Spice scoop of small teaspoons

My numerous spices are mainly in angular former mushroom jars, which fit wonderfully in my kitchen drawer and leave no gaps. So far, however, I had the problem of finding a suitably small scoop that fits in the glasses.

Of course, I can pour the desired amount of spice into the palm of my hand or with a spoon, but neither seemed practical enough to me.

In the Turkish supermarket I found teaspoons, which are excellently suitable, since they


  • for a much smaller, than household teaspoons and
  • also very flexible.

Each Turkish supermarket or dealer carries these spoons, which are usually offered to the local small tea glasses.

I have bent the spoons so that they fit in my glasses and I can easily dispense spices without dirtying the hands or other spoons.

Six of these small plain (probably tin) spoons cost less than 2 euros. In each of my spice jars is now such a small bent practical spoon, which makes the removal easy and still does not hinder the tight screwing the lid.
