Measure for Measure: Measuring Spoons
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009You know what drives me crazy? Measuring spices into a spoon by shaking the spice can over the spoon. Not only can it be seemingly time consuming (shake shake shake..look at spoon…shakeshakeshake..look at spoon), but more often then not my impatience wins out and I end up opening the wide end of the bottle, shaking it - and dumping nutmeg all over the counter. Blerg!
That’s why I love these measuring spoons. These measuring spoons are dual sided - with the traditional round side for liquid measurements, and a more rectangular side for dry ingredients. This rectangular side is a blessed feature - because it’s more streamlined, it fits inside most spice jars! Plus, these spoons have flat bottoms, so they can rest on your countertop.
Okay - and here’s the cool thing about them. If you’re one of those super cool people who have a magnetic knife rack (I’m just too clumsy and flailing for such things) these measuring spoons are magnetic - so you can just stick them up there. Way cool. It’s like something Alton Brown would have in his kitchen.
Even if you don’t have a magnetic knife rack, these spoons would still stick to a metal spice rack. It can be your centralized spice system!
