Our review
The Joseph Joseph Measure-Up is the clever little spoon that quietly replaces your whole tangled set of measuring spoons — 4.5 stars across roughly 2,400 ratings. Instead of digging through a ring of loose spoons, you just slide the handle and the bowl grows or shrinks to the size you need, with clear markings for both wet and dry ingredients (1ml up to 15ml, or a quarter teaspoon up to a tablespoon). One spoon, every common size, levelled off cleanly — it saves drawer space, saves washing a fistful of spoons, and from a brand that's built its name on smart space-saving kitchen tools. It's the kind of cheap upgrade that makes baking and cooking that little bit less fiddly every single time.
Honest expectations: it tops out at one tablespoon, so for anything larger you'll still reach for a measuring cup — it's a spoon-range tool, not a do-everything scoop. The sliding channel works best with free-flowing ingredients; very sticky things like honey or thick peanut butter can gum up the slider, so give it a wash before it dries. It's plastic rather than stainless, which keeps it light and cheap but means it's hand-wash-friendly rather than something to leave baking in the dishwasher forever. For everyday measuring without the drawer clutter, though, it's a genuinely satisfying little fix.

FAQ
How does it adjust the size?
You slide the handle and the spoon's bowl grows or shrinks to the marked size, so one spoon covers every common measurement from a quarter teaspoon up to a tablespoon.
Does it do both wet and dry?
Yes — it has separate markings for wet and dry ingredients, measuring liquids from 1ml to 15ml and dry from a quarter teaspoon to a tablespoon.
Can it measure more than a tablespoon?
No — it's a spoon-range tool that tops out at 1 tablespoon. For larger amounts you'll still want a measuring cup.
Will sticky ingredients clog it?
Very sticky things like honey or thick nut butter can gum up the sliding channel, so give it a quick wash before the residue dries and it stays smooth.
