Spice Jar Measuring Spoons

Unlike traditional bowl-shaped measuring spoons resembling those intended for stirring and eating, these stainless steel Spice Jar Measuring Spoons have a common-sense rectangular shape and narrower profile. They fit easily through the typical small opening of a spice container. And if the container opening has a straight edge, you can level it as you withdraw the spoon — a big plus. The set also contains two extra sizes that aren’t normally included with the average measuring spoon set: 1/8 and 3/4 teaspoon. I find the 3/4 spoon particularly handy in that two 3/4 teaspoons equals 1/2 tablespoon, a measurement I frequently encounter after scaling down a recipe. I have been using these sturdy spoons daily for over 3 years, and have found no down-side to using them for all my measuring needs — liquid or dry. Given their advantage with small containers, I can see little reason to use traditional measuring spoons other than the slightly lower cost.
