Customer Reviews of Tovolo Hemisphere Measuring Cups, 5-Piece Set
Customer Rating:  Summary: Stylish Measuring Comment: Well designed, attractive and very useful. These measuring tools are great, a little on the heavy side, but that speaks to the quality of the metal. I love the ring that keeps them steady on the counter and the dual usage of cup and spoon! Customer Rating:  Summary: heavy weight, variable quality, would not purchase again Comment: much heavier than expected, smooth and shiny inside, brushed matte outside. partial measurement markings on inside are nice touch but some of them aren't clearly imprinted (think old fashioned typewriter where part of the die didn't strike) -- i.e. "30mL" just has lower half of 3 and 0. I'm sure I'll misplace the donut and be annoyed at some point for not being able to stand the cups on their own, but like having something different than standard measuring cups. Will probably get a set of normal flat cups as well! ADDENDUM -- I've had these a while now. So when I contacted them about the poorly stamped cup, they replaced the one cup. However, the new one is really over-stamped (like an old-fashioned typewriter, the o's and a's are filled in), and the handle is much thinner; the lip around the measuring spoon part is wayyyyy thinner than the original set. The shiny inside surface scratches easily. Overall, they're still interesting cups, but the quality seems to vary considerably. Also, they don't stack well. The three smaller cups dip into the largest at a sharp angle and they swing around at different angles. A novelty item but definitely would not purchase again unless they were on super clearance for five bucks or so. More Reviews short description 
Choosing Appliance -> Convection Ovens Convection ovens allow you to bake more foods (cookies, muffins, etc.) at once with even browning, but without the need to shift and rotate pans. A convection oven is the same as a conventional oven except a fan is installed in the back interior of the oven. The fan is used to blow and force the heat to circulate in the oven and around the food, thus eliminating the need to rotate and shift pans. In reality, though, even with the most expensive convection ovens, you will still need to rotate your foods, because there will always exist still hot spots in the cavity, because the cavity is small. Don't compare home convection ovens with most commercial convection ovens used by bakers and small food manufacturers, because their commercial ovens are much larger than home ovens and commercial ovens don't have any hot spots and therefore, there's no need to shift and rotate pans. Choosing Appliance -> Sinks Consider which accessories might be beneficial. Many models can be supplied with a draining basket, chopping board and strainer bowls. A drainer extension can be useful for sinks without a drainer where worktop space is limited in a small kitchen. Tovolo Hemisphere Measuring Cups, 5-Piece Set
Kitchen tips -> Cut raw meat When trying to cut thin slices or strips of raw meat, it is easier if you put the meat into the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour before cutting to help firm up the meat, or if the meat was frozen, slice it before it is completely thawed |
