Measuring Spoons - Individual or on a Ring?

[Gone Hiking]

Mrs. GH and I have two sets of measuring spoons in the drawer. I use the set on a ring, and she uses the magnetic set that comes apart into individual spoons. I like spoons to be on a ring, since if I have one, I have them all and they won't become scattered, nor can I misplace them. Mrs. GH doesn't like juggling them on a ring and prefers to be able to separate each one, even if that inevitably means that some wind up in the sink, some on the counter, and perhaps still another will be left in the drawer. This critical marital difference is what happens when you marry someone at the opposite corner of the Meyers-Briggs personality spectrum.

So what say ye CB members prefer?

I have two sets of these:

…and a ring set and a magnetic set. I use them all.

Mine snap together like Mrs. GH's. I'm too organized to misplace the ones I'm not using and only have to wash the one.

I have both. Its something that has bothered me for a while. If they are on a ring then you eiither have to detach the spoon to wash it or put the whole caboodle in the dishwasher. And what if you need both wet and dry ingredients of various spoon sizes? Very awkward and messy if they are all on a ring.

 

[Barriehie]

Yes.

 

[Z-Cook]

Yes. Yes
Two sets. Both came on rings and I took one set off the ring for exactly the reasons mentioned. Those live in a small measuring glass. I use them all the time and barely use the ones on the ring.

Mine are on a ring, almost exactly like yours. That way they don't get lost in the kitchen drawers. I cook loads of Indian food, which involves spices, and I frequently get things like "3 tsps (1 Tbsp) coriander; 1 tsp cumin; ½ tsp cardamom powder; 2 tsps cinnamon" etc. So much easier to have the measures all in the same place.

For years I used nothing, my kids laughed at me for not having measuring cups. So they went out and bought some.
I just have the ring now. But if not, I use actual teaspoon, and tablespoon, and of course just a regular cup.

On a ring as they get lost otherwise.
I don't use them often though.
Mostly, I eye ball (or weigh)
I got 2 sets

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Rings both sets.

Normal ¼ tsp through to Australian tablespoon (20ml) plus the tad, smidgen, pinch set as well.

I have two sets on rings. I combined them both because one had the odd measures, and the smidgen, pinch, dash.

Me too, I've done this enough that eyeballing a volume isn't a challenge...

 

[GadgetGuy]

I usually get them on a ring.

Lol, I thought you were joking about those tad, pinch, smidgen spoons! I guess you'd need cups for heaps and gobs.
