This Is the Best Way to Measure Sticky Ingredients

As the weather cools down, we’re spending more and more time cozying up at home. This is the best time of year to be a baker — what better excuse to avoid the cold than by warming up next to a hot oven full of seasonal treats and sweets? The worst part of baking is undoubtedly the cleanup, especially when recipes call for viscous and sticky ingredients that tend to cling to measuring spoons and cups.

Luckily, this OXO gadget offers an easier way to work with these ingredients. If you plan on baking your way through the fall, snag this plunging OXO measuring cup while it’s 35% off.

OXO Good Grips Adjustable Measuring Cup

Like many OXO Good Grips gadgets, this tool simply makes life in the kitchen easier. Thanks to its generous 2-cup capacity and ability to measure dry, solid, and even wet ingredients, this might just be the last measuring cup you’ll ever need to buy. The rounded rim allows you to accurately measure and pour liquid ingredients without spilling them over the edge. It’s especially great for what one shopper called “soquid” (solid and liquid) foods like yogurt, honey, and pumpkin purée.

The OXO adjustable measuring cup is incredibly user-friendly. All you have to do is pull the plunger back to your desired volume line, twist to lock it into place, and load it with your ingredients. When you push the plunger forward, the ingredients “will just plop right out,” according to a shopper review. Best of all, you won’t be stuck scooping remnants off the bottom or sides. 

Another Amazon reviewer noted that the gadget dispenses the “exact amount” you’ve measured out “with no scraping” required. Not only does it produce less mess, but it’s easy to clean. Unlike most measuring cups, there are no nooks and crannies for food to get stuck in. The cylindrical tool comes apart into two dishwasher-safe pieces, so you’ll hardly have to lift a finger.

Not only is the adjustable measuring cup well-designed, but it’s a great way to save cabinet space. Thanks to its versatility, this one $10 tool can replace wet and dry measuring cup sets, so you can clear out some much-needed space for cookware and other kitchen essentials. In fact, dozens of shoppers said it inspired them to toss their old mismatched sets.

This OXO Good Grips measuring cup makes baking with stubborn ingredients a breeze, too. One shopper said “it’s a great tool to measure things that aren’t easy to measure, like yogurt or sour cream.” Another happy shopper said it “works great with sticky molasses, corn syrup, peanut butter.” 

Streamlining cleanup and measuring ingredients accurately are essential first steps to baking all season long, which is why more than a thousand shoppers have purchased this adjustable measuring cup in the past month alone. Head to Amazon now to save 35% on yours.
