Customer Reviews of Norpro Wonder Measuring Cup 1 Cup
Shines at one job, but fragile, so buy a backup (Rejected title: "More useful than a SuperBra, but better order a pair, anyway...")
This seems to be a literally one-size-fits-all, throw away all your measuring cups and spoons solution, but it isn't. If you think of it that way you'll be very disappointed. You will very quickly get frustrated pushing and pulling at the damn thing to move it up and down, and will even more quickly get tired of washing it out every time you need to measure one of the multiple ingredients for a recipe. Besides, with that amount of use it would wear out in no time.
But what it does, it does very well indeed, so you might seriously consider getting one, and for good measure [sic] throw in a backup while you're at it. It has one job in my kitchen, and that is to measure precise quantities of horrible sticky ingredients that previously caused me all sorts of messy grief.
Take molasses, take honey: push or pull the measuring piston to the correct mark (the marks on the cylinder are pleasingly laboratory-precise), then add the offending ingredient to very the top (no need to bend down to sight across it for the correct measure, or worry about the old high-school physics "meniscus" problem). Then upend the Wonder Cup over your mixing bowl and push the piston up to the top. That's it - just a quick rinse with plain water and you're done, knowing that exactly the amount you measured was delivered into the bowl.
Even better: Take shortening, butter, lard, and follow the above procedure, making sure to not leave any air-holes inside. Level off the measure with a knife, squeeze the piston, and every last milligram of your exact measure gets delivered. This time, a quick rinse with hot water (no detergent, please).
The "magic" comes from the piston, which works exactly the same way as the same item in a bicycle pump. However, for measuring foodstuffs in precise quantities, the tiny little membrane on the sides of the piston ends up being very fragile indeed. For longevity, I recommend NEVER removing the piston from the cylinder, which is rather hard to do because the bottom end of the cylinder is rather short. I also recommend that you always leave a thin film of oil on the cylinder for lubrication.
This review comes from my experience with my first one. As I destroyed it, I came up with the above recommendations. My second one has easily lasted two years, and I'd hate to be without it when I need to accurately measure goo.
