Measuring cup and spoon brings you all sizes with just a slider

Posted on by

For those who love to cook (or even those who don’t love it but need to do it), measuring cups and spoons are an essential part of their tools. Unless they can actually estimate the correct quantity of ingredients, these are needed for those that follow exact recipes or at least estimate the correct mix of ingredients and flavors. Kitchens are often cluttered with all kinds of measuring tools along with the usual array of pots, pans, and other cooking devices and accessories.

Designer: Lékué

Kitchenware manufacturer Lékué has come up with something that can sort of declutter your kitchen. It’s a singular spoon that uses a slider to give you the different measures that you need when using your ingredients. All you have to do is slide it to the desired measurement, whether it’s a teaspoon or a tablespoon, or a specific measurement like 5ml, 10ml, or 20ml. It can be used for things like sugar, flour, grains, and even liquids like oil, vinegar, soy sauce, etc.

There is also a measuring cup that serves as the spoon’s storage. Using it is simpler. For half-cup measurements, fill it up until the colored portion.. And if you need a full cup, fill it up to the top. If you need to be specific, half a cup is 125 ml while a full cup is 250 ml. If you need something less than half a cup, then you’ll have to estimate what is one-fourth of the cup storage which should be pretty easy unless you need to be super exact with your measurements.

If you want to keep your kitchen accessories neat and tidy, this Measuring Spoons and Cups “invention” should be the perfect one for you. Not only will you get more space in your kitchen space, you also will have less things to wash and dry whenever you’re keeping. It comes in different colors as well like red, blue, and green so you can choose which one to match your kitchen aesthetics. The set sells for $13 and you have to buy them together and not just one or the other.

Good food is worth the ‘weight’

This is a story of how I attempted making meringues (thrice), but I always ended up messing the proportions, because the recipe used 4 egg whites, but I had to downsize it to 1 egg white (I was cooking for myself). The result? Burnt, collapsed meringues that had the consistency of soaked, sticky cookies.

Honestly, life would have been so much easier if things were standardized. No one understands 3 cups sugar because we all have differently sized cups. The same goes with spoons. Teaspoons? Tablespoons? Regular spoons, or scoop spoons? Nightmare.

The minute you change things to metric or empirical units, everyone wins, because Hostweigh’s spoon allows you to measure out your ingredients by weight. Basically a handheld weighing scale, the Hostweigh Weighing Spoon allows you to calibrate all your measurements down to a tenth of a gram, so that you can prepare food with accuracy. The spoon comes in modes, allowing you to measure in ounces too. Plus the spoon’s scoop comes with level markings, letting you measure out milliliters of liquid out too. Not just for the cooking enthusiast, the Hostweigh is a rather useful tool for people who want to measure their sugar/calorie intake by weight, as well as for medicinal preparation (as niche as it may be). No, please don’t think of Breaking Bad.

A Twist on the Tea/Tablespoon

Why should measuring spoons be perfect circles? The Pi-spoon is twist on the classic nesting measuring spoons that explores different geometries and shapes for greater intuitiveness and aesthetic! Rather than nesting circles, its spoons are visible divisions of the one before it. Better yet, it’s an ideal tool for the blind who can feel and instantly recognize the shape and therefore size!

Polygon Is One Measuring Spoon to Rule Them All

Posted on by

At first glance, this thing looks like nothing more than a small ruler, but that’s just a clever disguise. Really, the Polygon is an origami-like strip that can be folded to create different sizes of measuring spoons, making it the flattest set of measuring spoons out there.

It has cleverly-designed hinges integrated along its surface, which is how it transforms into various sizes of measuring spoons for accurately adding ingredients to your baking projects.

The spoons don’t retain their folded shape once you let go. The material can flex up to 100,000 times without failing. It comes in two sizes: tablespoon and teaspoon. Each one comes with four bowl sizes (one, one-half, three-fourths, and one-fourth) with a bowl design that should handle powdered, liquid, and other ingredients easily.

You can find them on Kickstarter and get yourself a set for $12(USD).

Flat Spoon Means Super Functionality

Posted on by

The Polygons Measuring Spoon is an innovative and surprising redesign of the kitchen tool that eliminates the need for multiple measuring units, thereby saving space and time. The design applies intentional geometric cuts to a single sheet of plastic that allow the design to be pinched at different sections to create varying bowl sizes. When you’re finished, it snaps back to flat making it easy to wipe, clean and store. Watch it in action —>

Smart Measure

Posted on by

Why this doesn’t exist already, I’m not sure. But it should. Now. 3 problems with common measure spoons: they don’t stay together, you need a second utensil to level the ingredient for an accurate measurement, and they spill easily. Sucks right? This super-smart solution solves all three problems in one of the most simple designs I’ve seen. Wham, bam, problem solved. Check out the vid to see how it works!
