Mini Measuring Spoons 5-Piece Set - Tad, Dash, Pinch, Smidgen, Drop - For Cheesemaking, Baking, Seasonings, And More - Easily Measure Rennet - Perfect For Portion Control

I am on a sodium restricted diet to keep my BP in check without going on meds. My cooking measuring spoons only go down to 1/4 teaspoon. Sometimes I just need a sprinkling of salt but how much is that? Well, Gemini AI to the rescue. They informed me of mini measuring spoons, which I didn't even know existed. I researched what's available on Amazon. This was the winner for accuracy and labeling. I have old eyes and can easily read the amounts on each spoon. They are really cute, too.

Very handy in helping me regulate my sodium intake.

Work great! Made of metal, so they are more resistant than plastic. Bonus that these are very small quantities that are hard to find.

Great little measure spoons for cheesemaking so you don't have to guess between a pinch and a smidge.

Perfect for cutting salt intake

Good that you’re only measuring tiny amounts. This four (4) piece set (Nip, Smidgen, Pinch, Dash) is stamped from metal (appears to be stainless but does attract a magnet) that my dial calipers measured at 0.0375 (1/32) inch thickness. Finish is somewhat roughly done with tool marks visible in the photo, with noticeable bend in the handles of at least two (2) of the measures. The set keeper connecting ring is also very thin and allows individual measures to be easily removed. I’ve never cooked anything where such a small amount of an ingredient would make that big of a difference, but if you are concerned along that line, I suppose these represent a reasonable value. After ordering, I learned that If you need to measure a Tad or a Drop, you’re on your on – they’re not included in this set. I originally was going to gift them to my wife, but decided just to hide them in the kitchen utensil drawer instead of explaining why I didn’t ask for her opinion before I got them. I hope you find my photo and comments helpful in your consideration of this item.

It's honestly annoying when recipes say you need a pinch of an ingredient, because how exactly do you measure a pinch??? So when I saw this product, I didn't hesitate and it's a lifesaver. I'm not a cheesemaker (yet? lol) but it's useful for everyone honestly. Although I've never seen a recipe that calls for a 'nip' of something, I'm sure it'll be useful someday. The quality could be better, but I like that the handles and spoon are single connected pieces. If you struggle with measuring ingredients, especially with vague instructions, this is a must-buy.

We are on Keto and there are several YouTube channels that come up with some quite creative recipes that rely on very tiny amounts of certain specialized ingredients. All of our measuring spoon sets only went down to 1/8th tsp. We had recipes that called for measurements as small as 1/64th tsp. Prior to getting this set we had to guess. Having this set has definitely improved our results. It is true that in the past, I had never come across a recipe that used measurements this small. But I have seen many a recipe that wants a pinch of something or a smidgen of something else. Those are very imprecise terms, but these spoons are labeled with these terms. Now I did a bit of research and I found that these cooking terms are really not standardized. For example, most sources stated that a pinch was between 1/8th and 16/th of a tsp and that a smidgen was "half a pinch". Using a more standardized measurement would lead to consistent results, so I will be using these with my normal backing as opposed to guessing what a pinch is.
