I forget how many I have. I pick up those sets at the dollar store
occasionally, and keep little stacks of them in a drawer near my prep
areas. I have gotten into the habit of doing the mise en place thing,
and they come in really handy for this. I have several sizes.

I see no difference from them and the ones at the cooking stores,
except for the price tags.
