Precision and perfection in the kitchen starts with the right equipment. In order to nail the recipe on the first try, (I mean, who has the time to make something more than once?) you’ll need proper measuring instruments and a liquid measuring cup is a must. Coupled with dry measuring cups and spoons, a liquid measuring cup makes it easy to measure ingredients, especially liquid ones (obviously). Mixing up batters for cakes or homemade waffles is made simple when you can see how much you’re actually distributing. If you don’t want to seem like a novice in the kitchen, even if you are one, you should check out any of these five liquid measuring cups before you start mixing.
