measuring cups

I love recipes and I enjoy following them precisely. Therefore, I use my measuring spoons and cups practically every time I cook. While I conveniently have two sets of measuring spoons, I only have one set of measuring cups. Since it's a hassle to constantly wash the cups, I simply want to get another set and I asked you to help me find it. You searched the Internet for stylish and compact measuring cups. The set I already own is white plastic, so you looked for cups that are different in color or material. You saved your finds in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Measuring Cups.

I'm totally digging scorpstar77's suggestion of these progressive magnetic measuring cups. According to her, the "shape makes them really easy to scoop in a canister or narrow box of ingredients." Magnets keep the cups together and make them easy to find. The best part is they're my signature color: YumSugar green. Thanks for sharing scorpstar77! For more measuring cups, please browse below.

You've made the switch to healthy cooking — olive oil instead of butter and whole grains instead of processed carbs — but you're not losing weight. Even if you're loading up on tons of healthy food choices, it won't matter if you are consuming tons of calories.

The best way to make sure you're eating appropriate serving sizes is to be scientific about it. Keep measuring cups and spoons handy when it comes to everything you prepare. Don't just eyeball a half a cup of granola or freely pour marinara sauce over your pasta. Chances are you'll overestimate and not even realize you're eating half a cup of almonds instead of a quarter cup serving. The same goes when you're cooking. Measure out two tablespoons of olive oil instead of just pouring it from the bottle. If you have items that are difficult to measure, such as meat, chicken, or fish, use a food scale instead. You don't have to be anal about it, just be aware. The extra small amounts of food you eat over time really add up, so if losing weight is on your mind, use measuring cups every time you eat.

In an attempt to help you become the ultimate hostess, I have created the Ultimate Bar. Each week I'll feature an essential item for the ideal at home bar. You may not know what a bar measure is (I didn't until my friend Sonia gave me one as a hostess gift), but once you do, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

A bar measure is a tool that bartenders and mixologists use to measure liquids. A measuring cup is to a baker as a bar measure is to the cocktail-er. This tool is especially helpful to the bartending beginner. Until you learn more about ratios of alcohol to mixers, I recommend following the amounts stated in your recipes. You don't need anything fancy, this bar measure also serves as a shot glass and for only $2.99 the functionality will beat out the price in a week. The one Sonia gave me is similar to this glass, but is a little bit larger and I use it every time I try out a new cocktail recipe.

If you're in the mood for something a little more snazzy (your guests could see this while you are entertaining!), look at these other options. read more
