If you've ever tried measuring peanut butter, honey or mayo in a regular cup, you already know the problem — half of it sticks inside and the rest needs scraping with a spoon. This is the clear push-base measuring cup you've probably seen and wondered about. It has a button on the handle that moves the inner base up like a piston, so you can set different quantities in one cup and then push the ingredient right out. The watertight seal also helps scrape the sides clean as the base moves, which is why it works especially well for sticky ingredients along with flour, sugar and liquids. Handy for baking, meal prep, coffee recipes and anyone who hates washing three different measuring cups for one dish. It shows up useful in small kitchens too, because one tool covers 1 cup, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 cup measurements. Expensive for a measuring cup, yes, but it does the job of multiple tools and wastes less ingredient.
If you've ever tried measuring peanut butter, honey or mayo in a regular cup, you already know the problem — half of it sticks inside and the rest needs scraping with a spoon.
It's also commonly called adjustable measuring cup, scrape up measuring cup, push base measuring cup and piston measuring cup.
