wash the whole set. And the oval-shaped end is great for fitting into the mouthes of spice jars. A lovely gift for your favorite baker.

What could be better? You won't lose them in your drawer (because they stick together magnetically), they're easier to handle and separate easier than spoons connected by a ring, and you can save on clean up because you won't need to use 2 different teaspoons if a recipe calls for, say, 1 teaspoon of this and then another teaspoon of that. You can use the same spoon because there are two separate ends to use. (I should seriously buy stock in Progressive Int'l. They make the best and most useful kitchen items! And, no, I don't work for them.)

Trying to get through baking with a single set of measuring spoons had become a pain in the neck. If I needed a teaspoon of something dry after measuring out a teaspoon of something liquid, I had to stop and dry the spoon before using. I decided I needed a second set of measuring spoons -- right up until these spoons arrived. Now I don't use my original set because these offer a "dry" and a "wet" spoon for each measurement. Furthermore, the dry spoons are superior to my old set because they are specifically designed to fit the mouth of a small jar, which my old round spoons often failed to accomplish.

The magnetic attachment of the spoons is a nice touch, too, although I'm sometimes bemused to find one of the spoons stuck on another utensil.

Oh my god, I will never need another set of spoons ever. Before I got this set, I had three other sets kind of floating around in the utensil drawer. I have since thrown them all out. This is by far the best set of measuring spoons I have ever owned.

First of all, they're magnetic, so they stack neatly in a drawer without taking up any space at all. Even when you're knocking things around, looking for that particular spatula, (as one does) these spoons still remain attached as a set, so you don't ever have to hunt them down. If you need a spoon, you can just pluck one off, you don't have to wrestle a spoon off a 'key ring'. Also, because they stack in order, you can find exactly the spoon you need with no fuss.

Second of all, they're double ended. Big spoon bowl on one end, narrow spoon bowl on the other. The narrow spoon is perfect for spice jars, and having two spoons on one handle has been a total lifesaver. Need to measure 1 tbs of flour and then 1 tbs of corn starch? (*not an actual recipe, just an example, that would make horrible cookies). You don't have to wash the spoon in between, just flip it around! That alone has saved me so much work.

I am immediately buying the cup set. I can already feel my life improving dramatically. I have a new found sense of confidence and I think I may even have lost some weight. :-) Seriously though, these spoons totally rock!

These spoons are great for the price.

Even though the package says "Dishwasher Safe",

I would not recommend putting them in the dishwasher.

They do not hold up in the dishwasher.

My spoons always end up all over the drawer. This way I can keep them all together and take out easily the ones I'll be needing at the time. The different shaped heads are a perfect soulution to fitting them into your spices. There is no 1/3 tsp in this set.

Just what everyone else here said -- these are fantastic. No more ring, so no more getting every spoon dirty when you use just one. Sit flat on the table so you can fill and then wait for the moment you need that ingredient. I've gotten these as gifts for a few close friends who are cooks. Every time I use them I marvel at their good design!

Bought these as a gift for MIL and then had to get a set myself. Comes in handy when baking...have 2 chances to use each size. Set up on counter without tipping over and don't get lost in the drawer. Would recommend.

My man runs the kitchen but is not organized about it. These spoons have saved a lot of hassle as I now only have to clean one at a time and we both know where to find them nested together in the drawer. I bought two sets, and received each with alternating colors that I was able to make two same-color sets with. Love them!

I've had these for a couple years, and plan on giving them to all my favorite bakers this Christmas. They are so handy--no rings, they stay neat in the drawer and you can easily wash one at a time. Tiny little issue is that I've had the magnets come loose a couple times. But this wasn't anything a little bit of super glue couldn't fix.
