PJH - I was confused by your comment on the #40 cookie scoop. I thought that the number on the scoop indicated how many scoops it would take to fill a quart. If that is true, then I was thinking that a #64 scoop would be a tablespoon, since 4 tbsp equal a quarter cup, then there would be 16 in a cup, then that would make 64 in a quart. Is the scoop (catalogue #5639) really a tablespoon or is it a number 40. I already have a #60 scoop and am looking for larger sizes. Can you tell me where I am jistaken? Also, can you tell me what size the jumbo scoop (catalogue number 5605) would be? Hi Deb - You're right. Our catalogue cookie scoops are sized for the traditional "teaspoons" and "tablespoons" people used to use to drop cookies onto cookie sheets — which are actually more than the exact measurements we now use. So yes, our tablespoon cookie scoop holds about 4 teaspoons, and the teaspoon scoop holds about 1 3/4 teaspoons. That would be level scoops; since you usually heap them up a bit, each one would be closer to 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons, respectively. The jumbo scoop is about 3 tablespoons, size #30. Hope this helps- PJH
