Precision Spoon Scale — 'Fine tune your recipes'

There are those who will think outside the kitchen space.

For example, my one-off drug dealer dorm roommate back at UCLA my sophomore year, who would have found this tool far preferable to the balancing scale he used to weigh his wares.

He specialized in speed but offered cocaine, mary jane, LSD, peyote and shrooms for those who liked a little variety.

He told me I was welcome to anything that interested me — free — but me, I wasn't the type and never took him up on the offer.

Instead, I recall a very pleasant year going to sleep while his little desk lamp focused on his ledgers and materials as he worked throughout the night, happily fueled by his own 100% pure product.

But I digress.

Precision Spoon Scale — Fine Tune Your Recipes

If you're a serious chef, you know that volumetric measurement is terribly imprecise. Let's say you're making biscuits. The recipe says 1 cup of flour, but are we talking 200 grams or 270 grams? Depending on humidity, or how much your flour was compacted when you scooped it, that could make the difference between light and flaky and hockey pucks.

With baking, precision is absolutely vital. Measure your wet ingredients and your dry ingredients with our new ultra-precise spoon scale. With two spoons included, you can scoop out just the right amount of sugar, or even one-tenth of a gram of salt! To get this level of precision, you'd normally need a separate scale, but we've combined two immensely useful kitchen gadgets into one, and we love dual-use devices in the kitchen!

The graduated scales on the sides of the spoon will help you measure out your volumetric measurements, or you can use the LCD display built into the handle to measure the weight. It can weigh as little as one one-tenth of a gram all the way to 300 grams. So, whether you're trying to faithfully recreate grandma's secret recipe for gingerbread cookies or fine-tune your barbecue spice rub, you'll need to have precision on your side. Grab your spoon and go! Allez cuisiner!
