Yes, these Special Spoons look like they’re children’s toys – the kind little girls will pretend to use to eat and prepare food when they’re playing house with the rest of their friends. Except, these are actually meant to be functional kitchen cutlery, each one imbued with a very specific function.

Designed by Ineke Hans for Dutch brand Royal VKB, the cutlery set contains different kinds of implement on the ends of each handle, making them more convenient alternatives to traditional spoons and forks for a variety of uses. Yes, they’re absolutely unnecessary, but, you have to admit, unique cutlery always makes from a fun tool in the kitchen.

The Special Spoons is a set of five different utensils packaged as a flat kit that you can twist off from its frame, similar to plastic toys. One has a small rectangular scoop for chili-based paste and sauces; there’s a larger rectangular scoop for pates; another is a two-pronged fork for picking up bottled pickles; one has perforations on the scoop so liquids can fall right off, after scooping up an olive; and the last has a deeper bowl for taking large scoops of jams and spreads.

According to Hans, these designs aren’t exactly new, as they are based on old utensils that, somehow, disappeared over the passing of time. Each one is constructed from hard plastic, with a handle that’s optimized for balancing on jar rims. It comes in four colors: yellow, purple, red, and black.
