All-Clad Stainless Measuring Spoon Set Review

All-Clad Stainless Measuring Spoon Set

(More customer reviews)
This review is for the following:
All-Clad 8 Pc. STANDARD-Size Measuring Cup & Spoon Combo Set which has
Spoon sizes: ? teaspoon, ? teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, 1 tablespoon
Cup sizes: ?, 1/3, ?, 1
The spoons are rock solid and a "little" better than my CIA spoon set. The cups are also rock solid and "much" better than my MIU cups! The set is made exclusively for Williams-Sonoma (WS) so I'm not sure if the set can be found at Amazon. The set at WS is about $39 so it's a better deal to buy the set instead of purchasing the spoons or cups separately. Note this is a "standard" set.
WS also carries
All-Clad 6 Pc. ODD-size Measuring Cup & Spoon Combo Set which has
Spoon sizes: 2 teaspoons, 1.5 teaspoons, 2 tablespoons
Cup sizes: 2/3, ?, 1.5
The latter set is about $30. Note this is an "odd" set. Both sets will set you back about $70 and is well worth it.
The two issues I have with these sets is, first, the cups will not stack. The cups from the standard set will stack and the cups from the odd set will stack but putting all the cups together will not stack.
My next issue is that the sets do not have the 1/8 cup or 1/8 teaspoons. So you have to remember that two tablespoons make 1/8 cup. Their 1/4 cup does have a line on it marking where 1/8 is. I think 1/8 teaspoon is possibly the same as a "dash." I guess I'll have to eye-ball the 1/8 teaspoon.
The MIU cup set has 1/8 cup and the CIA measuring spoon set has 1/8 teaspoon.
Please note that I just got my MIU and CIA about a week ago and the All-Clad is so nice that I bought it and I'm giving the MIU and CIA to my daughter. No, I am not an All-Clad fan. Look at the review I wrote about All-Clad's Cop-R-Chef (it got 1 star).

MIU Stainless-Steel 7-Piece Measuring Cup Set Review

MIU Stainless-Steel 7-Piece Measuring Cup Set

I really like this set. Long handles...yes the cups are more wide than deep (trying to get used to that)...and they are heavyweight, stainless steel...but
- I find dry foods kind of "stick" to these weird "ridges" on the inside / no one has mentioned that and I have to take special care to wipe them out afterward - more so than with smooth stainless/they are not smooth on the inside/bottom. That's as good as I can explain it.
- The larger cups balance on their own when empty without their handles tipping/touching - back to the counter but the others do not. This may not be a big deal to you - but I thought there would be that consistency there meaning when empty all the handles would stay elevated off the counter, not all of them do...and I get annoyed with some tipping back on their handles when empty...is that just me? I have to stack them all into the 1 cup to keep them from doing that...but they do stack nicely.
I like the sizes...this really is the best set for sizes. If you can afford this set - get it. It is a once in a lifetime buy - these will last a lifetime...
I also like how the markings are clearly engraved into the handles and I like how the handles are straightback level with each cup and long.
Thanks for reading.

Amco Measuring Cups, Set of 4 Review

Like many other reviewers have said, the handles on the cups break off with the slightest resistance. I'm not talking about yanking on it or anything, I was cleaning the cups in a normal fashion when the handle came off. I'm very disappointed with these cups and shocked that Cook's Illustrated would recommend them. I will think twice before listening to their advice on equipment in the future.
