I was quite impressed with this dual function scale when I visited Vanessa over at Isshoni London. Salter have come up with a clever design that combines digital scale and kitchen clock into a single seamless unit. When hung vertically the digital display automatically switches to display either 12/24 hour time. When you need to measure something you just need to unhook the unit and it’s ready to go. The top surface of the Easy Store Scale sweeps back to create the simple hook compatible with many kitchen rail systems. With additional features like the ‘Aquatronic facility’ for both wet and dry ingredients, this scale saves you both space and time. A great choice for small (or very full) kitchens, the Salter Easy Store Rail Scale is £59.99 from the Guardian ReaderOffers.

I absolutely hate the timer on our oven. It has just two push button controls, which are too easily pressed when reaching across the hob or when simply chatting in the kitchen. I’m constantly changing the time and timer accidently. What I need is one of these handy Klip! Timers. With a built in belt clip, detachable lanyard, magnet and worktop stand the Klip! Timer is always near to hand while your food is cooking. Never again will your cookies toast, the Klip! display features a curving countdown graphic that so you’ll know with a glance how long is left. If you do manage to miss the beeps, the timer will then start counting up so you know exactly how long things have been cooking. Best of all it features a keypad lock to prevent those inadvertent changes. With a sleek modern style, the hourglass shaped Klip! Timer will hopefully keep the kitchen running like clockwork. You can find the Klip! by following the link below to Lakeland.

One of the hottest kitchen trends is to use silicone, and recently nearly every kitchen product has been designed to make use of it's wonderful flexibility. In measuring cups it's normally been used to just flatten them for easy storage, but the Flipper Spoons & Cups are just that bit more clever. The Flippers have used careful design to actually make them more useful. Each of the silicone cups is suspended from a hard plastic ring, this allows them to turn inside out and instantly double their capacity! Instead of a handful of spoons and cups in your drawers, there are only three pieces in each Flipper Set. With wonderfully tactile finish the Flipper Spoons are so fun to use and keeps your counters less cluttered when baking and cooking. A great example of clever design with new materials, the Flipper Spoons and Cups are available from Lakeland.

I'll admit I'm not a fan of electronic scales. I seem to have some weird effect on electronics, which causes them to act irrationally. Dan however is able to charm such technical devices, and at the same time finds my mechanical scales too imprecise. So we added the Salter Slim Electronic Scale to the wedding list. I'll admit the selection process for this item wasn't quite so complex. We chose the cheapest model as they all appeared to offer the same functions. The small platform design allows you to use a variety of bowls and containers upon the scale, while still tucking into a small corner of you kitchen. With easy to read 20mm high digits, the Slim Electronic Scale measures in both metric and imperial. With a capacity of 5kg/11lb, the Slim Scale measures in 1g or 0.1oz amounts. It also offers an aquatonic liquid measure function and an add and weigh function. Easy to clean and with a 15 year guarantee, the Salter Slim Electronic Scale should even survive my evil touch. Available from Amazon.co.uk, the Salter Slim Electronic Scale is just £14.08.

The Foodie Measuring Spoons bring a modern elegance and class to the simple measuring spoons. The distinctive spoons give a graphic representation of measurements. The half spoon is exactly that, half of the teaspoon; and the quarter merely a corner. The negative space is simply implied by a single ring. Silver plated, the Foodie measuring spoons are a clever and alluring design. A perfect choice for the designer or scientific chef, the Foodie Measuring Spoons are available for £15 from Amazon.co.uk.

Too often our tools feel just like that, practical things to do a job. Nigella Lawson’s measuring spoons show us even the practical things in life can still be beautiful. With shapes reminiscent of fine vintage silverware, the Living Kitchen measuring spoons are full of character. Each spoon features engraved text that accents the gently curving metal. My favourite is the smallest spoon, a pinch. Finally, I know how much that is! The set’s other spoons are quarter teaspoon, half teaspoon, teaspoon, dessert spoon (two teaspoons) and tablespoon. Designed by Sebastian Conran, the set is available in brushed or polished stainless steel and is dishwasher safe. The Living Kitchen measuring spoons are available in the UK for £20 or the US for $20.

OK I’ll admit; I quite like volumetric measuring. It’s not great for everything, but at times it’s fantastic to just grab a cup and scoop your ingredients up rather than pull out the scales every time. Nigella Lawson’s measuring cups take the experience one step further with this fabulous retro inspired design. Each one sports a tiny curving handle, reminiscent of vintage tea sets. Granted they aren’t as compact as our trust metal cups, but they’ve such a rich persona and really bring back the kitchens of yore. They create a really interesting and homey feel when stacked and when hung individually on hooks they bring a fantastic decorative element to your kitchen. The handles are more decorative than functional, and they are perhaps not precise enough for the pedantic chef, but for those for whom cooking is an art and who love to dive in and get their hands dirty they are a joy. They also work well as prep bowls and small ramekins opening a range of creative uses. Perhaps not the most practical of item, Lawson’s measuring cups will enhance you cooking experience. They’re simply a pleasure to behold. Designed by Sebastian Conran for both liquid and dry measures, Living Kitchen measuring cups are available in a lightly textured pale blue, cream, white or black. They retail for £29.99 in the UK and $14.99 in the US.
