I don’t are inclined to make product advice or write critiques. Aside from wildly common home equipment like the air fryer and Instant Pot, I attempt to encertain my recipes don’t hinge on anybody piece of kit, and my very own kitchen is stocked with issues I inherited, or bought at Goodwill or the restaurant supply store, often with out doing any analysis into the factor I used to be buying.
For some purpose, I like to deny myself issues that may make my life simpler—particularly if I have already got a shittier model of that factor. I hate my measuring spoons, which I’ve had for a lot of many years, but till simply now, I had’t changed them with spoons I knew would convey me pleasure, and make cooking extra gratifying.
However no extra.
You see, the entire measuring spoons at present in my cutlery drawer are huge and spherical. That’s superb, till I must measure out a spice or different seasoning that is available in a tiny jar and people huge, spherical spoons don’t match into it. To resolve for this, I’ve to get one other, tinier spoon concerned, which frequently results in spilling spices onto the countertop. It’s infuriating! Effectively, comparatively infuriating. But infuriating nonetheless.
As of this writing, nevertheless, I’ve ordered a set of slim, rectangular measuring spoons. They need to be right here by the point this weblog goes “reside,” or shortly thereafter. I’m excited for my future self, and barely jealous of her shiny new spoons—which can match into all of her spice jars, no matter their measurement—although I might be her quickly sufficient.
When you reside in a spherical measuring spoon family, I extremely advocate supplementing or changing your spherical spoons with a set of oblongs. They don’t seem to be arduous to seek out. Amazon sells a bunch of them, as do Bed Bath & Beyond, Williams-Sonoma, and King Arthur Baking (together with those pictured above). These spoons could be bought for round $10–$20, a small worth to pay for simple entry to precisely-measured spices.
