However, this means that you won’t be able to level the top of your dry ingredients when using a measuring glass, so you may not be measuring as accurately. A platform scale is a digital tool that you can use for many dry ingredients, particularly flour that needs to be sifted. Set the empty measuring cup on the scale and zero it out. We love these because of the price, but also because they clip together so they don't get lost, and are dishwasher safe.

Liquid measuring cups are generally clear or frosted and made of glass or plastic. While a dry measuring cup is accurate when leveled at the top, a liquid measuring cup gives you a bit of grace. All that's needed to get this measuring cup to the right amount is to push or pull, fill, and then push the plunger base up to expel the ingredients into a mixing bowl or pan. You're only left to scrape away the very top of the base, which speeds up prep time. A small digital scale is handy, but it’s hard to read when you set a roasting pan full of raw wild turkey on it.

Why I Love It

Instead of measuring dry ingredients out in cups, many people measure their ingredients using scales instead. This is particularly common in areas that use the metric system instead of the imperial system. A selection of plastic mixing bowls will not cost a great deal. If you can nest them in the cabinet, they also don’t take up a lot of room. On the outside, you should see markings for vinegar, oil, and other ingredients; many of these tools come with recipes printed on the side. Plastic measuring cups are generally not a good investment; they tend to become more opaque over time and don’t respond well to being left too close to a hot cooking surface.
