What a great idea - thank you KAF for your generosity and support! My question is about the cookie scoops - why on earth does a teaspoon scoop hold 2 teaspoons, a tablespoon scoop hold 4 teaspoons? I have several scoops with no numbers or markings on them but I know which one I like for cookies or for muffins or for meatballs. Is there a standardization anywhere to use as a guide? It would be nice when writing a recipe to say "use a #10 scoop..." Thanks for the great blog and all of KAF great services and products! The scoops mimic, in size, the amount of dough one would use back when "drop dough by the tablespoon" actually meant a soup spoon, and a teaspoon was a regular eating spoon. Those traditional sizes don't equal a measuring teaspoon or measuring tablespoon, and we didn't want to confuse people. Their foodservice numbers (imprinted on the scoops) are 16 (muffin), 40 (tablespoon), and 100 (teaspoon). Hope this helps - PJH
