What do you think about a set of different-size spoons rather than 8 same-size spoons?

No, I like having eight of the same rather than six, and the bowl is a great size as well. I just didn't realize I should have ordered ones with shorter handles. That's just me; someone else might prefer the longer ones! I promise you they are working out fine for me - and really getting a workout this winter.

I chose to buy this set specifically because all of the spoons were the same size. My wife is ataxic, and needs to use spoons more than any other type of flatware. However because of her problem, we lose spoons down the garbage disposal a little too often. Having a set with different sized flatware would be of no use to me.

Don't really know how to answer that - it's just personal preference. I wouldn't mind a slight difference that you might find if you ordered 8 spoons with different patterns. These were really nice quality spoons that I ordered for my granddaughter's tea set. They were perfect.

I like the long ones better myself! I'm using the smaller ones now & I don't care that much for them. You may be different.

I'm sorry I don't have access to these utensils at the moment because I am out of state. I would have purchased it in the set to use in place of a large slotted spoon.

I do not think a regular spoon will work but perhaps a demitasse spoon will work.

You could use the spoons without taking them off the ring, but it is much easier if you use them individually.

I'd love to know this, too! I own these--and they are a bit different from another pair of measuring spoons I have. No idea which is more accurate!

The 3 rectangular ones are 9.5 long x 2 wide x 1.75 deep. The long rectangular one is 14 long x 2 x 1.75. The small horizontal one is 6.5 x 4.5 x 1.75 and the long horizontal one is 8 in long and adjusts to about 5 in . I keep my knives in the long rectangle and everything else fits in the remaining places. I have two of these because I have a wide drawer and I have salad/dessert forks and soup spoons and steak knives and iced tea spoons and serving spoons in addition to the standard knife, fork and spoons. I think the quality of this item is good and sturdy. I'm very pleased with the look and capacity. The 3 rectangular ones are 9.5 long x 2 wide x 1.75 deep.

Hello Mr Flemming,I am assuming you mean the 2 place setting spoons of which you receive 12 each. The place or soup spoon is about 1.5" wide and the tea spoon is adjust over 1.25" wide.These are very standard sizes but I do know what you mean. If you have additional questions, we are happy to answer them.MarkWilliam Glen

Not unless you're a lot more coordinated than I am! Perhaps you could "scoop" with just one. That said, I REALLY like them for mixing and serving.

I think they should work fine. You wouldn't want a larger spoon for a small mouth. Possibly a deeper spoon would be helpful, if one is made.

No, in fact I would think the 7 qt would be perfect. Think of it this way: you can always make a lesser amount of food in a larger pot. If you don't have a larger pot, it would be really difficult to make enough for leftovers, guests, a whole chicken, etc, etc. I wouldn't trade my 8 qt for anything, and we've been empty nesters for 6 years now. I make everything in it.

I did some research and found that you will likely not be able to get the same spoons. Progressive does sell other measuring spoons, but it may be more cost-effective to buy a new set.

Well, that is kind of a subjective question...at least for me. The size is enough so you can recognize them as salad forks, still enough so you "could" use them for any part of a meal. To me, this set is as near perfect as I could get. I like every detail about the set.

No. I have service for 8 w/reg. knives, individual butter knives (no place for 4 of them), reg. spoon, soup spool, tea spoon, dinner forks, and salad forks. No space for extra serving pieces. I've made it work but periodically have to polish a piece or two. I would buy it again.

The bowl of these spoons does seem generous in size. It may or may not be an optical illusion caused by the sheen of the item, or the heaviness of it's steel.

There are little spoons in this pattern, but they have been out of stock forever. Even on the manufacturer website. I hope they get them back in eventually, it's the only thing I need to complete my set.

Sorry peter I dont know. I use the spoons to add small amounts of powders to a digital scale for making my own capsules. The small size of the spoon makes it idea when working with quantities less than a gram.
