Have you ever tried to grab just a teaspoon of cumin, only to wrestle with a measuring spoon that refuses to fit in the spice jar? Frustrating and annoying, right? Like hitting your head against a wall. Maybe that’s a teeny bit dramatic, but I know you’re picking up what I’m putting down.
Rounded measuring spoons may be a kitchen classic, but sometimes they make you feel like you're solving an escape room puzzle instead of prepping dinner. Why make cooking more complicated?
Enter elongated rectangular measuring spoons. A design geek had their coffee when these were made. These sleek, slim spoons glide easily into narrow spice jars, saving you from the struggle (and spills). Whether you're measuring paprika for a smoky rub or cinnamon for a holiday dessert, these spoons make the process faster, cleaner, and way more enjoyable.
These are the measuring spoons I stock up on.
Williams-Sonoma carries this version.
Sur La Table has this version.
