Measuring Spoon Set
A measuring spoon set is a collection of spoons used to measure volume, primarily for cooking and baking. These sets are essential for accurate ingredient proportions in recipes.
Material
- Stainless Steel: The most common material, valued for its durability, resistance to rust and corrosion, and ease of cleaning. Often dishwasher safe.
- Plastic: Lighter and less expensive than stainless steel. May stain or absorb odors over time. Quality varies significantly; higher-quality plastics are BPA-free.
- Silicone: Heat-resistant and flexible, making them suitable for stirring directly in hot pans. Often used as over-molds on stainless steel handles for better grip.
- Ceramic: Less common, often used for decorative sets. Can be fragile.
Purpose
The primary purpose of a measuring spoon set is to provide precise volume measurements of both liquid and dry ingredients. Accurate measurement is critical for consistent recipe results, particularly in baking where ratios are important.
Function
Each spoon in a set represents a specific volume. Common spoon sizes include:
- 1 Tablespoon (tbsp / 15 ml)
- 1/2 Tablespoon (1/2 tbsp / 7.5 ml)
- 1 teaspoon (tsp / 5 ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 tsp / 2.5 ml)
- 1/4 teaspoon (1/4 tsp / 1.25 ml)
- 1/8 teaspoon (1/8 tsp / 0.625 ml)
- Some sets may also include a 1/6 teaspoon or a double tablespoon.
Usage Scenarios
- Baking: Essential for measuring flour, sugar, baking powder, extracts, and other ingredients.
- Cooking: Used for measuring spices, herbs, oils, and liquids in both savory and sweet dishes.
- Beverage Preparation: Measuring coffee grounds, tea leaves, or ingredients for cocktails.
- Pharmaceutical/Scientific Applications: (Less common, specialized sets) Precise measurements for compounding or mixing.
Common Types/Features
- Nesting Sets: Spoons are designed to fit inside each other for compact storage.
- Magnetic Sets: Spoons connect magnetically for easy organization and storage.
- Adjustable Sets: A single spoon with a sliding mechanism to adjust the volume.
- Leveling Edge: A flat edge on the spoon handle for leveling off dry ingredients.
- Conversion Charts: Some sets include charts listing equivalent measurements for different ingredients.
- Dual-Sided Spoons: Spoons with measurements in both metric (ml) and imperial (tsp/tbsp) units.
Measuring spoon sets fall under several potential classifications based on their material. Here's a breakdown of relevant HS codes based on the provided information:
- 7324900000: This code covers spoons, forks, knives, tea-spoons, dessert-spoons, gravy-spoons, soup-spoons and similar kitchen or table utensils, of base metal. If the measuring spoon set is made of base metal (e.g., stainless steel), this is a likely classification. The total tax rate is 80.0%, comprised of a 0.0% basic tariff and a 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, with a note that steel and aluminum products are subject to the 25% additional tariff.
- 3924101000: If the measuring spoon set is made of plastics, and specifically categorized as salt, pepper, mustard and ketchup dispensers and similar dispensers, this code applies. The total tax rate is 33.4%, consisting of a 3.4% basic tariff and a 0.0% additional tariff, rising to 30.0% after April 2, 2025.
- 3924102000: Also for plastic measuring spoon sets, this code covers tableware and kitchenware including plates, cups, saucers, soup bowls, cereal bowls, sugar bowls, creamers, gravy boats, serving dishes and platters. The total tax rate is 44.0%, with a 6.5% basic tariff and a 7.5% additional tariff, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025.
- 7323995030: If the measuring spoon set is made of iron or steel and is kitchen or tableware suitable for food or drink contact, this code may be applicable. The total tax rate is 55.0%, with a 0.0% basic tariff and a 0.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, and subject to a 25% additional tariff for steel and aluminum products.
Important Considerations:
- Material Verification: For codes 7324900000, 7323995030, the material composition of the measuring spoon set is critical. Documentation verifying the material (e.g., stainless steel certification) may be required.
- Additional Tariff (Steel/Aluminum): If the measuring spoon set is made of steel or aluminum, be aware of the 25% additional tariff applied to these materials under codes 7324900000 and 7323995030.
- Date-Specific Tariff Changes: The additional tariffs for several codes are scheduled to increase to 30.0% after April 2, 2025.
