An adjustable scoop includes a scoop body and a plunger. The scoop body has a cylindrical interior sidewall, a hollow interior, an open top, and an open bottom. The plunger is arranged in the interior of the scoop body such that a top surface of the plunger faces the open top. A volume of the interior of the scoop body above the plunger defines a volume of the adjustable scoop. The plunger is rotatable in the interior of the scoop body to adjust the volume of the adjustable scoop. The plunger includes a first engagement element, and a surface of the interior sidewall of the scoop body includes a second engagement element extending from the surface. The first and second engagement elements mutually cooperate to translate rotation of the plunger to adjustment of the volume of the adjustable scoop.

A scoop for the transfer of product from a container includes a head portion including a bowl portion; a handle portion slidably engageable with the head portion, the handle portion having a first position and a second position relative to the head portion; wherein in the first position, the handle portion at least partially overlaps part of the head portion such that at least part of the bowl portion is covered by the handle portion; wherein in the second position, the handle portion extends away from the head portion such that the bowl portion is no longer covered by the handle portion; wherein the length of the scoop being greater in the second position than in the first position.

Embodiments of the present invention include measuring apparatuses, method of use of the apparatuses, and methods of manufacture. A measuring apparatus may include, for example, a scoop portion joined to a handle portion, wherein the scoop portion and the handle portion are either separate elements connected to each other or contiguous regions on a piece of a material comprising the measuring apparatus, the scoop portion comprising a top surface and a bottom surface. The scoop portion may comprise two or more cavities, where each cavity is a concave indentation in either the top surface or the bottom surface, and where each cavity is formed to accommodate a pre-defined volume of a substance to be measured.

The current application is directed towards a compact ingredient container for separately storing small quantities of baking ingredients and allowing for easy dispensing thereof. In a version, the compact container generally comprises a compartment body comprising a plurality of separate compartments, each separate compartment providing a depth and a volume of space, and terminating at an upper perimeter defining a top opening. The compact container may provide one or more lids configured to operably connect and close over each of the respective top openings of the plurality of compartments, thereby forming a sealed volume of space within each compartment for each independent baking ingredient contained therein.

A scoop attaching device is a set of nestable measuring cups with attachable magnets, which allow each cup to store within the next larger size cup and stay together while being stored on the lid within a storage container, keeping the measuring cups out of the storage container material until ready for use.

A measuring cup or spoon includes a handle having a distal end and a proximal end, with a bowl positioned at the distal end of the handle, the bowl forming an interior space and terminating in an upper rim, the upper rim defining a plane and having a first side and a diametrically opposite second side. A wiper is attached to the handle by an arm, and is biased toward a first position at the first side of the upper rim, the wiper being selectively movable upon application of a force by a user to a second position at the second side of the rim, such that when the wiper is moved from the first position to the second position the wiper scrapes over the upper rim.

A lid and scoop assembly for a container is disclosed.

A hands free measuring spoon assembly for reducing spillage and waste includes a handle that is coupled to and extends from a circumference of a bowl so that the handle is substantially coplanar with a top of the bowl. The handle is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user to lift the bowl. A first fastener is coupled to the circumference of the bowl so that the first fastener is opposingly positioned on the bowl relative to the handle. A second fastener is coupled to the handle distal from the bowl. The second fastener and the first fastener are configured to be selectively coupled to a lip of a vessel so that the bowl is supported over an opening of the vessel. The user then is positioned to portion a component into the bowl in preparation for adding a portion of the component to the vessel.
