The magnetic design is what makes these so much better than measuring spoons on a ring. They stay neatly together but pull apart individually when you need one, and the narrow ends are great for fitting into spice jars.

I love this little measuring cup for small amounts when a full-size measuring cup is just overkill. The measurements are easy to see, the pour spout helps with messes, and it’s pretty enough to leave out.
