Digital Dose

Spoonscale_2

The easy joke is that this Spoon Scale is a gadget for drug dealers posing as a kitchen tool. But, the scale, which can measure exact weight down to 0.1 grams, would probably be pretty useful for serious bakers (where measures of weight often trump volume) or for translating foreign language recipes that use the metric system. Results may be given in grams or ounces and are displayed on a small LCD screen. Approximately $35 (18.5 £) at Pro-Idee. [Via Not Martha]

Broom for Baking

Amishcaketesterbroom The Swiffer has dealt a serious blow to brooms everywhere, but one thing it can't do is test whether your cake is fully baked. The Amish Cake Tester Broom (found via Book of Joe) is comprised of corn husk straws that can be broken off and used as cake testers. $6.99, including a poem, at CHEFS.
