Today I was making a Peanut Butter Ball to take in to a friend and I realized that I NEED to share this awesome measuring cup. This particular one is called the Kitchen Art 2-Cup Measuring Adjust-A-Cup.
If I recall, I originally saw it on an episode of Good Eats with Alton Brown. He is one of my culinary heroes. He is one smart cookie!
Anyways, back to the measuring cup. It is the best thing ever for measuring sticky and gooey ingredients. You pull the plunger to the correct measurement and fill up the cup with your ingredient. Then you push the plunger back up and your ingredient comes right out. No mess or fuss. In this case it was sticky peanut butter, I needed to measure. I’ve also used it for honey and it works great for that too. (It’s also easy to clean too. That’s a must for me, I stink at doing the dishes!)
I’m not being paid or compensated in any way for this. I just really love this measuring cup. Christmas is coming up, so you can add it to your Christmas list. Or buy it now to make all your holiday baking easy.
You can click on the picture above to see it at Target. You can find it on Amazon too!
What are your must have kitchen gadgets??
I have one like it – it is from the Pampered Chef company.. you use one end like this one, for measuring sticky stuff, and you flip it over and use the other end for liquids.. it’s great!!
haha – what kitchen gadget don’t I have! I love my pizza scissors, my tamper, measuring shot glass, and my zester!
I’ve seen that handy tool on Good Eats quite a few times, but never gotten around to picking one up…hmmm…may have to make that a priority after the move.
I have two “must haves” in the kitchen, one is my big gigantic straight sided frying pan with lid, I make most dinners in it, the other is my K-tec blender…smoothies, yum!
