Best Magnetic Measuring Spoons: What to Look For

The best magnetic measuring spoons for you are the ones that make your usual recipes easy to measure: look for the sizes you reach for most, markings you can read quickly, and bowls that fit into your spice jars. Magnetic storage is useful when you want the spoons to stay together in a drawer, but it should not matter more than a comfortable shape and a clear measurement.

Start with the measurements your recipes call for, especially if you regularly switch between teaspoons and tablespoons, and consider whether you need smaller increments for spices. If you scoop from narrow containers, a slim spoon bowl may be more practical than a wide one; if you often measure liquids, choose a shape you can carry steadily without spilling.

Stainless steel is a sensible choice if you prefer a metal spoon for everyday dry and wet ingredients, though the finish and shape still affect how pleasant a set is to use and clean. Our 7-Piece Magnetic Stainless Steel Measuring Spoon Set guide is a starting point if you’re considering that combination of material, set size, and magnetic storage.

For dry ingredients, fill the spoon and level it with a straight edge when the recipe calls for a level measure; avoid packing an ingredient unless the recipe specifically says to do so. Wash away sticky residue, dry the spoons before putting them away, and keep the measurement markings readable so you can select the right size each time.
