The best liquid measuring cup

Don't worry - I wasn't cooking up any blue food when I took this picture. I simply colored some water with blue dye so that you could get a clear idea of how the OXO Angled Measuring Cups work . The plastic cups have and angled side that allows volumes to be read from above - so there is no need to lower yourself down to counter-level just to see if you've poured enough milk for your cake. They also have a convenient pouring spout, a comfortable, insulated handle and come in a wide range of sizes.

In addition to some of the larger sizes, I also have a 1/4 cup angled measure, which is perfect for up to 4 tablespoons of liquid. It is perfect for measuring those small amounts when a recipe calls for them, and not many of the more traditional measuring cups seem able to handle such a small volume, making it invaluable in my kitchen.

The liquid slops over or dribbles down the side so that it is very difficult to pour anything out of it without half of it ending up on the counter rather than the mixing bowl. I have one and would never buy one again.

They are especially good for older folks whose eyesight is not quite as great as it once was, like my Mom and Dad. They were hesitant when I first gave them the cups, but as soon as they started using them, they were like, "Why did no one think of this before?"
