Measuring Spoons and Measuring Cups for Home Use

"Spend the extra bucks and purchase stainless steelrather than buying plastic or those cheap tin ones that bend in your kitchen drawer."

Measuring Spoons & Measuring Cups

They all work the same, but just like the feel of the heavier ones. These are tools you will use a lot and have forever so why not get the best you can afford.

Measuring Cups

We should also include a glass measuring cup. Most of us are familiar with Pyrex and they make a very good one, but there are some other brands on the market that are just as good. I have two in my cabinet. A large one that measures 4 cups and a smaller one that measures two cups.

Here are a few of my favorite choices:

Here are a few of my favorite choices:

All-Clad 4-pc. Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons

See if they measure up! These stainless steel spoons are held together by a stainless steel ring, so none ends up missing. It also keeps each spoon easily accessible. The set includes 1/4-, 1/2-, 1-teaspoon, and 1-tablespoon measures. Dishwasher-safe.

6-c. Flameware Liquid Measuring Cup

This generously sized measuring cup is designed for liquids as well as dry ingredients. Because it is oven and microwave safe, you can also use it to melt butter, warm milk or boil water. You'll find it amazingly lightweight, and the elongated handle makes it easy to hold. 6-cup capacity.

Amco 4-pc. Measuring Cups

Go into any professional test kitchen and you'll find an array of measuring cups just like these: strong, durable, dishwasher-safe, constructed of 18/8 stainless steel, with clear size markings that make the job of controlling amounts practically foolproof.

Avoid flimsy dime-store plastic measuring cups and opt for a basic set that gives you the necessary 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup measures. Another word of advice: parents of young children may need to buy an extra set for the playroom--kids think they make a terrific set of miniature cooking pots.
