Different sizes of measuring spoon that is not the same function

There is no industry standard anywhere of what gets included in a set of measuring spoons -- it will vary by manufacturer. Standard sizes are 1/8 teaspoon, 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon. Cheaper sets will omit the 1/8 teaspoon. Odd-size (but still useful) ones are 1/2 tablespoon, 2 teaspoons, 1 1/2 tablespoons and 2 tablespoons. Some manufacturers make only the standard-sized sets, some sell the standard and odd-size sets separately, some include some or all of the odd-sized ones in their standard sets. Occasionally you'll see 1/16 teaspoon (pinch), 1/3 teaspoon, 2/3 teaspoon , 1 1/2 teaspoon sizes and 1/2 tablespoon. It is very hard to find 1/3 teaspoon measures, even though there are thousands of recipes calling for 1/3 teaspoon of things. When confronted with this, it's best to use a heaping 1/4 teaspoon.

Most people recommend having two sets of measuring spoons. If the 1 teaspoon from one set has just had butter on it, you don't have to stop everything to wash it to measure a 1 teaspoon of sugar.
