April 3: Kitchen Gadget Appreciation Day

Remember Kitchen Gadget Appreciation Day?  No, probably not...  it hasn't gained a whole lot of traction over the last year...  but today, to celebrate the second annual occurence of this illustrious event, I think it's fitting to select one item from my kitchen to receive the Gadget of the Year Award.

This year I choose the gadget I reach for the most, just about every week.  Here it is:

This is a spoon sold by King Arthur Flour which measures exactly one packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) of yeast.  When one buys yeast in bulk, it's soooooo much easier to grab this thing and scoop once or twice than to measure out two and a quarter teaspoons.  And at $3.95, it's an affordable indulgence.

Happy Kitchen Gadget Appreciation Day to all!
