Kitchen gadget: OXO measuring cups

OXO angled measuring cups. (Noelle Carter)

There is nothing more frustrating when measuring ingredients than trying to get the liquid measures just right. I always hated having to stoop down to gauge the measurements on the side of the measuring cups, or struggling to make sure the measuring cup was level if I tried to bring it to eye level. Which is why I can’t praise the angled measuring cups from OXO enough.

The angled surface on the inside of the cups are easily marked with both ounces and milliliters, so you can measure from above, without having to bend, scrutinize and adjust. And I love it. The cups come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 1/4 cup to 4 cups (1 quart), perfect whether you’re assembling a cocktail or measuring for a cake. Even better? They’re dishwasher safe.

OXO angled measuring cups come in a variety of capacities. Prices vary by size, but generally range from $5 to $8 per cup. The cups are also available for sale as sets.
