what is the dark spots in the middle of the spoons?

There are no dark spots, nor are these open areas. It is just the lighting and the photography. The entire handle is solid, single color stainless.

I think you are referring to the way the light is shining in the picture shown. There are no dark spots in the middle of any of the utensils. This is just a reflection that you are seeing.

I've never seen that and I have two sets. Check with the company on that one.

Tyler, I found it on the plate where the stirrers plug into the mixer. In our case, its a black plastic strip. Hope this helps.

I can't tell what gauge they are. There are no marking on the spoons other than their size.

The scoop might be buried...I had to dig around with a long spoon to find it.

Mine has a dark non-stick coating. It is an excellent pizelle maker. Try some of the other recipes.

It must be a shadow in the picture they have used, because on my mug set which is hammered copper,the black mark (stripe) does not exist. I would ask amazon to clarify the mark before purchase.

I have cooked in mine several times and I have dark stains. I think it may be normal

It hasn't seemed to bother mine. I use a metal spoon all the time. These cups are wonderful and are very durable.

It is on the dark side but light enough that you see grain patterns. I have been using these frequently as trays for about a year and though there have been spills on them there are no stains. I'm very happy with them.

That's an interesting observation: The holes, (actually oblong slots), actually ARE in slightly different places. Although nice, substantial spoons, these are not a precision machined matching set. The oblong shaped hole allows for the spoons to "adjust" to each other. The spoons aren't totally flat against each other while hanging, but still nest nicely while hanging.

Yeppers!! I ordered this set a few months ago. It has both a spoon and fork.

It's sometimes a little buried in the powder. I don't know about using other brand spoons.

Hi, Not sure why the spoon looks like that. The spoons are beautiful. I love them and I am going to get more. I have purchased alot of spoons in the last 30 years and these are by far the best. You won't be sorry getting them, you will love themdee

Yes it does. Although the set looks very nice, the edges of the spoons are very sharp and had some uneven/sharp edges. I would not purchase them again.

Yes, a couple of my sauce pans have those spots too. I am wondering if the barkeepers maid may have something to do with it.
