They've been washed countless time and for whatever reason, we haven't had the fading issues that I've seen posted here. Easy to find in the drawer, too. We have two sets. . more colorful than the 'old-fashioned' kind. one in black, one in white. Also have the matching measuring cups.
Very annoying. Nice to have the "odd" sizes included, but I only hand wash mine and the labels started disappearing fairly quickly.
I'd give it a five, but, you know.the numbers wear off. It's a plus that they're all pretty standard sizes so that when the "permanently bonded brightly colored dots" wear off, I can just compare them to the other spoons I have.If your biggest concern is whether or not you'll be able to read the lettering on these spoon in 3 years, don't buy the set.If you're looking for a good value for a set of measuring spoons to compliment what you might already own or if you're pretty solid with recognizing and remembering spoon sizes, then this is a quality buy. Otherwise, these spoons are more fully functional than the second death star (and you won't have to worry about space ships flying through and blasting holes through your spoon). (Pros)+ They function well as spoons and / or scoops.+ Easy to maintain and clean+ Inexpensive+ They all match one another(Cons)+ (this is the big "Duh" by looking @ other reviews) the paint wears offI cook a lot and I actually purchased these from a grocery store one night when I finally grew tired of having to wash out my metal measuring spoons with every new ingredient I used. These spoons work as advertised - there has never been a time where the material I was scooping or measuring completely passed through the spoon without picking up.
They also have rubberized handles which make them easy to grip, and even easier if you get water or something on it as you're cooking/prepping; it's not made out of that cheap plastic material that most cooking spoons are made from. Contrary to what that little hog Rach Ray claims all cooks need to have a good set of measuring spoons. These OXO Good Grips are probably the very best set of measuring spoons that I have ever used.
A good set of measuring spoons are just as useful and needed as a good set of kitchen knives. Remember, you are what you cook. I have had to implement their warranty on more than one occasion and it was always easy and very simple. OXO offers a lifetime "100% satisfaction guarantee" on all of their merchandise.
They're also all interconnected so I can always find them and they never clutter up my kitchen cabinet (I hate disorganization almost as much as I hate a messy kitchen). These are made by OXO, a really great kitchen utensil company. That is because it's absolutely impossible to "eye-ball" small amounts of measurements, especially when you're using leavening ingredients. I did take off 1 star only because the color-coded measurements are starting to wash off.
They're even dishwasher safe. I like the fact that they include the color-coded measurements on each. I have probably used these every single day that I have cooked since I purchased them because they are so practical and useful and helpful.
Overall, I would suggest a set that nestles more closely unless you plan to hang them somewhere. I received these measuring spoons as a wedding present, and liked them for the bright dots that showed the measurement. Of course, the spoons work fine, but they are certainly not the best I have ever used. Unfortunately, those bright dots wore away very quickly and I found the spoons to be bulky and the hanger to be awkward. I have small kitchen drawers, and these measuring spoons never lay smoothly in the drawer and often keep my drawer from closing or keep it from opening.
