**Question:** Which toddler spoons and forks scoop food well?

**Short answer:** Munchkin Raise Fork and Spoon Set has the best record for scooping: 12 of 12 parents said it picked up food well, though that is a small group. Olababy Silicone Training Spoon Set follows at 10 of 11, and NUK for Nature Dipper Spoon & Fork Set has the weakest record here at 4 of 10. Just three sets cleared the bar to be ranked here, so this is a short list.

**What stands out:** Scooping is where NUK stumbles: 33% of its reviews say it doesn't scoop or pierce, and 24% say it's hard to clean. Neither of the other two sets drew a complaint from more than one parent.
