You know those days when you cook and it looks like a hurricane just blew through your kitchen? Pots here, pans there, and plenty of drips everywhere. There are days when we clumsily drop key utensils and end up doing things in a completely makeshift way. And we rarely come out of the experience unscathed (there's a scar or splatter stain from almost every culinary undertaking).
So we were intrigued when we came across this measuring cup set from iSi. They’re different from any measuring cups we’d seen before for one main reason: They’re made of flexible silicone. And here’s why that’s so nifty:
- You can pinch the end to form a big or small spout to pour with precision (less mess)
- You can fill them with boiling hot liquids, then grab them right with your hands (no burns)
- The rubbery surface is a little sticky so they're very easy to grip (no butterfingers)
