My favorite measuring spoon is a white porcelain tablespoon with blue trim," says Alpers. "I don’t remember where I got it and the rest of the set broke over the years. It’s the one measuring spoon I reach for first. It’s smooth and cool to the touch and I love how the while color offsets whatever it holds." KitchenAid knows how to help you achieve your kitchen dreams, so it's no surprise its most affordable set of measuring spoons is the perfect budget buy.

"I find I consistently need to measure a tablespoon of some sort of liquid, condiment, or herb, more than anything else, but when I am following a recipe with several different measurements in the instructions I prefer a ring attachment," says Alpers. This digital measuring spoon performs just like that. It has a tare so you can add multiple ingredients into the spoon bed for measuring, making sure to straighten it on the counter for an accurate reading. It also comes with auto-shutoff after 1 minute. Most importantly, it has four modes of measurement: gram, ounce, grain, and carat. It measures anything from 0.1 grams to 500 grams and comes with two AAA batteries.
