Cuisinart Measuring Spoons: You can do betterPurchased this set of 

Cuisinart CTG-00-SMP Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons

 thinking that it would be a good replacement for a set that I had owned years ago. Without getting too snarky about them, let’s just say that they don’t quite live up to the fabled Cuisinart standard.◆ Issues:Take a look at the product photo for these spoons. You’ll see that the spoon portion is polished stainless steel. In reality, these are made from brushed stainless steel. Fortunately they do pass the “magnet test” which means that they are actually steel and not aluminum.Also in the product image, what is shown are spoons with engraved handles, showing the Cuisinart name, along with both metric and US kitchen measurements. The actual product as received has both the measurements and the logo in some type of black paint. They are supposed to be “dishwasher safe” according to the specs, but from past experience with other kitchen products, the paint might wear off in a dishwasher, so I’ll stick with hand washing.◆ Rating:It’s probably best to rate these measuring spoons on a few subjective values. Your ranking may differ from mine, but here goes:▪ Functionality: 4-stars; measurements US and metric kitchen standards▪ Finish: 2-stars; rough, not well-finished as in the product photos▪ Value: 3-stars; subjective, but you can probably do better searching a bitAs such, that averages at a 3-star overall rating, meaning that they’re OK, but no better.◆ Additional Notes:Had initially seen these measuring spoons in the 

Cheese Fondue

 video here on Amazon, and you’ll see them at about 0:10 in that free video short. Had I perhaps looked more closely at some of the product reviews before ordering these Cuisinart Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons, I might not be writing this review. Lesson learned.So which might be better? The 

Natizo Measuring Spoon Set, Stainless Steel, Accurate US and Metric Sizes

 is ranked as of the date of this review at a 4.8 out of 5 stars, with 988 customer reviews posted. And noteworthy is that 88% of these are 5-star reviews. These my cost a bit more, but it doesn’t take much to figure our what this reviewer will be buying after the black paint on my Cuisinart spoons wear off.Sorry, Cuisinart, but you can do much better than this 3-star offering.JW ▪ 6/21/2015

Deeply Flawed DesignThe first product image on Amazon–and the main one you will see when these Cuisinart measuring spoons appear in search results as of April 2022–show a smooth stainless finish with stamped markings. The accompanying images show a brushed finish with etched markings.The brushed finish seems to rust easily if left in the dishwasher overnight. The etched markings are small and will likely fade over time.

Handles bend easily, but overall satisfied with purchaseHave been looking for metal measuring spoons for a while. Loved these when they came. The handles will bend so you have to be careful. Also wish it came with 1/2 tablespoon measure. You’d be surprised how many recipes use that measurement. Overall I am satisfied with this purchase.

Sturdy productThese measuring spoons are tough and don’t bend under normal use and are dishwasher safe.
