I used to hate measuring ingredients. Not because it stifled my culinary creativity or because I dislike being super precise. Quite simply, I hate washing dishes.
Not to be super dramatic or anything, but OXO’s adjustable measuring cup changed my life. Here’s how:
It can measure anything and everything.
Before, I loathed using numerous measuring cups so much that whenever I made cookies, I’d use my 1/4 cup instead of my 1/2 cup or 1 cup. The problem with this was that I'd lose count, freak out, and need to re-measure. Now I can measure anything from 1 tablespoon up to 2 cups in one go.
The clear cup makes it easy to measure accurately. Dry ingredients go all the way to the top; liquids have another marker. Don't worry, the distinction is super clear.
It’s both a liquid and dry measuring cup.
Before this adjustable tool, did I ever measure liquid in a dry measuring cup? Yes, all of the time. But I never measured dry ingredients in liquid measuring cup. It’s so much harder to measure flour accurately when you’re not able to level the top. You're able to level with this tool. You're also able to pour easily thanks to the small spout.
Clean up is super easy.
It's easy to take apart and separate into 2 pieces. And it’s dishwasher safe! You don't have to worry about rusting like you would nice looking steel or copper cups.
Sticky ingredients are easy to work with.
Using a spatula or spoon to get all of the honey or peanut butter out of the cup is the WORST. More dishes! Some people use cooking spray to grease the cups beforehand, but I never remember to.
You bet this tool makes it easier. Twist the bottom of the cup and literally push the ingredient out into the bowl. Everything will come out much more easily, softened butter included!
