Full question

I enjoyed the latest series of Simply Nigella. I would love to buy all the items Nigella uses in her each of her series, there is always something new to try and they always seem so useful and necessary in the kitchen. I am currently coveting the the measuring scoop she uses for dry ingredients, such as flour, although it looks like it would be just as at home in a sweet shop due to its size. Could you tell me where Nigella bought her large scoop from please? Thank you

Our answer

Nigella has used a stainless steel scoop for flour in a couple of her TV shows, as it fits easily into a jar. Unfortunately Nigella has owned the scoop for some time and whilst we suspect it was made by Amco, at present they do not make any similar scoops. However they do make the measuring spoons that are featured on the Simply Nigella TV series.

There are some similar scoops available on the internet and we would suggest looking for the Winco aluminium 12 ounce scoop, which looks similar to Nigella's. Also it is worth checking stores and websites that sell catering equipment as this type of scoop is often used in the catering industry.
