I like my glass measuring cups but the printing on them has really disappeared over time. Does anyone have a measuring cup that they love?

    Once a month? May I ask about your methods in the kitchen?

    I use my measuring cup nearly every day, sometimes twice a day, primarily for measuring carbs (pasta, quinoa, couscous, oatmeal) but also water and veggies (lentils, beans).

    Reading that back - sorry if the question sounds aggro, no shade at all I’m really just curious about how people are running their setup. FWIW I randomly inherited some ancient no-name measuring cups from my late grandmother; they have embossed glass markers that will never wear away. I really love them

      Try measuring your dry goods (including your legumes) by weight, if your recipes don’t give weights then spend an afternoon measuring and converting the volumes to weights or you can lookup common conversions. It will be significantly more repeatable for recipes where it matters (baking mostly but also if you are trying to track nutrition content).

      Hey, no big deal!

      Mostly we use the singular measuring cups. We can’t seem to keep them for long because kids are right on stuff. I’m not really sure if I have a full set of cups.

      Also, when we cook, it’s pretty loose to the recipe. The exception is baking.
