My biggest beef with spice jars<\/a> is that the openings are nonsensically narrow. Surely corporate America must know that standard tablespoons absolutely do not fit inside spice jars. Do they secretly delight in frustrating home cooks?\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Case in point: A recipe calls for a tablespoon of cumin. I have cumin. I have a tablespoon. The problem is that my tablespoon doesn\u2019t fit inside my spice jar, so I\u2019m left to either pour dried spices onto my spoon and inevitably onto the counter, or I do that delicate dance of dipping a half teaspoon into the tiny jar six times. (Oh wait, was that the fifth time?) You know exactly<\/em> what I\u2019m talking about.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Now, wide-mouth spice jars<\/a> would<\/em> solve this problem, but let\u2019s be real: I\u2019m never going to decant my spices. I love decanting in general, but I have limits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n That\u2019s why I was so excited to find a $12 solution<\/a> to this universal problem. When the last of my beautiful but frustratingly fragile measuring spoons broke, I knew I needed something a little more durable. To my delight, I discovered that Spring Chef<\/a> has taken the problem with spice jars into their own hands with its narrow measuring spoons<\/a> that were made to fit narrow openings. I clicked \u201cBuy Now\u201d without a second\u2019s hesitation \u2014 I\u2019d finally found what I was looking for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n When the stainless steel spoons arrived at my door, I proceeded to demonstrate to every single person in my household that our new measuring spoons finally fit inside our spice jars. A whole tablespoon! Can you believe it? Doesn\u2019t it make you want to cook something?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
