RSVP InternationalEndurance Stainless Steel Measuring Scoop Collection, 0.25-Cup

This scoop is heavy, solid, and shiny. Moreso than any of the others I saw. And it has a hook on the end to hang it up on the wall. If you are spending $20 on a half-cup scoop, you wanna show it off, amiright??

This 1/2 cup scoop is the perfect size to dig into the corners of a 5 lb. flour bag--and all kinds of other containers, too. Myself, I'm a big fan of the famous "No-Knead Bread Recipe" that appeared in the New York Times a couple years back ([...] -- or search Google for "no-knead bread recipe" for lots of variations), and w/ this one tool I can do the whole job: measure ingredients--obviously flour before the water, and two quick 1/2 cup scoops is just as fast as leveling a regular 1 cup measure. Then here's the great part: the scoop is plenty sturdy to also serve as the mixing spoon, AND it is nicely shaped, as well, to scrape around the insides of the bowl to pull everything in. No rubber spatula needed. And obviously clean-up is a snap.Storage is at a premium in my kitchen with no room for specialized single-chore gadgets. Every single item has to earn it's space by virtue of good design, multiple uses, and dead-easy clean-up. This scoop handily makes it on all three counts and reduces bread-baking gear to a mere 3 items: a bowl, the scoop & either a pan or a baking stone (depending on the shape of loaf) and that's it! I am assuming you are confident enough of your kitchen skills to guess for the 1/4 teaspoon yeast and the teaspoon of salt; the recipe is remarkably forgiving, in any case, and after a few times you'll have your own feel for it.What makes this scoop so good is the solid quality of its construction and the thoughtful simplicity of it's design. Neither a round nor a square measure is nearly as adaptable for so many uses. It comes in 1-cup and 1/4-cup sizes, too, but I think the 1/2-cup is the most useful and makes the other two sizes excess clutter. On the other hand, if you have a huge kitchen, and like Martha Stewart, you have a team of assistants trailing behind you doing clean-up, then by all means go for all three.And if you haven't already heard about that no-knead bread, do give it try. Although it might take a couples of batches to totally get the feel of it down, I think you'll be amazed how easy it is to turn out great homemade bread with an absolute minimum of effort.

Perfect for keeping in my flour bin to quickly scoop and measure for recipes! Nice weight and quality.

When I got the measuring scoop it's nice and sturdy also accurate.

The most important part of this review (at least to me) is that this scoop's capacity is 1 cup, according to the attached tag that comes with it. This is important since, at least at the time I ordered it, that capacity is not explicitly stated in the product detail. (Also this "medium" scoop  Stainless Steel Scoop, Medium  is 1/2 c and this "small" scoop  RSVP Stainless Steel Scoop Small 1/4 cup NEW  is 1/4 c.) I, personally, was having a very hard time imagining the size based on the "9 inch" descriptor that was all that was available at the time I bought this.Yes, this is a very pricy scoop, and I was hesitant to buy because of that, but after looking locally and not finding what I wanted/needed, I took a gamble and I'm glad I did. Yes, it's expensive, but it feels like it should be. It's heavy (literally), and heavy duty, and appears as if it will last a lifetime. No weld marks or other blemishes, on the perfectly smooth, highly glossed surface. Washes beautifully in the dishwasher (first thing I did) and has a round, comfortable handle with a loop on the end for hanging, if desired. Handle is also firmly attached (entire scoop and handle is one piece) and solid.Perfect for scooping dry goods--narrow enough to fit into even the skinniest canister opening--or even pet food (especially if you want/need to control serving size), I actually ended up ordering two more after my initial purchase.I actually purchased it to dispense dog food in stable increments, but ended up buying the additional two to replace the even more expensive All-Clad measuring scoops I've used for years for flour and sugar. This handle is just much, much more comfortable to use and the "height" of the scoop's sides make it feel easier to dip and scoop cleanly and precisely.

We had a plastic one-half measuring scoop that was shaped similarly. It broke. I purchased this one to replace it. We make dog food for our dog and freeze it in small plastic bags. A shallow scoop like this one works better than a regular half cup measuring cup for getting the food into the plastic bag. The scoop seems to be quite sturdy. I am very happy with this purchase.

This is a top quality piece. Too bad it’s made in China.

Convenience

long and strong.

Just what I was looking for for my flour and sugar

Great shape for measuring out flour

Je suis vraiment satisfaite du produit. Solide et d'une justesse irréprochable. Je m'en sert souvent, surtout pour faire mon pain. Je recommande sans hésiter.

Great measuring spoon for narrow flour containers
