FAQs
What materials are these measuring spoons made from?
The product description does not specify the exact materials, but they are designed for kitchen use. Hand washing is recommended to maintain their quality.
What are the exact measurement ranges?
The small spoon measures from 0.6 ml to 5 ml (1/8 tsp to 1 tsp). The large spoon measures from 5 ml to 15 ml (1 tsp to 1 tbsp).
Can these be used in a dishwasher?
Hand washing is strongly recommended. Dishwasher use may damage the sliding mechanism due to high heat and harsh detergents.
How do I ensure an accurate measurement with the sliding spoon?
Ensure the slider is set precisely to the desired marking. For dry ingredients, level off the top with a straight edge for maximum accuracy.
Are these spoons suitable for thick ingredients like peanut butter?
While they can measure thick ingredients, ensure the slider moves freely. Cleaning immediately after use is important to prevent sticking.
What is the length of each spoon?
The small spoon is approximately 15.2cm long, and the large spoon is approximately 15.8cm long.
Does the set come with individual measuring spoons?
No, this set includes two sliding spoons that cover a range of measurements, designed to replace multiple individual spoons.
Troubleshooting
Slider is stiff or stuck
Ensure no dried food residue is present. Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. If still stiff, apply a tiny drop of food-grade mineral oil to the track and work the slider back and forth.
Inaccurate measurements
Ensure the slider is fully extended or retracted to the desired mark. For best results, level off dry ingredients with a straight edge.
Difficult to clean thoroughly
Use a small cleaning brush (like a pipe cleaner or toothbrush) to reach into the slider mechanism and track. Rinse immediately after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply remove the spoons from their packaging and they are ready for immediate use.

Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the sliding mechanism. Use warm, soapy water and a soft brush or cloth to gently clean around the slider and internal track.
