Kitchen Reviews

You're cooking with your 11-year-old, who's pretty skilled at math, but conversions are beyond what's been taught, at least in practical application. The Amco measuring equivalent chart allows you to keep those elusive math solutions at eye-level. It creates a great opportunity to "cook and learn"...get the job done, and while you're both chewing on those wonderful cookies that great kid just created, you can teach the math that relates to what just happened. If you want your child, as I do, to know why math and science will always be important in their lives, this little magnetic tool on the refrigerator will give you the chance prove your point! Go for it.

I greatly enjoy using this spoon. Nice and heavy, with smooth edges, it's very well made. A pair of these are great for serving salad.

Amco is a commercial line of heavy duty stainless steel products that are used in restaurant and home kitchens. This Amco Professional 12-Inch 18/8 Stainless Steel Slotted Spoon is a very durable utensil. You will find yourself reaching for it to remove any kind of food from hot or boiling water. Its long handle, with a hole for hanging on your pot rack, helps to protect you from steam burns. This slotted spoon, like other Amco stainless steel kitchen utensils, is very utilitarian and will last you a lifetime. It is dishwasher-safe, too.

Highly recommended!

If you are tired of those plastic pasta forks that melt or become disfigured this is the fork for you! I love the long handle which keeps you safe from accidental burns. It cleans easily, too... just throw it in the dishwasher.

I was attracted to their angular design but was disappointed by their poor finish. The brand name and size is stamped onto each spoon and the stamping shows clear to the other side in a very uneven and unintended way. The polishing, too, is inferior with dark and light patches. Other measuring spoons, also made in China, are so well made and finished that I can give this item only 2 stars for its (possibly) elegant design.
I recommend the Oxo measuring spoon set for the lovely combination of rubber and stainless-steel or the Endurance Spice Spoons made by RSVP if you are attracted to the rectilinear look.

These are nice and sturdy so they don't bend. The shape fits in most spice bottles and tins. I separated them because they're a little heavy. The only thing I don't like about them is that the square handles dig into your hands. They should have rounded the handles.

I love not only the aesthetic design, but the engineering of these spoons. The end of the handle bends downward, leveling the instrument so that the spoon doesn't tip over and spill any of its contents while on the countertop. The main reason I bought the set was to have the stable 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 tsp and pinch measurements consistent with an entire set. I do wish the larger sizes fit into spice bottles, but frankly I don't find the round spoons to do a very good job of that, either. Ovoids and oblongs are the only shapes that I find do a good job inside spice bottles. I have all shapes because they do differnt jobs, but the level engineering of these is a lifesaver. To the customer to received a thin set in which the stamp shows through, I'd send it back; I think you got a lemon. I've had mine several years, so perhaps they're made more cheaply now, but mine are great. If I had my dream set of 15, however, it would include the following measurements by ONE manufacturer, color-coded for ease of recognition, they would come in a round set, an ovoid set, and an oblong or pyramid set, and I'd get all 3 sets:

2 Tbsp (1/8 cup)
3/4 Tbsp
1 Tbsp
1/2 Tbsp
1 tsp (1/3 Tbsp)
1/4 Tbsp
3/4 tsp
2/3 tsp
1/2 tsp
1/3 tsp
1/4 tsp
1/8 tsp
1/16 tsp
1/32 tsp
1/64 tsp
The Container Store sells a set listing drop, pinch, smidge, and hint, which I guess are the last 4 I listed, but I don't know that. I ended up with a set saying "tad, pinch, smidge and hint," but at least one of them is bigger than 1/4 tsp.

If you're like me, you can't really ever have TOO many of these. They're your typical stainless prep bowls, great for whisking and mixing.

This package comes with four little bowls, all with sealing tops, which actually do seal quite nicely. The largest bowl is about what the size of something you'd use for cereal. The smallest will hold no more than one large egg.

They're a bit smaller than I expected, but they are made pretty well and clean up great in the dishwasher. The lids have even gone through the dishwasher several times without incident.
