Use a rubber band to level measuring spoons
Leveling a measuring spool is the key to an error-free recipe. If the recipe calls for half a tablespoon, you better make sure that you’re only putting in half a tablespoon, otherwise the final dish may come out all wonky. However, it can be a pain to level the spoon with a knife or other flat utensil.
What you can do is use a rubber band. Stretch the rubber band across the top of a jar or storage container so that you can use it to level your measuring spoon. This hack also ensures that none of the ingredients falls to the side of the container.
