Mixing and Measuring

Pouring pancake batter onto a griddle or filling a muffin tin from a mixing bowl ends in drips and uneven portions. Norpro’s measuring funnel pitcher holds 3.5 cups and pours through an extra-long funnel spout that puts batter exactly where you aim it.Measure the liquid ingredients in the pitcher, mix the batter right in it, then pour neat rounds of pancakes or fill cupcake liners without smearing the rims. The spout is designed not to drip, and the translucent body shows how much batter remains, so the last pancake comes out the same size as the first.Norpro also lists sauces, glazes and gravy among its uses, and the long spout drizzles icing over cinnamon rolls in a thin, controlled line. Wash it soon after use so batter does not dry in the spout. For smaller amounts, the Norpro 2-cup silicone cup squeezes to a spout. Customers baking muffins and pancakes also use the English muffin rings on the griddle. Learn More

Measuring spoons get used every day, and a stainless set holds up to salt and acidic ingredients without warping or staining. Norpro’s 4-piece set runs from a quarter teaspoon to a tablespoon, with metric equivalents marked on each handle.Flat, level rims let you sweep a knife across the top for an accurate measure of baking powder or spices. The spoons hang together on a ring, so the whole set stays in one place in the drawer, and the ring opens if you want to use one spoon on its own.If you prefer to keep spoons apart and need a half tablespoon, the Norpro magnetic measuring spoons add that size and snap together with magnets. For cup measures, the Norpro 4-piece stainless measuring cups match this set. The two sets share the same steel and flat rims, and together they cover nearly any recipe’s dry measures. Keep the spoons dry after washing so salt and baking soda do not cake on them. Learn More

Baking needs accurate cup measures, and a stainless steel set will not crack or stain the way plastic cups can over time. Norpro’s 4-piece set includes 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 cup measures, each marked with its metric equivalent.Flat rims let you level flour or sugar with a straight edge for an exact measure, and the cups nest inside one another to take up little room in a drawer. Spoon flour into the cup and sweep the excess off the top. Scooping straight from the bag packs the flour down and adds more than the recipe intends.For deeper scoops with long handles that reach into a canister, see the Norpro 4-piece measuring scoop set, which adds a 1/8 cup. Without a 2/3 or 3/4 cup in the set, measure the 1/3 cup twice or the 1/4 cup three times. The matching Norpro stainless measuring spoons share the same flat rims, and the 2-cup silicone cup handles liquids. Learn More

A measuring scoop reaches into a flour bin or a bag of rice where a short cup handle cannot, and the long handles on this Norpro set keep your hand out of the canister. The four stainless scoops measure 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 cup and are marked with metric equivalents.Each scoop has a flat bottom, so it stands on its own on the counter as you fill it. An easy-pour shape that empties into a narrow bowl or a stand mixer without spilling. They measure dry and liquid ingredients alike, so one set handles both the oats and the milk for a batch of oatmeal. Dry each scoop before moving from liquid back to flour.The 1/8-cup scoop equals 2 tablespoons, which is useful for coffee grounds, oil and small amounts of sugar. For conventional nesting cups, see the Norpro 4-piece stainless measuring cups, and pair either set with the Norpro measuring spoons for complete coverage. Learn More

Norpro’s magnetic measuring spoons solve two everyday problems. Each spoon has two ends, a narrow oval that slips into a spice jar and a round bowl for liquids, and magnets in the handles hold the set together.The set of five covers 1/4 teaspoon up to 1 tablespoon, including a half-tablespoon spoon, and every spoon is marked in standard and metric measures. Pull off the one you need, measure cumin straight from the jar with the narrow end, then flip it to measure vanilla with the round end. The spoons snap back into a compact stack when you are done.The red and black handles are easy to spot in a crowded drawer. The half-tablespoon spoon saves counting out teaspoons when a recipe calls for 1.5. For a stainless set on a ring, see the Norpro 4-piece measuring spoons, and the Norpro stainless measuring cups cover larger amounts. Learn More
