1. Measuring Spoon
Measuring spoons are special, standardized spoons
used to measure very small quantities of ingredients by volume quickly and
accurately.
Even in metric countries, many small quantities of ingredients are measured
with measuring spoons rather than by weight, because it's too much bother to
weigh them out. In metric countries, they are even referred to as teaspoons,
rather than by referring to their metric volume in millilitres. A French recipe
wouldn't call for 15 ml of dried sage; it would call for "une
cuillère" (a teaspoon.)
That being said, most Europeans "don't sweat the small stuff" when it
comes to measuring spoons. They just whip a spoon out of the drawer. If pulling
any old spoon out of the drawer seems shocking, bear in mind that there are no
official standards-checkers for North American measuring spoons: it's not
uncommon that one set can vary from another by as much as 25%.
Teaspoons and tablespoons are unofficial measurements. They're not legally
defined because they aren't used in commerce or in science, so they never
seemed to merit the attention of government. In North America, compliance in
measurement accuracy for any measuring utensils isn't enforced. For the purpose
of metric conversion in nutrition labelling, though, U.S. federal law (21 CFR
101.9(b)(5)(viii))) says that a tablespoon is 15 ml (by convention, for kitchen
use, it's thought of as 1/2 oz, though it isn't quite exactly), and that a
teaspoon is 5 ml.
Measuring spoons can be made of stainless steel, plastic, wood, copper,
ceramic, even Jadeite glass. If you get metal ones, make sure they are
dishwasher safe. Stainless steel ones can bend if you're using them to dig out
something like hardened brown sugar -- just gently bend them back into shape as
much as you can. Many plastic ones in North America meet their end after being
carried out of the cutlery basket in the dishwasher by a jet of water, and
landing on the heating coils that North American dishwashers have at the
bottom, where they get melted into something unrecognizable.
Metal and plastic ones usually have holes in the end of the handles, and are
joined together by a ring passing through the holes. The rings keep the sets
together; the spoons in the set nestle together (in theory) for storage into
each other's bowls. Some plastic ones detach easily from their rings for
separate use, then snap back on for storage (though eventually, of course, one
snap gets forgotten, then another, and eventually you have just this ring
floating by itself about your drawer.) Thus starts the great debate everyone
has with themselves: do I leave my set of Measuring Spoons all together, so
that they're easier to find and one of them doesn't go astray, or do I take
them apart, so that when one is dirty, only one has to be washed, and so that
when I'm using them, I'm not trying to keep the dirty one that has butter on it
from flopping into the baking powder that I'm measuring with another of them?
Some people take them all apart, and solve the "storing together"
problem by dedicating a slot in their drawer divider to them.
Most measuring spoons have rounded bottoms. Some have bent handles allowing
them to rest on the counter without tipping out the contents of their measuring
bowls; some allow the resting to happen by dint of flat-bottomed bowls.

3. Measuring Jug
A measuring cup or measuring jug is
a kitchen utensil used
primarily to measure the volume of liquid or bulk solid cooking ingredients
such as flour and sugar, especially for volumes from about 50 mL (2 fl oz)
upwards. Measuring cups are also used to measure washing powder, liquid
detergents and bleach for clothes washing. The cup will usually have a scale
marked in cups and fractions of a cup, and often with fluid measure and weight
of a selection of dry foodstuffs.
Measuring cups may be made of plastic, glass, or metal. Transparent
(or translucent) cups can be read from an external scale; metal ones only from
a dipstick or
scale marked on the inside.
