Best measuring spoons
For those wanting to precisely feed their sourdough or simply add the right amount of coriander seeds to their curry, measuring spoons are a must have - read on for our best buys.
Whether you need a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar for your donuts, two teaspoons of yeast for your bread or need to measure out various spices for your curry, measuring spoons are your friend in the kitchen. Measuring spoons allow you to carefully balance flavours and also ensure always accurate cooking and baking. Lots of spoons are not only good for measuring dry ingredients but wet ingredients, too. An ideal measuring spoon has ml and mg measurements, and some on our list even include American measurements.
Measuring spoons come in all shapes and sizes. Simple metal spoons are the most recognisable but plastic, wood and ceramic spoons often have a more striking design. Sets also vary in the measurements they include, with some going right down to 1/8 tsp. Here we have rounded up our favourite spoons to fit any kitchen drawer, including some colourful picks and more classic, minimalist designs.
