Customer Reviews of KitchenArt Pro 1 Cup Adjust-A-Cup, Champagne Satin Finish
Customer Rating: Summary: KitchenArt Pro 1 Cup Adjust-A-Cup, Champagne Satin Finish Comment: NOT THAT GREAT - FLIMSY FOR THE PRICE...I CAN SEE THE MARKINGS COMING OFF...AWFUL FOR SPOONING INGREDIANTS INTO IT SUCH AS SUGAR, FLOUR, ETC. AND THE MEASUREMENT SEAL DOES NOT HOLD WELL WHEN USING HONEY, ETC...LOST IT'S GRIP AFTER THE FIRST WASHING...I WASTED MY MONEY ON THIS... Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect for honey Comment: Alton is a something of a hero to me, but I was using a version of this long before there was a food network or the internet. I ordered my first one of this type from a printed version of The Bakers Catalog (King Arthur Flour Company). I can't imagine using anything else to measure honey or other sticky ingredients. I also like it for thicker items like pumpkin or squash purees - the clear cylinder means you can make sure you don't have air pockets and getting the product out is a snap. I also like it for measuring yogurt. I don't use much shortening or solid butter, but this would be great for that too. Beside how it preforms, I do like the fact that it's easy to clean and it gets a work out in my kitchen! While the max measure is one cup, I don't care for the stability of the item for anything over 3/4 cup, but I don't count that against the item too much. I think it just means I'll have to buy the larger volume version too! Customer Rating: Summary: If it's good enough for Alton... Comment: I bought this after watching Alton Brown use a similar model on "Good Eats." Like him, I use it for sticky ingredients like honey, molasses or large quantities of mustard; the plunging action maximizes the amount that makes it into your mixing bowl or pan. It's easy to disassemble and clean, and doesn't take up too much space in the cupboard. More Reviews Requested by several of our guests, we're happy to add this item to our list of handy cook's tools. The Adjust-a-Cup Measuring Cup is perfect for messy ingredients like shortening, peanut butter, honey, or heavy syrups, but you can use it with equally pleasing results with both wet and dry ingredients like milk and flour. There are several ways to use this tool. First, use it to measure a single item such as peanut butter: simply lift the outer, clear plastic sleeve until you see the desired measurement, fill, then (using the interior, aluminum canister as a plunger) push the ingredient out as you hold onto the plastic outer sleeve. You can also use it to measure several ingredients at once: after filling with your first ingredient, move the sleeve up to the desired measurement of your second ingredient, fill, then continue until all ingredients are inside. Then push them out into your bowl. The Adjust-a-Cup Pro replaces 6 conventional measuring cups. This smart tool measures in pints, cups, ounces, and milliliters. It's sleeve easily slides and seals for liquid and dry ingredients. It is great for sticky ingredients like shortening, honey, or peanut butter. It is made from durable metal and polymer for a long life and it is dishwasher safe. Large 1 Cup Capacity! Choosing Appliance -> Energy-Efficient Refrigerators The EnergyGuide label on new refrigerators will tell you how much electricity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) a particular model uses in one year. The smaller the number, the less energy the refrigerator uses and the less it will cost you to operate. In addition to the EnergyGuide label, don't forget to look for the Energy Star label. A new refrigerator with an Energy Star label will save you between $35 and $70 a year compared to the models designed 15 years ago. This adds up to between $525 and $1,050 during the average 15-year life of the unit. Choosing Appliance -> Ladles Look for ladles that are made of one piece of stainless steel rather than a handle and dome which are spot welded together. With use, spot welded ladles tend to come apart. Buy several differnet sizes. KitchenArt Pro 1 Cup Adjust-A-Cup, Champagne Satin Finish Kitchen tips -> Eggs
