Product Information

Some people love this because it’s a mini version of the Kitchen Art Professional Adjustable Measuring Cup. This measuring cup is so tiny that it can fit even in your small kitchen cabinet. Plus, its food-grade material and can measure dry and liquid ingredients. The Bad The Wonder Cup is the ideal tool for all kitchen measuring. The Wonder Cup may look familiar to you as it is frequently used by celebrity chefs like Alton Brown on the Food Network and other shows. 4. Which measuring cup is the best? Liquid measuring cups typically come in 1-cup, 2-cup, or 4-cup sizes but can also be found in smaller and larger increments, depending on what you need to measure. Most liquid measuring cups are either plastic or glass and typically have the measurements painted onto the side in both standard and metric units. Some plastic cups have the measurements stamped on and painted to remain useful when the paint eventually wears off. PROFESSIONAL SET INCLUDES ALL ODD SIZES: This set comes with 7 stainless measuring cups: 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 1 cup, and a measuring spoon set of 7: 1/16 tsp, 1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 3/4 tsp, 1 tsp, 1 tbsp, and 1 bonus Leveler & 5 Mini Measuring Spoons to help you reduce any measuring errors for cooking, baking or coffee, get delicious food.

We love these because of the price, but also because they clip together so they don't get lost, and are dishwasher safe. Like many other OXO products, these measuring cups are made with soft non-slip grips for people who need a little extra help with mobility in the kitchen, and with the extra two pieces in this set, it's really a value price for a great 6-piece set of measuring cups. Measuring spoons are similar to measuring cups in that they are usually sold as a nested set with graduated sizes. The capacity is marked on each cup, so it’s easy to grab the right one for your recipe. When cooking is done, these are dishwasher-safe for super-simple cleanup every time. This set is also available with matching collapsible measuring spoons with 1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon, 0.5 teaspoon, and 0.25 teaspoon.This mini adjustable measuring cup measures 1.25 x 1.25 x 2.75 inches only. It is made with ABS and SAN plastic materials with a satin and silicone finish. It also measures metric or standard measurement for liquids, dry, and semi-solid ingredients. It has unique and also patented features, which allow you to adjust the cup to the size you need. It is space-saving and will help you remove the need for multiple measuring cups. The Good Liquid and dry ingredients can be measured with the same tool, but only if you're using a kitchen scale,” Pattap says. If you do want to add measuring cups to your kitchen arsenal, “a set of 4 to 6 cups is more than enough,” she says. You’ll also want to add in measuring spoons, too.

Instead of measuring dry ingredients out in cups, many people measure their ingredients using scales instead. This is particularly common in areas that use the metric system instead of the imperial system. For this reason, measuring glasses can be used for dry ingredients in a pinch, but it’s best not to use them if you have other measuring tools available. Whether you’re an avid cook or a beginner, having a set of measuring cups on hand for dry and liquid ingredients can make it much simpler to follow a recipe accurately, allowing you to measure the liquid volume or the solid mass of cooking or baking ingredients. They are made in a wide variety of styles, and materials, and for a range of uses.According to the manufacturers of the cups in our lineup, each model is designed for measuring liquid, dry, and semisolid ingredients. But when we measured water in the cups, we found that they all leaked at least slightly, which is not ideal when measuring thin liquids. 3. What measuring cup does Alton Brown use?

Semi-liquid ingredients, such as mayonnaise, sour cream, honey and peanut butter, should be measured in a dry measuring cup. Fill to top of cup and level for accurate measuring. The standard size of most dry measuring cups is 0.25 cup, 0.33 cup, 0.5 cup and 1 cup. Nonstandard sizes would be 0.125 cup, 0.66 cup, and 0.75 cup. What we love about this product is that it has a premium, high-quality food-grade material with ergonomic design. It’s adjustable where you can easily slide the adjustment button to measure ingredients. It’s space-saving with magnetic bottom for easy storage. The Bad No, each type is designed specifically for its intended use. Dry measuring cups are designed to be filled to the brim and leveled off, while liquid measuring cups are designed to be read at the liquid's meniscus. The surface tension of liquid would overfill or spill out in a dry cup, while a dry ingredient can't be leveled correctly in a liquid cup. Both would lead to inaccurate ingredient measurements and possibly ruined recipes. To measure out dry ingredients using a scale, turn the scale on and put the bowl you want to combine the ingredients in on the scale.

But Don’t Take My Word for It!

Measuring spoons are designed for measuring much smaller amounts of dry ingredients, so they are ideal for spices, salt, baking soda, or baking powder.

Clearly labeled: We looked for cups that had measurements stamped or etched on the handle. Printed measurements can rub off over time, and measurements stamped on the bottom or inside of a cup are impossible to read if there’s anything actually in the cup. Half-measurements marked on the sides of the cups can be helpful (especially if you want to wash fewer cups), but they aren’t essential. Measurements marked in milliliters as well as in cups are also useful for converting European recipes, but, again, we didn’t consider this to be crucial. Out of all the kitchen gadgets, measuring cups are a staple for home cooks. No matter the recipe, accurate measurements are crucial to preparing quality meals. Glass measuring cups are usually a bit taller than the largest volume they hold, which helps to reduce spills when measuring liquids. Liquid measuring cups can take up quite a bit of room, but this set will save you valuable cabinet space since the cups nest inside of each other. The colorful silicone bottoms help them stay level and secure on a countertop, so you don’t have to worry about them tipping or wobbling. Available in a 2-cup capacity: Although you can get liquid measuring cups in multiples sizes (most commonly 1 cup, 2 cups, and 4 cups), we focused on testing only 2-cup models. This is the most common size we see in home kitchens, and we think it’s the most useful: It’s more compact and easy to lift than an unwieldy 4-cup model and more versatile than a 1-cup model.What we love about this product is that it is unique among other measuring cups. The angled system lets you read the measurement from the top without even bending or holding the cup up! It’s super convenient, super easy, and won’t take much of your time. The Bad Measuring by weight ensures that whatever you make will rise and bake in the exact way you want because the ingredients will be measured exactly by weight instead of by volume. Stainless steel is easy to clean, dishwasher safe, won’t rust, and is extremely durable. The downside to this material is that it’s not microwave safe and can be on the heavier side.
