Does the label on the spoons eventually wear off? I'm tossing two sets because the labeling has rubbed away and my kids can't read them.

They have a coloured set if you are worried about this. Each size is a different colour. I have those & I don't even need to read the spoons just grab the right colour.

I have owned these since Nov 2012, and none of the labels have worn off. I put them in the dishwasher 99% of the time.

everything printed on kitchen utensils wears off eventually. that said, we've had these spoons for several months, baking at least twice a week (therefore washing them twice a week with sponge and dishwasher) and there are no signs of fading yet. hope this helps!

I don't put them in the dishwasher . Still good enough. It looks like printed on it.

My set is fairly new, so no, it hasn't rubbed off. I know putting things in the dishwasher can eventually erode lettering, it has happened to my plastic measuring cups. With these spoons, I actually hand wash them and put them back up on my magnet strip. Just a thought, could you apply clear polish over the lettering perhaps, and maybe take to hand washing them if you don't already? Good luck!

I have not intentionally peeled a label off but the label on my daughter's school cup finally came off after several months of washing several times weekly. It didn't damage it or leave any sticky residue.

I've had these spoons for a couple months now and use them everyday and put them in the dishwasher. I have yet to apply oil to them, and they are still in great shape. The color hasn't faded whatsoever. Eventually I'm sure I'll apply oil, but it hasn't seemed necessary yet.

No. I have had my set over 3 years with no problems...they look like new. I recently added a second set and you can't even notice the difference between the two sets. I use mine everyday and and they go through the dishwasher many times a week.

I have had mine for 2 years and the writing has rubbed off, but not in enough places that I can't tell what they are. You could always go back over it with a sharpie. Mine are always hand washed, so I have never had any melting issues. I love these measuring spoons though and actually just purchased a set for my mom.

I've had mine for about 2 months. All of the print is still there, so far, but I also hand wash it immediately after use. I could see how the print could rub away, but, as with anything, if you care for it carefully, then it will last much longer. (I was actually concerned about this issue before buying since I saw some of the reviews saying that these measuring cups were losing the printing on them.)

My wife will not wash pans by hand. She told me staight up when I bought them that they were going into the dishwasher. After about a year of use and dishwasher washing they are still doing fine. My children also use them a lot and careless use of metal utensils has led to some light scratches in the most frequently used pans, but they still don't stick, and I haven't noticed much difference in performance due to the dishwasher. Still - one would expect longer life if you was them by hand. There is some change in color in the stainless base but it doesn't effect cooking performance. (I tried to get the kids to wash them by hand, but if mom won't...)

I through out the packaging so I'm not sure. And it does not say anywhere on the spoons. Sorry!

I have never noticed any rusting. I have had a set for probably over 10 years and just bought a smaller set because my kids have lost some spoons!

I have not purchased this brand yet, I'm about to. But, I have used the same/similar before. I see a lot of you commenting that the numbers wear off. If you have a standard dose that you use, you can mark where it is with a sharpie before it disappears. That lasts long after the other wears off. Just a suggestion.

I've had mine for 16 years! I cook every day and I've never put them in the dishwasher. I am now looking for a replacement. The coating disappeared from the bottom of my favorite used ones..probably had something stick and left on for too many days (scrubbed the heck out of it).... the coating wore out in about 10 years (but I still use.) Still cooks great, but I want some new ones for the non-stick coating.

You're right, it does look like a bug and the spoon looks cracked. But it can't crack, it's stainless steel. I guess it could scratch - however, I think they accidentally took a picture of a dirty spoon. I bought them and I love them. They're the only spoon set I have that comes out of the dishwasher perfectly spotless, and we have really hard water where I live in the mountains.

The green spoons are only slightly more difficult to read. After numerous uses and put in dishwasher, the writing has not worn off.

Hi Cinthya! You can actually remove the labels from the jars before washing them, and then re-stick them again once the jars are dry. :-)

I have reused the labels repeatedly without taking them off, but when I have taken them off, I have had no trouble with removal or sticky residue. I have had mine for 2 or 3 years and am still able to erase and reuse them. Good luck, I think you will be happy with them!

My son started nursery school in September of 2014-----its almost August of 2015 and all labels on bottles that are washed all the time and snack containers have stayed put. They are awesome labels. Still look brand new.

Nope, haven't noticed! We've had them since about the end of January. We have 4 in total (of the different designs) and we all use them in varying amounts. No problem even after several days of non-use. And two of us are pretty picky with our tastebuds!
