🥄 OXO Good Grips 2 Cup Adjustable Measuring Cup: Effortless Precision in Your Kitchen Review

This is my mother's favorite but I rarely use mine. I prefer to use drying cups for dry foods, measuring jars for liquids and cold water displacement, or semi-solid oils like shortening or peanut butter. This is great for honey and molasses. Reliably holds liquids, does not leak. Not too difficult to clean but definitely needs to be taken apart every time it is cleaned. This would be a good space saver if you don't want to worry about dry cups or jugs around the house. But if you already have…

Many of the energy bar recipes I make often call for nut butter or agave syrup, both of which are sticky, gooey substances. I was tired of messing up measuring cups and spatulas to put a goo and then get out of the cups again so I decided to give it a try. Wonderful! Yes, you'll need a spatula to pour the nut butter or goo into the measuring cup, but turning it upside down will cause the stuff to curl up in the mixing bowl. Easy to use, your hands stay clean. When you're done, you can soak it…

I don't usually think twice before buying an OXO product, but now I will. Grooves are unnecessary and difficult to clean. The numbers would also be easier to read if they were a little bigger and bolder. The most disappointing thing was that I knocked it off the counter and it broke; It's made of cheap plastic. I contacted the company twice and nobody answered. Oh good. Edited 12/7: I received an email from Oxo offering a free replacement, although accidental breakage/damage is not covered…

I like this product as Alton Brown uses something similar, the only thing that bothers me is that liquids are a bit difficult to pour without something to spill. I wish it had a little lip to pour liquids smoothly. I also wish the liquid fill line wasn't so close to the top. Trying to pour it out nicely when the liquid fill line is so close to the top is almost counter-intuitive. I had to counter this by measuring exactly what I needed and then lowering it so I had a little more wiggle room…

I bought it because it had such good reviews. I have to say I hate it. I can see how useful this can be for fixed measurements of things like butter, peanut butter, cream cheese, etc. For liquids, however, it's TERRIBLE. Because when it measures top to bottom it makes a HUGE mess when you try to pour the liquid, it spills everywhere and doesn't even make it into the container you pour it in. So I tried measuring the liquid and then rolling it down to make room at the top, but I either…

Possibly a great product. I like everything about it, but I have small flaws. The white plastic butt looks like a solid cylinder at first glance, but upon closer inspection it is four curved pieces glued into a cylinder with four vertical seams running the length. The one I received wasn't perfectly aligned when glued on, creating a kind of speed bump when the cylinder was pushed through the body. The turning channel has a small protrusion at each seam. It works, but it's definitely not a…

I remember Alton Brown recommending this measuring cup but I have in the past given it up in favor of regular Pyrex dry measuring cups or 4 fountain cups Glass measuring cup. But our Pyrex measuring cup broke recently so I went back to this one. I thought it might be worth a try. The first few times I used it it was really great. It held liquid without leaking and was very easy to use. I didn't completely disassemble it when washing. My husband wasn't keen on it, and when my kids were washing…

I use it for sticky things like honey, peanut butter, crisco butter, etc. But I've found a new use for it. My husband has lost his left arm and is wearing a brace on his right arm due to the Middle East War. When we had burritos from a Mexican restaurant, he had such a hard time picking up the burritos and putting them down without something falling out. He wants to stay independent and hates asking me to return his toppings or just get him a burrito. One night as we were having burritos for…
