FAQs
What are the exact capacities of the spoon?
The spoon has two sides: one measures 15ml (tablespoon) and the other measures 5ml (teaspoon).
What material is the measuring spoon made of?
The measuring spoon is made from Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic.
Can I store this spoon on a stainless steel refrigerator?
It depends on the specific stainless steel. Most stainless steel surfaces are not magnetic. It works best on ferrous metals like standard steel or iron.
How do I clean the measuring spoon?
The spoon is dishwasher safe. You can also wash it by hand with warm, soapy water.
Does the spoon come in other colors?
Yes, this model is available in black, and a white version (MPN: YA06923) is also offered by Yamazaki.
What are the dimensions of the measuring spoon?
The approximate dimensions are 3.5 cm in width, 22 cm in length, and 1.8 cm in height. It weighs about 20 grams.
Troubleshooting
Spoon does not stick to the metal surface.
Ensure the metal surface is clean and dry. Check if the surface is sufficiently magnetic. The magnet is located on the back of the handle.
Difficulty scooping ingredients.
The extended handle should provide ample reach. Ensure the spoon is held correctly and angled to scoop effectively from deep containers.
Stains or discoloration on the spoon.
While dishwasher safe, some strong-colored ingredients might cause temporary staining on ABS plastic. Wash immediately after use or use a mild baking soda paste to gently clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply remove the packaging. The spoon is ready for immediate use.
Compatibility: The magnetic feature is compatible with most standard metal surfaces, such as refrigerators, dishwashers, and metal range hoods. It is designed to hold securely but may not adhere to all metallic finishes or surfaces with non-uniform textures. The spoon itself is compatible with dry ingredients and liquids commonly used in cooking and baking.
Care:
- Dishwasher: This measuring spoon is dishwasher safe. For best results, place it on the top rack.
- Hand Wash: Alternatively, wash with warm water and mild soap. Use a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could scratch the plastic.
- Magnetic Surface: When attaching to a metal surface, ensure the surface is clean and dry for optimal magnetic adhesion. Periodically wipe the magnet and the surface it attaches to.
