Measuring cups are not strictly necessary, but they makes cooking easier. Especially if you are using recipes from around the world, with both metric and imperial measurements.
It is nice to have a measuring cup that is just the right size.
I bought my Pyrex Glass Bowls around the same time as the Pyrex Glass Measuring jug – some 20 years ago – and they are all still in daily use in the kitchen.
We are now in the month of March, which means spring is here and it is time to prepare for the eminent summer. If you are fond of grilling as I am, then maybe this BlueTherm Thermometer is an essential equipment for you as well.
