Getting A Handle
What's wrong with this picture?
Look closely...
Yes, you are looking at two - TWO! - 1 cup measuring cups without handles.
Why? Why do the handles keep breaking off? Why is it always the 1 cup size? Not the 1/4 cup. Not the 1/3 cup. Always the 1 cup!
I could blame it on quality with the black cup. It's part of one of those cheapo sets where you get the cups and the spoons for about a dollar. But the white one is part of my nice KitchenAid set! What is THAT about?
And now since (for whatever reason) my family can not seem to keep a 1 cup measuring cup with a handle on it, I have a new dilemma to ponder: Do I just keep buying inexpensive sets - knowing full good and well that the handle is going to snap off? Or do I risk purchasing another more expensive set and worry that the handle will break off this one also?
For now... I think I will just be handle-less.
I can't say I've ever had a handle break off a measuring cup. Too funny that it's always the 1-cup. Good luck with your dilemma. :)
ReplyDeleteI know, it's crazy right? I can't figure out what is going on. I've gone years and suddenly in the past month - TWO broken! Thanks for visiting and commenting Clarinda!
DeleteI meant to tell you that I have now gone to metal measuring cups. I hated the broken handles etc. I am a big baker and they drove me nuts. I spent good money on a set of all clad ones, and they are AMAZING. I got them at Williams Sonoma. I was skeptical, but let me tell you, these suckers will be passed down a few generations. (Also, a good weapon..ha ha ha.)
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I might have to take a look at those!
