Pinch & Pour measuring cup set

My husband went shopping the other day and came home with this find from Crate & Barrel—a trio of soft silicone and nylon measuring cups in papa bear (4 cups/1000 ml), mama bear (2 cups/500 ml) and baby bear (1 cup/200 ml) sizes. They stack neatly inside each other and because the sides aren’t rigid, you can squeeze them in slightly, the better to pour. (And also to get out thick or sticky ingredients.) Dishwasher safe, too.

3-piece “Pinch & Pour” measuring cup set available from Crate & Barrel stores and online, $29.95 for the three.
