When I signed the lease for my first solo, roommate-free apartment in 2020, a few thoughts immediately entered my mind. To begin with, I was ecstatic about the prospect of having plenty of space for myself, myself, and I, not to mention the freedom to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted (without having to answer to anyone) within said space. Furthermore, I was ecstatic to have the opportunity to design an entire home that was decorated exactly how I wanted it, without having to consider anyone else’s preferences. But, as I was planning my dream home, it occurred to me that, without a roommate, I’d need to stock my kitchen with all the necessities myself, rather than dividing it up with someone else.
rather than splitting it with someone else Instead of being a source of stress, that opportunity allowed me to design kitchen cabinets filled with perfectly coordinated dishes, utensils, and glassware, as well as drawers and shelves stocked with all the gadgets needed to prepare a delicious meal. And, because I’m a little OCD, I insisted on sticking to a single, high-quality brand: OXO. As much as I adore OXO as a whole, some of their products really stand out. So, without further ado, allow me to introduce you to the OXO Angled Measuring Cups.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned chef, measuring spoons and cups are essential. With this in mind, I purchased a pair of OXO Good Grips 7-Piece Plastic Measuring Spoons and a pair of OXO Good Grips 6-Piece Plastic Measuring Cups. After adding them to my cart at Bed Bath & Beyond, I noticed the OXO Angled Measuring Cups. These measuring cups are sold in four sizes: 4 Tablespoons, 1 Cup, 2 Cups, and 4 Cups. They are innovatively designed with an angle so that you can accurately measure out ingredients while being able to easily read the amount from the side as well as the top.

While this may not seem like a big deal, consider how many times you’ve poured something into a traditional glass Pyrex measuring cup, only to have to crouch down to eye level or lift it up to see the measurements on the side. While this isn’t the most inconvenient process, it can result in longer prep times and the risk of accidentally spilling ingredients, especially if you’re working with liquids. As a result, using an angled measuring cup can save you the trouble of juggling your measured ingredients while attempting to pour out the perfect amount. Furthermore, because these cups come in a variety of sizes, they simplify the process for recipes that call for multiple tablespoons, cup fractions, or full cups.
Even though I have individual tablespoon and cup measures, I always reach for these unique plastic cups because of their convenient design and ability to be stacked together. I’m not alone in this! Thousands of customers vouch for these kitchen gadgets. No, seriously, over 19,000 Amazon customers have given the three larger OXO Angled Measuring Cups 5-star ratings, while another 4,600 have given the OXO Good Grips Mini Angled Measuring Cup the same glowing review. Needless to say, if you don’t already have these items in your cabinet, it’s time to start making some. You’ll be happy you did.
