Wanting to make sure I was doing it right, I was told that I should be able to stand and look directly down to see if the measurement was correct, and indeed it showed slightly higher than the 1 cup measurement line. The one cup measure, measured just slightly above the line on the inside measurement. Then I poured the liquid from the Pyrex cup into the Pampered Chef easy read liquid measuring cup. So first, I measured out one cup of juice into the Pyrex liquid measuring cup, like I normally do, bending down at eye level to ensure it was exact on the line. We decided to test them out to see if they were really accurate. Today I was showing my mom when she came over about how excited I was about being able to bend down less when in the kitchen. So I reluctantly and excitedly ordered the cups, being extremely hopeful that they would work out, be accurate and make my baking easier and safer. So I was thinking that having a measuring cup like this would be convenient for someone like me, preventing the amount of times I need to bend down and stand back up. It makes me very dizzy and sometimes I will fall or get extreme neuralgia pain from the movements or even pass out. I have Multiple Sclerosis and Trigeminal Neuralgia, so bending down, leaning down and standing back up is very difficult for me. I was still skeptical on whether they are accurate with measurements, but I wanted to try them out. They are very attractive looking and they nestle inside each other, making it easy and efficient to store in your cupboards. These cups have been around for a few years and they now come in 3 different sizes, the 1 cup size the 2 cup size and the 4 cup size. At the party, they were demonstrating their liquid measuring cups that you can measure and see the measurement by looking directly down and lining up the liquid with the inside line, by just looking down, no need to bend down to eye level. So, I got off subject, now back to the topic at hand. Believe me, this little $6 wooden gadget saves the day and it is worth the investment.

When I go to gluten free shows or baking demonstrations I will often bring mini pies and I will make about 400-500 of these pies. It forms the perfect mini pie crust even on all sides and saves time, makes perfect shaped mini pies, and saves your fingers from getting sore too. Then you use the shaper to press into the center of the dough, and then lift up. It’s about $6.00 or so and basically you roll about a 1 1/2 inch ball of pie dough and place it into a non stick mini muffin tin. I love going to Pampered Chef parties and my kitchen is filled with all sorts of kitchen gadgets that I have collected over the last 20 years. I have been skeptical of the accuracy of these cups for many years.Ī couple weeks ago, a friend invited me to her Pampered Chef Party. Over the years, several companies have come out with a liquid measuring cup that has the measurement on the inside spout of the glass, claiming you don’t need to get eye level, you just look down at the glass and if the ingredient is level with the line then it is accurate. Being eye level is important for an accurate measurement. For liquid measurements, you fill the ingredient to the line, get eye level with the glass and make sure the liquid is exactly level with the line. So this is what I have used for 20 years. Okay, so back story, during cooking classes all through middle school and high school (yes they did those back in my day) and also in classes at cooking school, I learned that you use high quality glass measuring cups or Pyrex glass measuring cups for measuring liquids ingredients. I find it my job, my mission to make gluten free baking easier for you, but sometimes in order to do that I have to make you aware of when it might not make your life easier. Hello friends!
