Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenArt Pro 2 Cup Adjust-A-Cup, Champagne Satin Finish
Customer Review: Good idea, but...
Summary: 2 Stars
I got one of these after Alton Brown raved about it. I find the outer sleeve tends to slowly, slowly slip down when there are liquid ingredients, resulting in the ingredients oozing or flowing over the device. The other day I wound up with ketchup all over the "adjust-a-cup" as I tried to measure ingredients for a barbecue sauce.
I guess this works with dry ingredients, but then, why would you need it for dry ingredients?
Customer Review: It's easy to clean
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've always wanted one of these, but have been skeptical about how easy it is to clean, don't worry. It comes apart and can be placed in the top rack of your dishwasher. I've had mine for years, and even though it's not an everyday item, you'll be grateful you have it when measuring out molasses. It's a great gift for the baker in the family.Customer Review: Great Item for Measuring!
Summary: 4 Stars
As much as I like to cook, I don't like cluttering up my kitchen with gadgets that don't earn their keep. This one does!
It's very handy for liquids or dry ingredients, having 6 different measuring columns on the sides to measure either dry or liquid ingredients in cups, ounces or ml. The liquids conveniently have that extra grace section at the top so that you don't have to fill to the edge, as you do with the dry ingredients, such as flour. What I especially appreciate it for are the sticky, gooey things like peanut butter, honey, molasses, butter, etc. It's incredibly easy to measure out exactly how much you need; a quick push up from the bottom and the ingredient is completely ejected just where you need it. You can measure as little as 1/8cp or as much as 2 cps. It's easy to clean it afterwards, too.
Customer Review: Good but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
It does exactly what you'd think it does. It's actually pretty cool, but so far I haven't actually used it as much as I thought I would. For some reason, I still find a 2-cup measuring cup more useful.
Update:
I've had this for several months now, and I've noticed that even though the item is dishwasher safe and there's no actual damage, water gets trapped inside the plunger-piece and sloshes around after I run it through the dishwasher. Doesn't affect the usability, just kind of annoying to hear it sloshing around.
Customer Review: measuring creamy or sticky stuff?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is great for measuing yogurt, applesauce, molasses, honey and stuff like that. There is no need to use this for normal liquid or dry stuff but when you work with those other things, you can measure accurately and get it all out. I was inspired to buy this watching Alton Brown use either it or a similar product.
