There’s nothing better than finding a new twist on something that you need to use just about every day in the kitchen. These ceramic coffee measuring cups are just the thing to put a little spring in your step as you cook and bake, plus they’ll look beautiful out on your countertop or hanging from your cupboards once you’re done!

These measuring cups look just like regular coffee cups and you can nest them inside each other for storage or hang them for display. The measurements are all clearly marked inside, with 1-cup, 1/2-cup, 1/3-cup, and 1/4-cup measurements. One of the best things about these cups is that you’ll be looking straight down inside to the measurement so there’s no more banging your head against your countertop just to make sure you’re getting the right measurement!

But of course the very best thing about these coffee measuring cups from Nigella Lawson is that, in black or cream, they’ll be a beautiful addition to your kitchen that will make cooking even more fun!

No kitchen is complete without some type of measuring spoons and a short walk down any kitchenware aisle in any store will tell you that there are thousands of models out there available for all of your measuring needs! However, the Progressive Mini Magnet Measuring Spoons are true to thier name and take into consideration all the needs that one has when using these small gadgets, besides just the basic measuring functions. These spoons not only have a different measurement on every spoon, eliminating wasted space in drawers and allowing you to multi-task because you are only using one tool! Not only that but these spoons also have flat bottoms, so you can set them down on the countertop, even when they are filled with liquid! Add to that the fact that they are magnetized, which means that they will stay together in the drawer and you don’t have to go searching for them and it’s a wonder why anyone would use anything else! All of this functionality for only £2.00!

It’s frustrating when there is either so much spaghetti that pounds of it get wasted or there is too little to feed everyone at the table. And when you first take it out of the package and are looking at it, it can be difficult to determine how much you need. The spaghetti measure has four convenient slots, ranging from tiny to extra large, that dried spaghetti can simply be fitted into. Once it is nice and snug, drop it in the boiling water and soon you will have the perfect amount of spaghetti with everyone full and no waste! This beautiful spaghetti measure, made from pure Beech wood is 310 mm long and costs £2.50.

The only warning that comes with the spaghetti measure is to handwash it only. The heat and pressure from the dishwasher will cause the wood to warp.

Whether you’re obsessive compulsive in the kitchen or simply need an exact measurement for that one recipe, the Severin Electronic Scale will make sure that anything you cook is perfectly precise! You can weigh just about anything on this scale whether it’s meat, vegetables, flour, sugar, or anything else you can imagine! The scale is very compact and almost flat, meaning that you can easily stash it in a drawer or cupboard without it taking up valuable space. And the platform, which is made of very durable glass, comes off very easily so that you can get in there with one swipe to quickly and effectively clean it! The scale can also weigh anything as long as it’s 5 kilograms or less and if the ingredient weighs too much, a light will show that tells you that it’s too heavy. This tiny and very helpful gadget also turns itself off after one minute so that you don’t waste any of the battery, which is included. Combine all that with an easy-to-read LCD display and you’ll never measure any other way again! Available for £30.
