Did you know there are over 60 different types of spoons for each particular kind of food? If you’re meticulous about table manners and place settings, you’ll certainly know most of them. There are specific designs for starters, a different kind for salads, and a whole range of unique desserts styles. There’s also a multitude designed for specific foods we may not even realize exist!
Luckily, most people only use a few versatile types regularly. So we offer a wide selection of affordable, high-quality classic items and sets to mix and match. For experts, we sell everything from egg spoons to long-handled ice cream spoons and everything in-between!
Serving Spoons
We use this kind of cutlery item to scoop food from a serving dish onto individual plates. They are significantly larger, with long handles and deep bowls to serve generous portions.
Dinner Spoons
These are the most widely used as they are multipurpose pieces on any table. Usually medium-sized, they have an oval shape and a flatter design for eating and serving.
Soup Spoons
Designed especially for soups, these come in different sizes, handy for stews, pasta, and even cereal. They have a relatively deep bowl that can be either circular or flat bottomed.
Dessert Spoons
Although you can dig into your dessert with anything, these are specifically for sweets. Similar in size to those used for soup, they have an oval or gently pointed bowl, allowing a healthy portion.
Teaspoons & Coffee Spoons
These small-sized items come in a myriad of designs and sizes designed for stirring beverages. From cappuccinos to breakfast or iced tea, there are sizes and styles to suit every drink.
While spoons and their sizes might be confusing, you’ll find everything you need when you buy online from Royal Design. Most cutlery is made from metal, so we offer both stainless steel spoons and beautiful silver spoons for those special occasions. With a huge range of retailers, there’s a choice for every food and event. So, if you’ve been eating ice cream with a soup spoon and stirring your latte with a grapefruit spoon, now’s the time to stock up!
