Joseph Joseph Measure-Up Adjustable Spoon

Joseph Joseph Measure-Up Adjustable Measuring Spoon

A compact, single-tool alternative to a full measuring spoon set. One spoon with a sliding handle that adjusts the bowl size at each end, so it covers a whole range of volumes instead of needing separate spoons for each size.

Key features:

  • Wet & dry measuring — covers 1ml–15ml for liquids, and ¼ tsp–1 tbsp for dry ingredients

  • Sliding adjustment — line up the arrow indicator to your target volume, no guessing

  • Two ends, one tool — replaces a full set with a single compact spoon

  • Flat top edge — makes levelling off dry ingredients (flour, spices, etc.) easy with the back of a knife

  • Dismantles for cleaning — slide the handle insert out to clean properly rather than trapping residue in a fixed mechanism

  • Space-saving — a sensible pick if you're short on drawer space or want fewer loose spoons rattling around

Good to know before buying:

  • Listed as dishwasher safe by most retailers, but at least one reviewer found the plastic stained with strong spices like turmeric and had the measuring cup crack after repeated dishwasher use — hand-washing may extend its life

  • It's plastic, not stainless steel, so it won't feel as premium or durable as a metal set, and some reviewers found the printed measurement markings a little hard to read

  • Because it's one spoon doing many jobs, you can't measure two different quantities at once the way a full nested set allows — better suited to solo, sequential measuring

  • Very inexpensive (~£8), so it's a low-risk buy even if it turns out not to suit your workflow

Best for anyone who wants to declutter their measuring spoon drawer or needs something compact for a small kitchen or travel/Airbnb stays. If you bake often with staining ingredients like turmeric or care a lot about long-term durability, a traditional stainless steel set might hold up better over time.
