COOKING HOUR: Measuring cups and spoons

Measuring cups and spoons are quite essential for measuring ingredients. Be it for baking or for everyday cooking I used them for measuring dry and wet ingredients. I find it easy and convenient to use cup measures than gram measures for which we need kitchen weighing scale to measure each time.

I had already posted measuring cups and spoons that I was using earlier but those are no longer in use. So this is an an updated post with the new set I am using for the past few years.

Many of you keep requesting to post the measuring cups and spoons I use so thought to make a seperate post, video for it. None of the items mentioned here are sponsored, I have given the links as many kept asking me the whereabouts of it. This is my first voice over video posted in youtube channel, Hope you like it.

All the measuring cups that I am using has 1 CUP measure = 250 ml – Yes I measured each one seperately.

Measuring cups – 1 CUP, 1/2 CUP, 1/3 CUP and 1/4 CUP

Measuring spoons – 1 TBSP, 1 TSP, 1/2 TSP, 1/4 TSP

The gold color set of measuring cups and spoons(gold with wooden handle) are from Crate and Barrel US. I have to mention this as my friend Sowmya travelled from her city to another just to buy this. Luckily it was on a sale and it costed me around 1800 Rs. These will always be very special and favorite to me!

These are not brass / bronze as you had asked. It has a gold color satin finish with acacia wooden handle. It has measure markings on the handle. Had been using it for most of my videos and they are very sturdy, the finish is still good as new. But I should admit that I use it only for my videos not for everyday use. I use soft crub to wash it and its handwash only. The only thing I see now is the markings on the handle have started to fade after several washes.

I use these cups and spoons for most of my cooking videos.

I was looking to show some sort of variation in my baking measures so was looking for ceramic measuring cups and spoons. Previously I was using a plastic one with different colors but it was difficult to measure hot ingredients as hot in plastic is a big no no to me. So thats when I saw these ceramic measuring cups and spoons in Omega exclusive and bought them through whats app for around 740 Rs.

These are very pretty and attractive. It has measure markings printed inside the cups. The main disadvantage is the handle is too small to hold so it might slip and fall when pouring. Also it came only with measuring cups and not spoons. These are dishwasher safe.

I was deperately searching for a ceramic measuring spoons to match the above one but couldnt find one. So what I suggest is to buy a complete set of measuring cups and spoons as each cup and spoon measure is different.

When I was searching for a ceramic set found these in desertcart but had no friends travelling down especially at this situation. It was a bit pricey in desertcart so was waiting for a chance to grab it at discount. Luckily there was a millenium offer which saved me from shipping charge so the full set costed me 3200 Rs.

These are actually stoneware and not ceramic. These are dishwasher safe and very sturdy. And I absolutely love using them.

And for liquid measures I use these 2 glass measuring jugs. They are very convenient to use. I use them not only for measuring but for mixing liquids, cake batter, pancake batter etc.
