What are Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons?

These compact measuring spoons combine laboratory precision with a sturdy, handy design. They feel solid, are non-porous and sit comfortably in your hand. Ideal for small quantities of oils, powders and extracts – precisely those amounts where a kitchen scale is too coarse and "a drop" simply isn't a reliable measure.

The micro-measures in this set originate from the Anglo-Saxon kitchen system. In the United States and United Kingdom, they have been used for over a hundred years to measure tiny quantities of herbs and spices. In DIY cosmetics and aromatherapy, they became popular again later, because formulators needed fixed, repeatable micro-volumes for strong extracts and active ingredients. They are standardized in milliliters, so they have the same value worldwide.

Important: these micro-measures are not fractions of a teaspoon. They are not derived from 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16 teaspoon. The quantities don't historically work out neatly into such fractions and have always been used as independent measures. This makes them more reliable and less confusing than "a pinch" or "a dash", which can vary from person to person.

The smoothly polished stainless steel is odorless, easy to clean and remains hygienic. Due to the fixed volumes, you can dose more accurately than with drops, which makes a big difference especially with potent essential oils, CO₂ extracts and active ingredients.

The set contains 6 measures:

• 0.63 ml (⅛ teaspoon)
• 1.25 ml (¼ teaspoon)
• 2.5 ml (½ teaspoon)
• 5 ml (1 teaspoon)
• 7.5 ml (1½ teaspoon)
• 15 ml (1 tablespoon)

Thanks to these exact volumes, every step in your DIY process works consistently. You no longer have to guess or worry that you've accidentally "added just a bit too much", making your formulations more reliable and safer.

What are the benefits of Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons?

Precision without guessing
The fixed volumes make it easy to measure essential oils, active ingredients and botanical powders exactly. This supports both safety and effectiveness and prevents excessive concentrations.

Hygienic and odorless material
304 stainless steel is smooth, non-porous and easy to clean. It doesn't absorb odor, color or oil and keeps your workspace clean, batch after batch.

Consistent results
Accurate measuring ensures that every batch of your cream, serum or oil blend turns out the same. This builds confidence and prevents costly failed batches.

Durable and long-lasting
The sturdy stainless steel lasts for years, doesn't discolor and stays beautiful. A conscious, sustainable choice for anyone who regularly makes DIY products.
