The kitchen is the heart of the home, or so some say. Growing up I used to love sitting in the kitchen rather than any other room. Sadly my kitchen now isn’t big enough to sit in, but I still sit in my mums kitchen when I go to visit. But the kitchen isn’t just for sitting it, it’s where we prepare and cook our meals. And in food prep, precision is key. From portion control as part of a balanced diet to following strict recipes, accurate measurements can make all the difference. Accuracy in weighing out ingredients ensures that recipes turn out consistently every time, with the right balance of flavours and textures. Additionally, accurate measurements are crucial for portion control, allowing you to manage your nutritional intake and diet to achieve health and fitness goals. We all have weighing scales in our kitchens to achieve this, but another handy device is a digital measuring spoon. A digital measuring spoon is designed to bring efficiency, accuracy and convenience to any kitchen.
The Mafiti Digital Measuring Spoon is a versatile and user-friendly kitchen gadget that promises to make food preparation and portion control quick and easy.
The Mafiti Digital Measuring Spoon is exactly what it says, a spoon that weighs what is on it, so there is no need to get the kitchen scales out. It boasts that it features a high-precision sensor, measuring ingredients with an accuracy of up to 0.1 grams.
With a large LCD screen that displays it makes it very easy to read the measurements. It also has a tare function and modes for measuring in different weighing units: gram (g), ounce (oz), carat (ct) or grain (gn).
As it is an electronic spoon, it is incredibly versatile as it is capable of weighing solids, liquids, and powders. With its versatility it is perfect for measuring out ingredients for a recipe, balancing your diet or even portioning out pet food. And because it features a detachable spoon head, it makes it extremely easy to keep clean.
Overall, the Mafiti Digital Measuring Spoon is a handy gadget to add to your kitchen arsenal to make your culinary needs more efficient. An easy to use device with simple to operate buttons, it is ideal for measuring out quick portions with reasonable accuracy.
It is a battery operated device (CR2032) but has an automatic shutdown function to conserve the battery life and the spoon head is easily detachable for easy cleaning.
The screen is easy to read and its spoon design makes it very easy to use, whether holding it or having on the counter top and adding ingredients to it.
As simple and easy to use as it is, I did find that it wasn’t always accurate – if I tapped the side of the measuring spoon, it would remeasure and slightly change by 0.1 or 0.2g. While not a massive difference it can make a difference to strict measurements. So when using it I go with the initial reading and not any subsequent ones from any kind of movement.
So for measurements with a slight degree of fluctuation it a handy little gadget, for consistent precise measurements I wouldn’t want to rely on it. While the difference isn’t going to wildly throw off your measurements or recipe, I wouldn’t rely on it for consistency.
