Stainless Steel Dessert Spoon Set, 4 or 7 Piece

Dessert spoons sit between a teaspoon and a tablespoon, and most flatware sets skip them entirely. This stainless steel dessert spoon set fills the gap in four or seven pieces, in black, gold, rose gold, and mirror silver, so a bowl of ice cream, a ramekin of pudding, or a slice of cake gets the right tool instead of the nearest soup spoon.

The bowl is oval and shallower than a soup spoon, which is what lets it cut cleanly through cake, tart, and soft-set desserts rather than crushing them. Handle length is set for a dessert bowl or a coupe glass, and the balance keeps the spoon from tipping when it is left resting in a dish. The colored finish runs the full length of each piece, across the bowl as well as the handle.

Stainless steel takes acid from citrus desserts and fruit without staining or leaving a metallic edge on the flavor. Hand wash with a soft cloth and dry to keep the plated colors deep and consistent; skip abrasive pads and extended soaking. The four-piece covers a small household, and the seven-piece is the one to take if you serve dessert to guests more than occasionally.
