# Utensil-Equipped Jar Lids The 'SPLID' Keeps Ingredients Fresh and Accessible By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-09-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splid References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2019/08/30/someone-finally-had-the-sense-to-build-a-spoon-right-into-the-jars-lid/) & [splid.au](https://www.splid.com.au/) The 'SPLID' has been designed by Paul Mathis for Future Projects Trust as a way to combine two essential kitchen items into one convenient item for intuitive ingredient access. The accessory combines the functionality of a [jar lid and a measuring spoon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolving-spoon) (hence the name), and prevents the need for chefs to keep measuring spoons nearby when preparing their choice of recipe. Designed in five size options, the lid-spoon hybrid is ideal for [dry ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-spice-dispenser) and will streamline preparation without the need for multiple accessory items. The 'SPLID' was explained by the designer who said, "To use, simply lift or twist off SPLID & in one continuous motion – scoop up what you need, use it, & then [replace back over the jar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-trick-pony-2). No need for a fresh teaspoon each time." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Convenient Multi-functional Products:** The 'SPLID' combines the functionality of a jar lid and a measuring spoon, offering convenience and efficiency in the kitchen. - **Streamlined Preparation:** The 'SPLID' eliminates the need for multiple accessory items and simplifies the cooking process by providing an all-in-one solution. - **Space-saving Kitchen Accessories:** The 'SPLID' reduces clutter in the kitchen by combining two essential items into one compact design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** The 'SPLID' presents an opportunity for kitchenware manufacturers to create more innovative and multi-functional products. - **Food Packaging:** The 'SPLID' can inspire food packaging companies to design lids that offer additional features and convenience for consumers. - **Cooking and Recipe Apps:** The 'SPLID' can integrate with cooking and recipe apps, offering users a more seamless and intuitive cooking experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cookware-Encapsulating Kitchen Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splatterdm.md) - [Spoon-Equipped Formula Lids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chadwicks.md) - [Single-Piece Silicone Measuring Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boi-measuring-cup.md) - [Traditional Food Preservation Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-food-storage-container.md) - [Self-Cleaning Measuring Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamfarms.md) - [Versatile Kitchen Multi-Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-multitools.md) - [Interchangeable All-in-One Cutlery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinchy-cutlery.md) - [Eight-in-One Kitchen Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchyhub.md) - [Revolutionary Splatter Guards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adjustable-stovetop-splatter-guard.md)
