I've ben measuring liquids inaccurately for 40years! But the truth is that very often, I ad a tiny bit more anyway. I will check out the Pampered Chef measures. Accuracy matters more in some recipes than others.

I tested it with my kitchen scale and both the dry measuring cup and the Pyrex cup I have. The difference isn't enough to throw off the recipe … not that I've noticed, anyway. Pampered Chef has a set of six prep bowls with raised print numbers and lines. The numbers are just big enough for me to identify tactually, so I use it for measuring liquid when I need to be precise. I use a clean finger on the inside of the prep bowl. When I'm just wanting to get it done, I grab the dry measuring cups. You can mark a Pyrex cup by wrapping stretchy silicone tape, the kind used by plumbers, around the outside of the cup. The tape's an inch wide, so you'd need to cut it to be able to work with the cup and mark off smaller sections. The tape is waterproof and heatproof--I've stuck my adapted cup in the microwave a few times and the tape hasn't moved. Of course you'd need working eyes to do this. Borrowed ones, like the ones belonging to the husband who loves home-baked cookies, work great.
