Hiware Teaspoons, Set of 12

When you’re ready to dive into that mouth-watering milkshake or stir that refreshing glass of ice tea on a hot summer day, you need the right set of spoons. Dessert spoons are specifically designed for this task, and as you shop for the best model, you’ll want to keep the following information in mind.

Choose a set of dessert spoons that goes well with the flatware you already own. The Cand Dessert Spoons, Set of 16 is made of stainless steel and has an attractive mirrored surface that matches most fork, spoon and knife sets.

Check the sturdiness of the dessert spoon. You don’t want a spoon that will bend when you apply just a little bit of pressure. For example, the M MCIRCO Long Dessert Spoon, Set of 8 is strong and durable. It’s also polished to remove any rough spots that could cause potential cuts.

Place the dessert spoon in your hand to see whether the handle is comfortable to hold or not. The Hiware Teaspoons, Set of 12 has a teardrop-shaped handle that provides the grip you need without leaving your hands feeling tired, especially when you’re using it for an extended period of time.

Finally, consider the length of the spoon. Most dessert spoons range from 6 to 9 inches in length. The models with longer handles, like the Hiware Iced Tea & Dessert Spoons, Set of 4, are needed if you intend on using them in tall glasses, such as milkshake and tea glasses.

• Always check the product care label to determine the best way to clean your dessert spoons. Some are advertised as dishwasher-safe, while others can only be used in the dishwasher without harsh detergents. You may find it best to simply handwash the spoons.
• Dessert spoons that are on the thinner side become uncomfortable to hold after a few minutes. You’ll want thicker spoons for desserts, like milkshakes, that take a bit longer to fully consume.
• Once your spoons have outlived their usefulness in feeding your family, you can re-purpose them in a variety of craft projects. You can flatten the spoons and use them to create bookmarks, pendants and bracelets. To flatten the spoon, place it in between the fabric of an old t-shirt and hit it carefully with a sledgehammer. You’ll need to flip and hammer the spoon a few times, but in less than 60 seconds, the dessert spoon will be fully ready for use in your desired craft.
• As you browse the price tags on dessert spoons, you’ll notice the cost is directly tied to how many spoons you get in each set. You can expect the Hiware Iced Tea & Dessert Spoons, Set of 4 to cost less than the M MCIRCO Long Dessert Spoon, Set of 8. The same applies to larger sets. The Hiware Teaspoons, Set of 12 is cheaper than the Cand Dessert Spoons, Set of 16, as it has four fewer spoons.
