Pampered Chef Mini Measure All Cup

Great for measuring dry products

A good replacement for the sample product I have used for years.

Tired of spooning mayo into a measuring cup, trying to get it all out and into your recipe and then having to clean it? Yes, you still have to spoon the mayo into this thing, but you just push the inner cylinder and it shoves all of the mayo out without your having to scrape. Pop it into the dishwasher for cleaning or just use hot water. The inner cylinder scrapes enough of the mayo (or whatever gooey thing you're measuring) out that cleaning it is easier than a measuring cup.

This was purchased to replace a larger Pampered Chef measure-all that broke after 15 years of service. It slides much easier than the old one, and is actually more useable. With less capacity, the measurement graduations are more granular. Liquids drop into a cup, dry measurements are done by flipping the measure cup upside down. It does shortening easily. The liquid cup has a small pouring lip. The liquid side of the measuring cup is graduated in fractions of a cup from 1/4 to 1 cup, 1-8 fluid ounces, 1-10 tablespoons, 3-30 teaspoons, and 30-240 milliliters (mL). The dry side is graduated from 15-240 mL, 1-10 tablespoons, 3-30 teaspoons, and 1/4 - 1 cup. The cup is sealed against the measurement cylinder by a thin lip cast into the bottom of the cup, this lip slides against the cylinder and adequately (for now) seals, it doesn't leak. Made in the USA!

If the numbers didn't wear off, I'd give this item 5 stars.

This is my first time owning a measuring gadget of this sort and it works great. I basically bought it to measure peanut butter. It’s the perfect size for my small hands to maneuver it. Sometimes it hard to put back together after it’s washed. But that’s understandable because it has to have a tight fit to be able to push whatever you’re measuring out and it not seep back out into the cup. Yes, I would recommend.

Works great

I strongly debated whether I should return this product instead of keep it, but in the end I decided it was just functional enough that to meet its definition of "works", and this is an example of "buyer beware". Bad product andI would not recommend this product. The actual cup does not have a blue and red text color scheme, but rather green and slightly paler green. This makes it harder to read I feel and I would have preferred it was the color shown. But isn't a huge deal. The fact that cup is so hard to dislodge from its initial lock position however it's a big deal breaker. It seems like rather than having a cup fit snugly this measuring cup uses a small lip to lock the plunger in place when in the fully extended position. You have to push it down from the top and center of the plunger to get it to initially move and then you can slide it somewhat freely. This doesn't sound too bad, but in practice it's pretty annoying not to be able to just pull the plunger easily and for somebody who might have oily hands or is cooking, it is a big deal. Outside of those flaws It just feels kind of cheap. It does however measure, So in that respect it's functional. Overall, if it was less than $10, maybe it would be a reasonable purchase. But anything more than that and you're just getting ripped off. Also don't expect it to look like the photo. It looks a lot cheaper in real life and as mentioned the color scheme does not match.

This is a very good measuring cup although I would have preferred the writing on it to be clearer, perhaps in red, blue or black instead of green. It was my second order and I got the green one again, although the website showed blue and red. Disappointed.
