I always pour liquids in the sink, or at least over a bowl, whether for measuring or for any other purpose.

For measuring liquid, we bent the metal cup a little to measure for example, oil. We would pour the oil in a clean jar and dip it out when needed. If you don't want to do that, make sure the cup is over a bowl before poring the liquid in, just in case you spill. We used to mark the metal cup on the back of the handle with puff paint, which doesn't come off when washing it. 1/4 cup would have four little marks, etc. Just a thought. Everyone has their own way of doing things. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, February 21, 2020 10:30 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Marie Rudys Subject: Re: [CnD] Measuring tips No, the metal cups don't have braille on them And the ones I used to have were like miniature saucepans. You only get four standard measuring cups in the metal sets. I lost ine along the way, but I have two Sets of plastic ones, the Pourfect ones and a regular set I picked up From a grocery store when I got my last apartment in Reno, Where I hated to live and could not afford to move back to California at the time. I eventually moved back To California in 2001, taking that one set of measuring cups with me. I never replaced my metal ones.

Many Thanks.

My metal ones hang on a hook by the sink so I always know where to find them. (They're next to a set of nested funnels, also positioned so I can always find them) Setting up your kitchen with specific locations for things means you won't have to try to find something, because you'll know where it's supposed to be.

There are nine different measuring cups in that set, And eleven different sized measuring spoons, all with braille on them.

I'm curious to know the following. Are the measuring cups made out of heavy hard plastic, or made out of stainless steel? I'm thinking of picking up a set of the measuring cups and spoons for myself. So, many thanks.
