Measuring Cup
Everyone has their own preference to something and this is one of mine. Measuring cups feel like a necessity when I’m baking instead of dropping all liquids in the bowl before mixing you can just do it all in the cup. Let me be specific I like using one of two types I try my best to keep up with practice at home also Metal or NSF plastics. Glass is full of trouble especially with any accidents, why would we want that clean up?
But when you put your foot down and durability your looking at Metal.
A Min of 4 Cups should be in the house that way you can fit all you need in it and the link I provided includes Chilled wines (8 Cups is Best) when needed.
Can’t go wrong if you have it for date night.
Everything in baking should be measured, yes, I understand your grandmother might seem like she wasn’t but in a way she had a method of measuring. In these days you want consistency and the only way to get that is keeping up with your measurements.
