I can't imagine any other contenders.
Pour stuff in - digital measurement on handle.
Not sure about you folks but all my cheapy plastic cups end up having their side printed gradations erase over time.
It can even do imperial to metric conversions!
I want one!

That is a great invention! I do a lot of baking so that would certainly be very handy. But, I prefer glass measuring cups and I'd worry about washing it and whether the digital measurement would stop working. I'm sure the company thought of that and it isn't an issue, but I'd still worry nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Are people really this lazy!!! It's called by a glass measuring cup and use your brain!!! I have had my glass measuring cups for years upon years now and the writing has not rubbed out. I will agree it does on plastic ones, so invest the extra buck to get glass!!! This is just another gadget people don't need. Is it even water proof so you can wash it properly? I am disgusted at the use of digital technology today!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea and I'll tell you why. Portion control. Have you ever measured a cup of cereal and then looked at the calorie information on the box. Their 1 cup information is supposed to be a certain weight but if you then use a digital scale you usually find out that your 1 cup is over by 25%... I weigh all dry ingredients by scale now but I wouldn't have to with this!
ReplyDeleteOkay, maybe it's a lazy person's tool, but aren't all gadgets designed for lazy people. You could even say that a washing machine is for those people who are too lazy to wash their clothes by hand!!
ReplyDeletePersonally, if there's some funky twist to it, that will make me want to measure my food more often then it's a good idea!! I WANT ONE TOO!!
Found the measuring cup at Amazon for $30.00. Here's the link:

Thanks Anonymous - now I guess I'll have to buy him one...perhaps for his next birthday.
ReplyDeleteI want one, but it would be odd to ask for a digital measuring cup for christmas.
