Find a scale that can easily be changed for the unit amount and, if needed, do conversions for your recipe. This way of measuring ingredients ensures consistency, and won’t leave you wondering why your outcome seems slightly different every time.” Material: Stainless steel, plastic, and polystyrene | Dishwasher Safe: No | Measurements: Range from 0.1 gram to 500 grams | Number in Set: 1

A set of four measuring spoons includes ¼ teaspoon, ½ teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, and 1 tablespoon sizes. A set of six measuring spoons usually includes ⅛ teaspoon, ¼ teaspoon, ½ teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, ½ tablespoon, and 1 tablespoon sizes. Some sets also include ⅓ teaspoon and 2 tablespoons. Some sets even show all metric measurements. The sizes are written on the handles of the spoons. The sizes of some sets are color-coded for easier access.
