Somehow I failed to include my favorite Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day tool in the post I wrote yesterday. It’s this spoon:
Authors Hertzberg and François recommend that you use a a half-tablespoon for speed measuring. This one has a tablespoon on one end which inverts, forming a half tablespoon measure on the other side. The other side does the same for teaspoons. It’s my secret to shaving 30 seconds off that five minutes.
OK, maybe not, but it certainly is convenient, and since it’s dedicated, I always know where it is, and that it hasn’t previously been sullied for some non-essential activity, like making dinner.
It’s a Trudeau 4-in-1 Reversible Measuring Spoon. Reviews on Amazon suggest that putting it in the dishwasher is not a good idea.
