Our Experience 

First things first, this spoon scale has a sturdy construction. It did not bend at any point during our review process. Coming to the design, the long handle adds a lot of convenience and comfort while using. 

The spoon area is large, deep, and well-rounded. It makes the process of scooping out dals and masalas easy. For cleaning this device, we used a wet cloth and then immediately dried it using a dry cloth.
