I found this nifty little set of stainless steel measuring 'spoons' at WalMart a couple of years ago. It's amazing how often I use 'em. Not sure what granny might say. She'd probably do one of these

and say, "Girl, I thought I taught you better."

Seriously, they really do come in handy. They are stamped smidgen, pinch and dash with smidgen being the smallest and dash the biggest.
