Stop the clanging ruckus caused by frantic searches for measuring spoons in your kitchen tool drawer. Stop it now. Innovation, even on the most simplistic devices never fails to astound and the Nuscüps are a prime example. To select different measurements, simply adjust the thumb slider to match the amount you want and scoop. Labeled in both Metric and English scales, the tool is equipped to dial up whatever your recipe calls, for no matter if it comes from an American chef or someone across the pond.
Dishwasher safe, Nuscüps even have a magnet for attaching to your fridge when not in use and are sold in a variety of sizes depending on your requirements. All in all, we think they’re pretty brilliant and, if you hear a strange tinkling sound near our offices, don’t worry. That’s just Dusty “Tim Taylor” Overby trying to re-purpose our old measuring spoons as wind chimes in the GP kitchen. For a video of the tool in action that’s about as exciting as watching paint dry, yet still informative, hit the jump. Also check out the shot diagramming each part of the Nuscüp for you “how’d they do that” obsessive types.
Cost: $13.95 for large, $11.95 for mini
