Measuring Spoons or Scale
Measuring Spoons or Scale
I'm curious as to what measuring system most of you use, measuring spoons or a scale, or both?
I did a little recon in the kitchen and found that we (my wife) has a hodge podge of measuring spoons that I really don't trust and am thinking about getting a quality set of spoons. Also, in my reading, one author recommended using a scale as the coursness of spices will affect volume but weigh is weight. Any suggestions on a scale?
I am new and just want to do it right the first time. (maybe a little to anal)
Thanks

Scales are the best and most accurate way to go.
Most recipes today are given both in volume and weight measurements.
You will probably want two scales one for the heavier items like meat(ex 0 to 20 lbs) and a smaller more sensitive gram scale ( 0 to 200 grams sensitive to .01 gram.
There are literally thousands of reasonably priced scales on EBay.
