Anyone got a spoon set that includes 1/6 tsp measure?

[soupyspoon]

Just that, been looking on Amazon and can find every size but that one

Mine goes from 1/4 to a pinch… could you not just do a small spoon of the smallest you have?

My smallest is a quarter.

AI reliably (lol) informs me that 1/6th is 2/3rds of 1/4 (ARRGGGHHHH maths!!!!!)

So iit tells me to use 1/4 and take a bit out. I'll never manage it to be honest, I'll spill it all over the place

So I think I might use 1/8th (have to buy a different set of spoons) and do half of 1/8th on top.

What are you measuring that only requires 1/6 teaspoon?!

No knead bread, but for a very small pot

I made one over the weekend in my big cast iron pot and we're never going to get through it.

So the next one I make needs to be much smaller. I have asked AI (cant bring myself to call it Gemini, seems too familiar and we dont know each other that well yet), to work out what amounts I need for a 2.4ltr pot and it told me

So 1/6 is what I need but it says that I can use 1/8 and should be ok. Except I have to buy a new set of spoons for that

Just estimate it surely using the spoons you have. It’s not rocket science and you don’t need to purchase anything.

Well I dont have good eyesight and I have a disability in my hands and my dexterity is poor so estimating things in small tiny spoons is not easy for me. its better that I have the right equipment, my spoon set doesnt have a lot of different measures in it anyway and Ive noticed with other recipes I needed a bigger range. I prefer the look of some of the square type spoons also because then its easier to do half a measure, that would be easier to estimate in that shape of spoon.

Why don’t you make a bigger one and freeze the half/quarter of it that you don’t need? It would be a lot easier!

1/8th is just the 1/4 spoon about 1/2 full.

just eyeball it scoop just under half a 1/4 spoon, it wont make any difference

Weigh the full size and divide the weight by 6? Then weigh 1/6?

Unlikely to find scales that accurately weigh such a tiny amount.

We really dont eat a lot of bread, we'll probably take a month to get through the rest of what I did over the weekend. Possibly 2 slices a week we eat, if that (and thats only because its here). I have the slices of this loaf now in the freezer.

I like variety, I dont want to eat the same thing week after week so a smaller loaf is much better. The freezer is already full of my batch cooking.

So in a few weeks I will experiment with my next loaf and not have quite as much left over.

It is but the spoons Ive got are rounded, so you get less in the bottom than the top, so you cant do 'half' a spoonful and know its half

Anyway I will do 1/8th and its fine.

My set from Amazon (just white plastic) has a 1/3 spoon, easy to do half if needed

Ia it for measuring salt or yeast?

Its for yeast. I dont measure salt

It seems not enough. But anyway, for yeast in an overnight bread it will be accurate enough to use about 1g measured on scales. Maybe try that?

Its because the flour will only be 2 cups worth, a scaled down recipe for a smaller loaf

Measure a full 1/4 spoon.
Tip it out onto a flat surface like a sandcastle.
Cut in half.
Save the other half for next time.

Will the recipe even work with that small a quantity? Can you downscale recipes like that?

(I genuinely don’t know the answer to that!)

I hope this link works OK if not then Google it and you'll find them . Kitchen craft do double ended measuring spoons with the size you want Spoons

You can get measuring spoons, a dash, a pinch, a smidgen and a nip. A nip is 1/64. Is that the same sort of measurement as 1/6? (Crap at maths)

Can’t you just ask whichever ai how much in grams weigh it on a digital scale

Well I will be having sharp words with Gemini if it doesnt go to plan!

I know, this is what this Gemini told me, I didnt realise they were actual terms, I couldnt find any on Amazon that had all of those measurements though, will try the link above that someone has posted.
