MEASURE BY MEASURE
Forget messy measuring cups and spoons — this smart scale links to an app and streamlines your dinner prep ($99 at GetDrop.com). With Drop, simply pick a recipe from the hundreds of free offerings, add ingredients in order, and an alert pops up when you’ve hit the right amount of onions or flour or saffron. Cooking for one? Select “single serve” and the recipes automatically adjust. A whiz in the kitchen? The app is now open to usergenerated recipes, so its library is rapidly expanding.
