Measure sauces, dressings or marinades completely in this single vessel.Please note this item is not microwave safe.

Amazon.com Review
This is a single measuring cup that will replace the others floating around your kitchen--even the teaspoons! Cone-shaped, with a sturdy base and tight-fitting lid, this little beaker is perfect for those recipes with odd amounts, such as "two cups plus one tablespoon." There's a lip around the top edge that acts beautifully as a spout--no dripping when pouring liquids, from water to beaten egg yolks. Measurements include pints, cups, ounces, ml/ccm, tablespoons, and teaspoons, and all are written clearly in black print. The lid fits snugly enough that you can snap it on and shake the beaker for easy mixing of ingredients. --Jill Lightner

5 out of 5 stars Use it every day   January 6, 2009
E. D. Jacobsen (Bellevue, WA USA)
I use it every day and am glad I have it. It is easy to read and has many different volume units. Prior to buying this from Amazon a few years ago I had to have 2 sets of measuring cups to avoid messes when I needed to measure the same quantity of a liquid and a solid.


2 out of 5 stars Not So Perfect Beaker   December 24, 2008
GWMC (AR, USA)
I used to have one of these, until the flimsy plastic split down the side. It would be nearly perfect if it were made of Pyrex.


4 out of 5 stars Helpful but could be better   December 20, 2008
Michael E. Mecomber
I found this tool to be helpful, especially for liquid measures. The conversion from unit to unit, built into the device, is awesome.

For dry measuring however, this tool is probably not ideal. If you primarily need a dry measure, get something else.



3 out of 5 stars Avoid the dishwasher?   December 12, 2008
P. Nofel (Cleveland, OH)
I bought this measuring cup after seeing Alton Brown use it on his "Good Eats" series. It's the most-used measuring device in my kitchen since it has gradiations for about every measuring unit on earth. But, unless the manufacturer has improved it since I bought mine, I wouldn't get it again: it hazed and crackled after cleaning in the dishwasher.

Also, the cuplike base makes it nearly impossible to position in the dishwasher in a stance where it won't accumulate and hold water.

Add to that, the gradiation measures are oddly offset from the tick marks, so it's not immediately intuitive as to whether there's a 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 cups in the thing.

But, given those flaws it's still much easier to use that standard glass measuring cups or individual measuring cups.

Whoever heard of creating a kitchen measuring device that couldn't stand up to a dishwaher?



5 out of 5 stars Versatility-Wet / Dry Measure   October 1, 2008
John Drake (New Orleans, Louisiana)
I don't even look for my old glass measures. I use this for liquids and dry measures such as milk, water, flour, rice, etc. Accurate and simple to use. The lid is good when you need to store in the fridge without having to worry about spills or getting out some plastic wrap. I'm probably going to buy another one later. Thanks to foodie Alton for this find.
