If you have ever baked from scratch, you’ve probably noticed that measuring spoons were not designed for liquids.
When OXO International asked us to find a solution, we proposed an entirely new look at small liquid measurements and designed the 4 Piece Mini Measuring Beakers.
Whether you are measuring extracts, vinegars or food coloring, using spoons is just frustrating. The measuring line is the top of the spoon; it’s almost impossible to not spill over sides. If you make a mistake, you cannot pour the liquid from the spoon back into the bottle, and it gets even more confusing if you want to halve or double the recipe.
Often times, you might measure ingredients out before mixing them, to avoid measuring mistakes that could ruin the whole batch. Chefs call this pre-measuring “mise en place”. However with measuring spoons, you cannot set the spoon down without spilling out the liquid.
Rather than redesign the measuring spoon, we threw out the spoon and designed the Mini Measuring Beakers.
The beakers have large, easy-to-fill funnel tops with a spout, allowing for spill-proof pouring even when pouring into tiny extract bottlenecks. There are also clear, easy-to-read graphics in multiple imperial and metric units, simplifying halving or doubling recipes. On the bottom of the beakers are rubber bases that fit snuggly to the insides of the following size, so the beakers all stay together, even in a drawer. The flat bases also allow the beakers to stand up, so a chef can set up their “mise en place”. The 4 Piece Mini Measuring Beaker Set redefine how liquids are measured in the kitchen.
