Using a sugar spoon for your matzo ball soup? We don\u2019t think so. The right utensil can make or break your meal. That\u2019s why we set out to find the absolute best spoons on the market right now. Whether you want to upgrade your set from college (trust us, it\u2019s time) or add to your wedding registry, we tested and ranked 100 spoons so you can find your ideal option for every meal and drink. We\u2019re sharing more on our testing process and methodology, below, followed by our ranking of all 100 spoons in order from our least favorite to our top contender.<\/p>\n

How we chose our contenders<\/h2>\n

Before testing, we scoured the internet for spoons. Soup spoons, dessert spoons, spoons with cute little handles \u2014\u00a0you name it, we found it. We made sure to find options with different price points from big retailers, in-house brands and everything in between. <\/p>\n

What we considered<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/picture>
Kara Birnbaum \/ NBC News<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While our team\u2019s individual spoon preferences are not all the same, we asked each of our testers to consider the same five points when evaluating for consistency\u2019s sake. Each spoon could earn a maximum of two points, per category, as noted below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Size and weight: <\/strong>How heavy is the spoon to hold and use? How does it feel in your hand size-wise?\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • Silver and metal finish: <\/strong>How shiny, matte, chipped or colored was it? Did it maintain its finish after eating and cleaning?<\/li>\n
  • Feel: <\/strong>How does the curvature of the spoon feel to slurp? Do the curves hit your cheeks and lips in the right place? Is it a good vessel for the food or drinks you\u2019re using it for?<\/li>\n
  • Physical design and ergonomics: <\/strong>Does the handle have embellishments, lacquered handles or specific elements that impact how you use the spoon? Would you be happy or proud to display these spoons in front of guests?\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • Temperature regulation: <\/strong>Does the spoon absorb the temperature of whatever you are eating\/using? Does it get too hot when left sitting in a bowl of soup? Does it turn cold in a cup of iced coffee or smoothie bowl? <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Methodology<\/h2>\n

    To make sure we could tell the spoons apart once we removed their packaging, we assigned each one a number and a color. From there, we color-coded the tip of the handle with nail polish, and wrote each spoon\u2019s designated number with a sharpie over the color swatch. This ensured we would not mix up the spoons and could identify them during testing and photography sessions \u2014 and that the number wouldn\u2019t wash away during the cleaning process.<\/p>\n

    \"Our<\/picture>
    Our staff considered the size and shape of the bowl along with handle lengths during feedback rounds.<\/span>Olivia Ott \/ NBC News<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    We then set up a two-part testing process: an hours-long session in our HQ in New York, where our team tried all 100 spoons at least three times, followed by an at-home portion a week later. Prior to testing, we hand-washed each spoon with soap and a sponge. For the in-office session, we had macaroni and cheese, various kinds of cereal and milk, yogurt and granola, different flavors and brands of ice cream (with hot fudge), acai bowls, soup and soup dumplings, and mini pancakes on hand to eat. Each team member was assigned one of the foods above for their entire testing session to stay consistent and minimize extraneous factors that could impact scoring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/picture>
    Kara Birnbaum \/ NBC News<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    We also asked our editors to leave comments and a review for each utensil as they used them. After the three rounds were complete, we washed all of the spoons to prepare for the at-home testing portion the following week. (We hand-washed some spoons, while others went in the dishwasher.)<\/p>\n

    In the week following our in-office test, we added all of the scores up to get an initial ranking of our top 100. From there, we moved the top 20 spoons forward into the second round of testing, which took place at our team\u2019s homes. Each tester was given four to five spoons from the top 20 to use in their natural habitats for a week. (Each spoon was tried by at least three editors.) We used the same categories and ranking system as mentioned above, although this time we encouraged our editors to use the spoons as they would naturally in their real life and to consume whatever foods and drinks they wanted. Each editor was required to score each spoon and provide feedback, noting whether they hand-washed or machine-washed their spoons, what they ate and their overall experience using the utensil.<\/p>\n

    We then re-ranked our top 20 based on the second round of scores, and adjusted placement based on comments, feedback and their initial ranking during the first round of testing.<\/p>\n

    This spoon is on the larger side, making it a great size for heartier foods. I primarily used it to eat soups, especially ones with a lot of meat and veggies. The base is flatter than others I\u2019ve tried \u2014 which is why it didn\u2019t rank higher on our list. However, it does have a\u00a0long stem, which makes it very easy to hold securely. I found the flatter base worked well with foods like yogurt and ice cream. – Mili Godio<\/em><\/strong>, updates editor<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s hard to find a \u201cfor everything\u201d spoon, but this one is pretty close. The head has enough depth, width and length to work for basically anything: I ate snacks, dinners and desserts with this spoon, and it never felt out of place. The textured hammered stem is nice to touch, and adds a little bit of grip \u2014 I never felt like this spoon was going to slip out of my fingers. If it was a little shorter and a little less wide, it would have been nearer the top of our list. – Harry Rabinowitz<\/em><\/strong>, reporter<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    This is a super basic medium to small sized spoon. There\u2019s no frills or special quantities or embellishments \u2014 it\u2019s something I imagine finding in someone\u2019s dorm room or first apartment. The spoon is very lightweight and thin (I was actually able to easily bend it), and it has a more matte finish that makes dirt and streaks quite visible. I ate everything from yogurt to chili with this spoon, and found it quite versatile. It\u2019s head isn\u2019t very deep though, so I did not love eating soup with it.\u00a0– Zoe Malin<\/em><\/strong>, associate updates editor<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    As a Korean-American myself, I am pretty used to seeing and using these types of spoons in restaurants or at home for mostly soup and rice. The reasoning behind the length of the spoon is that it helps to efficiently and more easily bring food to your mouth in an elegant way. When I used this spoon to eat both soup and rice, I enjoyed the smoothness of the handle and how I could get a hearty mouthful in one scoop without having to be so close to the hot food. It\u2019s great to have on hand for a soup experience, especially since shorter spoons may get hotter and require you to bring your face much closer to the steamy food. – Carolyn Chun<\/em><\/strong>, NBC Page<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    My other favorite soup spoons outranked this one, but out of the full list of 100, this definitely still earned its spot in the top 20. I think a long handle or stem is elegant to look at and hold in your hand, which this one achieves with grace. I didn\u2019t rank it higher solely because the spoon bowl was too shallow for my liking \u2014 I like the spoon bowl to hold more broth in each slurp. – Lauren Swanson, NBC Select editorial director<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    I never thought that I\u2019d be caught off-guard by a piece of cutlery, but this spoon somehow managed to do just that. Because of its sleek, shiny design, I was expecting something lightweight, but instead this spoon turned out to be a heavy-duty hitter \u2014 almost overly so. The bowl was thick enough to keep my piping hot Thai coconut soup from scalding my tongue, and has a good depth for gathering broth. However, the handle was somewhat awkward and uncomfortable to hold, and was so long that it felt like I was tipping the soup into my mouth, rather than my normal sipping. – Ashley Morris<\/em><\/strong>, associate SEO reporter<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    I love a short spoon, especially when I am eating something I would be embarrassed to accidentally spill on myself (which I do more often with long spoons). This short soup spoon is great for eating cereal, ice cream, popcorn (yes, I eat popcorn with a spoon sometimes), and, of course, soup. It strikes a great balance: the head is just deep enough to grab pieces of cereal or chunks of soup along with some liquid, but not so much that it\u2019s an overwhelming bite. It\u2019s a little indistinct, which is why it didn\u2019t rank higher, but the smooth design does make it easy to clean and easy to fit in the dishwasher. – Harry Rabinowitz, reporter<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    I felt fancy using this spoon. It stayed shiny through multiple washes and the handle looked very elegant. It\u2019s a little small, so I wouldn\u2019t use it for soup, and it\u2019s too long of a handle to use for ice cream or yogurt, but I loved it as a sugar spoon for my morning coffee.

    This spoon was on the heavier side, and felt very sturdy and durable. I loved the curvature at the end of the spoon and how it allows your thumb to fit right in the nook at the tip. The handle\u2019s also pleasantly smooth and didn\u2019t cut my fingers.

    Simply put, I love how fancy I felt using this dainty little spoon. It\u2019s definitely one of the sleekest, most attractive spoons I\u2019ve ever used. The curve is seamless and delicate \u2014 it has a long, yet slim design with a subtle swoop shape that doesn\u2019t leave any harsh, rounded lines where the base meets the stem. The thin design makes it great for stirring matcha lattes and teas, and the long stem was a nice change from the shorter, smaller tea spoons that simply don\u2019t fit my larger mugs and coffee cups.

    To me, a good spoon is versatile enough to use every day as well as\u00a0 less than common, special situations alike. The vintage-inspired spoon\u00a0 is an eye-catcher, and the weight is well suited for casual use as well. Its only downside is the quality of the metal itself. The spoon is very malleable, and runs the risk of bending relatively easily. – Ari Night, editorial assistant<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    If a party met a spoon, it would be this. With its colorful resin handle (there are 10+ color options to pick from), its design pops against all the plain flatware I own. It also provides a nice grip and never felt like it would slip out my hands while eating. This spoon also falls on the smaller side since it is made specifically for desserts, though I was still able to get the perfect amount of ice cream in just one scoop. – Bianca Alvarez<\/em><\/strong>, associate reporter<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    I\u2019m not usually one for big spoons, especially for soups and stews. Usually, they make me feel like my mouth is opening wide enough for an entire table to see me swallowing my food \u2014 this, however, was a surprising exception. The hammered handle was thick enough that the spoon felt supported in my hand, but not so much that I noticed the heaviness while eating. Although the bowl of the spoon was big, it turned out to be a great match for eating soup \u2014 it managed to hold a lot of broth (which, for me, is the perfect amount) without feeling oversized inside of my mouth. – Ashley Morris, associate SEO reporter<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    In my experience, this spoon has the perfect shape \u2014 it has a nice, deep curve downward where the base meets the stem, which makes it comfortable to use and allows food to travel securely without falling, like it might with a flatter spoon. This is also on the shorter side and it\u2019s fairly small, so I found it good to use with desserts like ice cream or to stir my coffee, though I would stay away from soups or because it\u2019s too small to hold much liquid. – Mili Godio, updates editor<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Of the spoons that I tested, this one felt just right: it was heavy and substantial, but not overly so. The handle felt comfortable in my hand \u2014 very smooth and intentional. And, as someone who is very particular about the spoons that I use for different types of food, I thought this one was great for scrapping those tricky corners in the bottom of a yogurt cup, thanks to the slenderly angled bowl tip of the spoon. – Lauren Swanson, editorial director<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    I would be proud to place this spoon on my Thanksgiving dinner table. It\u2019s large but not intimidating, has a deep, oval-shaped head that you can get a nice scoop of soup, mashed potatoes or cranberry sauce on. It\u2019s one of the heaviest options I tried, and I prefer a heavy spoon. The handle tip is rounded instead of flat \u2014 its shape reminds me of a pencil \u2014 and I find it easy to keep a tight grip on. It\u2019s also super shiny. It comes out of the dishwasher good as new, and looked perfectly clean when I hand-washed it as well. – Zoe Malin, associate updates editor<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    One of the standout qualities about this spoon is its weight. Because it\u2019s a small teaspoon, I\u2019d expect it to be light and flimsy when I pick it up, but it has some heaviness to it, which I prefer. The back of the spoon\u2019s handle is angled upward, helping it naturally rest and balance well in your hand. Because of its small size, I liked using this for stirring milk into my coffee and honey into my tea. It also fits inside a single-serve cup of yogurt, although I find its head a bit too narrow to get a satisfying scoop of other foods on. – Zoe Malin, associate updates editor<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    I truly never thought I needed a soup spoon until I tried this. The handle has\u00a0 a luxurious feel; it\u2019s sleek, clean and shiny \u2014 what more could you want in a design? My greatest love for the spoon, however, lies in its shallow, but very wide bowl. You\u2019re able to scoop up\u00a0a ton of whatever you\u2019re eating in one bite. – Bianca Alvarez<\/em><\/strong>, associate reporter<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    The perfect spoon exists and her name is the Hay Sunday Spoon. Not only is it the type of spoon you can use on an everyday basis, but it\u2019s the kind of spoon you want<\/em> to show off during a special birthday meal or Thanksgiving dinner. Its soft, mini vertical ridges extend from the neck of the spoon up to the tip along the backside of the handle\u2019s stem, which add an elegant touch to such a simple kitchen staple.<\/p>\n

    This spoon, unlike so many other models we tried, hits that sweet spot when it comes to size and shape. The bowl has Goldilocks proportions \u2014 it\u2019s not too rounded, nor too oval \u2014 the curves glide\u00a0smoothly over the corners of my mouth and lips.<\/p>\n

    Its greatest asset, though, is its weight. I, alongside many of our testers, prefer a heavier spoon \u2014 one you can\u2019t accidentally bend or break, one that feels like it was actually worth its cost, which this one does. Some spoons we tested felt hollow and almost child-like, this one feels substantial all the way from tip to bowl. – Lindsay Schneider, NBC Select commerce editor<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
