Fuzzy, I have been verifying my measuring cup accuracy. I have four cups that undermeasure by about 3%. The silicone two cup beaker has a scale that make it easier to get an accurate reading; it may be that the silicone minimizes the meniscus. It is also spot on for accurate measurements. As I said before, it does not collapse when picked up but is easy to squeeze for an accurate pour. Tim |

Tim, Sounds like this is a better grade of silicone measuring cup. |

So when DH asks me how in the world I'd need another scale in addition to my OXO, I'm going to say it's all Becca's fault, with Tim as a co-conspirator  Emilie |

I used to buy cars at police auctions in Prince George County, Maryland (just outside of DC). Once I bought a BMW that was painted flat black and that had a lab-quality gram scale in the trunk. I just can't imagine what that might have been used for...

Ha! I use it mostly for soap/lotion. You have to be very precise with lye and preservative, but I love having it for cooking as well. The trick is finding a container light enough to tare. |
