Tools to measure ingredients in the kitchen
Measuring cups
One of the best dry measuring cups in the market today are from OXO. They are heavy-duty and can hold together with a magnet to keep them from toppling over when you store them.
They also sit flat on the counter to make them easy to pour ingredients into without any risk of tipping over.
I also own a fancy set of measuring cups from Kate Spade New York.
Measuring spoons
I love this set of stainless steel measuring spoons that I bought on Amazon a long time ago.
If you want to purchase a 9-pieces set of measuring cups and spoons, here is the one I own.
Liquid measuring cups
To measure liquids, you need a set of glass Pyrex measuring cups. It is always ideal to have a one-cup liquid and a two-cup liquid measuring cup.
Kitchen scale
I primarily create and make recipes measuring ingredients with a kitchen scale. The one I own is from Escali.
It has a glass surface that is leakproof and easy to clean. The scale gives weight readings in 0.1 oz. (1 g) increments.
And I love the colors in Escali scales! You can choose between a variety of different hues, so no matter what your taste is there is an option for you.
Moreover, if you ever need to convert grams to cups, the grams to cups conversion charts will help you.
