Measuring spoons that will stick to a magnet?

I am looking for measuring spoons that will stick to a magnetic knife bar. I have 3 sets and although they are all metal, none will stick to a magnet bar. I would prefer ones that do not have magnets embedded into them, but rather are made of a metal that itself will stick to a magnet. I'd appreciate any suggestions! Thanks.

    I have found what you are looking for:

    Tried them out today at TJ Maxx and they are very magnetic...and was $6. Although...the spice measures look even nicer....

      Any set made of poor quality stainless should stick, but then you run the risk of rusting.

        I was going to dispute that, since most knives are magnetic. But I checked an old set of stamped steel spoons (shallow bowls) , and found that they are magnetic. I have a better set with deeper bowls, that is not magnetic.

        The cheap ones are probably Ekco grocery store ones. I haven't had rust problems with these, but I don't think they are as accurate.

        I have this set of cups I wonder if they have companion spoons-- they are black, non-stick surface, and DO stick to magnets. But I see no name on them, and don't remember where I got them. Maybe someone will recognize.

          I assume most measuring spoon sets come with hoops.

            It's just that I am hoping to stick them individually to a magnetic knife rack. : )

            At first glance at reading the title I was wondering if you were looking for induction-capable measuring spoons. :P

            Not all stainless is magnetic, there are a lot of different flavors with different properties. Your best bet will be to go into bed bath and beyond, or any place that has a good selection of measuring cups, and bring a magnet.

            A friend had a magnetic section on their fridge and they kept their measuring spoons there in a similar fashion, I believe they were CIA spoons/cups
