This is a neat idea. I bought it because I really enjoyed the heavy stainless steel Amco pyramid measuring spoons I bought earlier. They are indestructible. However, I had not really considered just how useful this coffee spoon is.

LONG HANDLE KEEPS YOUR HANDS OUT OF BAG OR AWAY FROM SHARP RIM:
If you buy coffee in a bag or a can, this spoon's long handle (7-1/4") makes it perfect. You keep your hands out of the bag or away from the sharp edges of the coffee can.

HOLE IN THE END FOR HANGING:
The coffee spoon also has a hole in the end of the handle, if you want to hang it up somewhere.

DURABLE AND ATTRACTIVE
Like the measuring spoons, I bought earlier, this product is made to last. It is solid. The handle will not bend and the spoon itself, I am sure could be run over by a car and escape damage-free. If you drop it on your toe, it could be memorable as well.

CURVED-BOTTOM, NOT SUITABLE FOR TAMPING:
One note, this spoon has a rounded bottom. If you want a spoon, that has a flat bottom for tamping, I noticed one long-handled just like this is also for sale on this site as well.

This is a nice product. Not one that I will get to rely on and break only never to find again. I can plan on using this a lifetime.

These trivets look good on the wall and the table. However, both need to be used for larger dishes, as they are not as stable as other trivets we own and can cause the larger dishes to tip if not perfectly centered. Even with that drawback, I like them and would buy them again.

I've seen a lot of colanders and personally, they're all about the same. What makes the Amco Colander better than others is that it uses standard sizes and they're known for their high quality steel. This is one of those where you can substitute for a cheaper product but if you got the money, go for it. =)

I bought this thinking that it would go well with my calphalon wok... unfortunately, I have yet to understand how to use it!

I"ve worked at a chinese restaurant and they don't even use tools like these so I'm guessing this is an American invention. They use a Wok Turner and a strainer all steel to let you know.

Well, the designs are interesting and the construction is good so at least it has that going for it. ALSO NOTE: Don't even think about using this on a Steel Wok, leave it on the wok for more than a few seconds and you're utensil will turn to putty.

I bought these because the tools that came with my wok kept bending during cooking, and they do hold up under pressure. Note: they work in a regular steel wok as well.

The baster bulb cracked for me too on the second use. It is terrible quality. The brush was ok, and the thermometer was fine as well. The rest was useless. Overall, it's not a bad value if you buy it understanding that you will be getting only two functional pieces: The brush and thermometer. I'd still suggest KitchenAid products instead.

I thought I'd save a little money by going this route, but I should have just spent a little more and gotten quality tools. The bulb, on the sturdy looking baster, split the second time I went to baste the turkey. I ended up using a long-handled ladel to baste the bird. Given that I no longer have a baster, the cleaning tool is obsolete. I had a terrible time trying to get that twine untied (recommend you don't try to untie the twine after preparing the turkey; clean, dry hands would have helped (sure, it seems obvious now)). The knot was so tight that I had to pick it apart with the poultry lacers. The thermometer and poultry lacers worked fine. I didn't use the brush.
