Measuring spoons

[Pyramid_Party]

Hi,

Awhile back I ordered these spoons to use for my dry ferts in my planted tanks http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330454356624&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I have yet to receive them in the mail. Long story short the post office lost or stole it and been playing games with me for a month and a half. I been using liquid fertilizer but I have not yet got a chance to use my dry ferts. Here's the deal, I am going to just re-buy the spoons. But I do not want to wait and go through the hassle of ordering online. Is there a store I could find these at that I could drive to? Thanks

you should be able to find those at any type of cooking depot store. Hell, Ikea might even have those.

Think bed bath and beyond might have them?

just as likely. they are not uncommon. I think i have a set in a drawer at home somewhere lol.

I've seen them at the doller store, man you need to get out more =P

I would bet walmart has them as well.

Try dollar stores first. They usually have a few sets. But why did you order spoons labeled with "tad", "dash" and "pinch"? Wouldn't you rather have a spoon tell you it's 1/4 tsp or something?

that's how they are commonly sold. a simple google search will tell what each name equals in fractions of a teaspoon. btw, these are pretty hard to find in stores. most will only carry the bigger sizes. for dosing, you need very small spoons like 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, etc. that's why we get them online.

It was unclear to me how miniscule those spoons are. They look like standard kitchen spoons from the pic.

What about a drug store or vitamin store where you buy powdered vitamins, etc.? Perhaps a science store. Yeah, any place that would sell a chemistry set for junior high-ers ought to sell those tiny portion spoons.

I have a set that my brother in law who is a professional chef in Buffalo, NY gave me. Just figured that if you were to look at that Restaurant Depot store you could find em.
