PrepWorks 5pc Measuring Spoons Set – Stainless Steel, Accurate Measurements for Cooking and Baking, Easy-to-Read, BPA-Free

I bought a version of this set from Macy's four years ago. It was made for the Martha Stewart brand and the plastic part in the middle of each spoon was a different color, but the set was otherwise the same. Now, four years later, I still use the spoons regularly and they are still in great condition: they haven't fallen apart, they aren't bent, and the writing on the plastic part hasn't come off yet (although the writing on my most used spoon is a little smeared). I will say that I make sure to be careful with them. For example, I always hand-wash them in warm, not hot, water because I think washing these in the dishwasher could loosen the plastic part and the hot water could wash away the writing on the plastic, but maybe I'm being a little paranoid.I like these measuring spoons for the same reasons everyone else does. You basically get two sets of measuring spoons, which means you don't have to wash a measuring spoon to measure two different things. One end of each measuring spoon is narrow to fit into spice jars (sometimes I wish I had a set where both ends are narrow). The spoons are designed such that, when you set a spoon down on the counter, it remains perfectly level. And, of course, the best part about these spoons is that they are magnetic. I don't like measuring spoon sets that are kept together such that you can't separate them easily or at all. If I only need a teaspoon of something, the other spoons automatically come along with the teaspoon, and then they might get dirty and I'd have to wash them, even though I didn't use them. But the main reason I like the magnetic feature is that I'm not one of those cooks that gets everything ready before I start cooking. I often measure things as I go along and these spoons suit my style of cooking. The magnets are strong enough to keep the set together, but weak enough so you can separate the spoons with one hand.Some possible cons:- Someone's review mentioned that the spoons can attach themselves to unintended items. That's true; my spoons sometimes attach to my stainless steel measuring cups or sink, but that doesn't bother me. As I mentioned before, the magnets are weak enough to separate the spoons from other items easily. I didn't even remember that this happens until I read it in that other person's review.- I would definitely prefer if the writing on each spoon were engraved or embossed on the plastic instead of printed, but it doesn't bother me enough to remove any stars. I just try to be careful when I wash the spoons.I love this set so much that I just bought this set as a gift for a friend. I compared this new set with my Martha Stewart set and, fortunately, I did not run into any of the knock-off problems that other people encountered because the spoons were exactly the same. However, I do wish Progressive would sell a multi-colored version like the Martha Stewart set. Not only is it fun, but having color-coded spoons is helpful.

The media could not be loaded. ► Why I like it:These are very accurate. I test measured them using water and my scale and found them to be spot on when the hydrogen bond of the water reached a medium or average sized mound. I did not push it to the maximum, as that was not necessary. Unlike older reviews, mine have the Progressive logo on them and are well made with smooth edges. I received mine on July 13, 2016.I like how they nest very easily. Having the magnets hold them together makes it super easy to separate and put back together. You can also store these on one of those magnetic knife bars if you wanted to.Having both the dry and wet measure for each size on the same spoon is very handy. Many a time when I am using them I find that I need the same measure for both wet and dry. Having two on one means that I do not have to worry about drying a wet spoon in between. I am free to not have to plan ahead of time to avoid drying like I used to do in the past. You don't realize how handy that really is until you use it and discover for yourself.I also like the assortment of sizes. The only one missing is the 1/8th, but really, that's just a pinch anyhow. Having the wider assortment of sizes makes measuring faster and less cleanup as you are not having to combine two measures to get what you need.With flat bases, these stand straight up, full or empty, on any level surface. This is super nice, as you can pre-measure whatever you need to and not worry about it tumbling over when you set it down.A few have said that their markings have started to wear off. I have not experienced that. Maybe that was from the knock-offs that apparently were sold here for a while. I hand wash mine simply because it is faster and it lets me keep them all together and put them all away from those hands that may not tend to put things back (I think we all have one in the family like that).► Pros:Very accurate. Includes the ml equivalent. Has both a dry and wet measuring spoon for each size. Magnets hold their nesting together making it super easy to separate. No chain or ring to clip and unclip to use these. Stand straight up, full or empty, on any level surface.► Cons:None. Some have said their labels are beginning to wear, but I have not experienced that. Mine are genuine Progressive products with their logo.► Suggestions for Improvement:None.► Would I buy again?Yes!► Purchasing Decision & Questions:I hope I have helped your purchasing decision of these PROGRESSIVE Magnetic Measuring Spoons.
