Question: Does anyone know how to measure half a gram of a cosmetic cream?
Document: I have to give my puppy powdered medicine in a very small amount - one half of 1/16 of a teaspoon. I had been just shaking out a small portion but when I saw these spoons, I ordered them immediately. Now I know she is getting the right amount of medicine in her tiny body regularly. I am so glad I bought them!
They really work for me and I recommend then to anyone needing to measure just a "smidgen" now and then.
these small measuring spoons are exactly what I have been looking for and they do a good job, I would recommend these to anyone who is in the need to measure anything small.
Love these cute spoons! I quickly found out that the largest spoon, a &#34;tad&#34;, is = 1/4 tsp. A &#34;dash&#34; is 1/8th, and the others are one-half the volume of the next size down. These are handy! I use them all the time. It's nice to be able to measure out such small amounts.
These tiny spoons are great for measuring really small amounts of sucralose powder or spices. I like that they're all connected by a ring, so I don't lose any of them. The silly names instead of the actual measure takes a little getting used to, but I just remind myself that the largest spoon is a 1/4 tsp. measure, and then each spoon is half the size of the preceding one.
Somewhere in review land someone wrote an extensive article of the volume of the spoons. Go read it. You will want to know the capacity of these little buggers or you won't be looking for small spoons. Why the manufacturer didn't bother to give a precise measure is beyond me. Fortunately, nothing is beyond the scope of the Amazon reviewers.
This is bizarre.We have a product widely sold online who's purpose is to measure small amounts of a substance with, one assumes, some reasonable degree of accuracy. But the manufacturer, rather than mark the spoons with a useful unit of measure chose to stamp cutesy names on them that suggest a rough approximation rather than an actual measure. As if they didn't even know themselves what the true sizes were.
Many reviewers here stress how handy they for *accurately* measuring out small quantities - in spite of the fact that they DON"T ACTUALLY KNOW what fraction of a teaspoon they're dolling out. Why do I say this? Because every previous attempt i've found to translate the cutesy names into standard units of measure - here and at other O/L retailers - is wrong. All of them. I know this because I did something that *apparently* no one has ever done before.
on several recipes they call for less than the standard Tablespoon, teaspoon and half and quarter teaspoon... these come in very handy
I printed out laffin-boy's measuring chart from his Amazon review, and when I got the spoons, took an electric engraver and engraved the correct fractions on the back of each spoon handle. NOW they fulfill the purpose for which I bought them......to precisely measure out 1/16 teaspoon of a progesterone cream, to which I am very sensitive. It took many months to figure out JUST the right twice-a-day dosage for me.
Answer: I bought a 200 gram capacity digital gram scale on amazon for less than $15 and it's pretty accurate.  Mine weighs to .00 grams which would work for your purposes.  I think it's great for culinary and cosmetic measuring purposes (the small stuff of course).  I'm not too sure about that cheap of a scale for something as pricey as precious metals and gemstones although it does weigh carats too.  You can also get the 100g and 200g weight to calibrate the scale for better accuracy overall. People who said to use a kitchen scale with a 1 gram increment are pretty far off the mark, it seems like they didn't think that through.  I do use a kitchen scale that has 1 gram increment but that would not be accurate for these smaller amounts. You may find that one of the measuring spoons is close, but you would have to test that out with a gram scale first.
