Measuring Spoons
I have been looking for a usable set of measuring spoons for a while. There are many variations available, but not all appeal to me. I would have liked to have a set of stainless steel spoons, but a decent set is quite expensive.
I found a plastic set on Temu which looked as though it covered most of the volumes I was looking for:

Interestingly, the identical set was considerably more expensive on Takealot than on Temu.

While in Mr Price Home I found the following set for R49, which included a cup-sized measure (250 mL):

The sizes in this set range from ⅛ tsp (0.66 mL) to a cup. The ⅛ tsp is very useful for consistent "pinch of" amounts!
The only problem I have is that, due to the colour, the text indicating the volume is quite difficult to read. I will try to enhance these with a marker pen.
