"Easy to use, I reach for these first"
I've been using these for a couple of months and every nasty, gloppy mess I throw in it, including shortening, butter, cream cheese, sour cream and others have slid right out and cleaned up perfectly fine. I spend less time cleaning up then I would have with glass as more is pushed out. I haven't had any problems with them sticking and have yet to find a complaint with one and have gone so far as to aquire a 1 cup version. They both sit out and are never put away as my glass measuring cups are.

"I like this so much I have two"
I do a lot of baking from scratch and I liked this product so much that I have both a 2-cup and 1-cup version of this product.

I have not found this product to be difficult to use or to clean. You do need to slide it completely apart to clean it, but that only takes a second. I do wash mine by hand but that is only because they are used so frequently. I am certain that they would clean fine in the dishwasher once the sleeve was disconnected from the cylinder.

I would recommend this product to anyone that is a frequent baker.


"not a time saver"
This measuring cup is very difficult to slide and to clean. It is much easier to spray a regular measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray to help release sticky things such as peanut butter or honey. Spend your money on a good set of traditional measuring cups!

"Hard to clean"
I have to agree with another reviewer. I got one of these as a gift and I was really excited about it. But it's a devil to keep clean. The inner canister has a textured surface where flour gets easily trapped. I only used it once, and now it just takes up space in my tool drawer next to my beloved measuring cups. Great idea, really bad execution.

"Hard to use"
I find that it doesn't slide easily, even when the seal is oiled (which you have to do whenever you wash it, a bit of a pain). I was excited about getting it because Alton uses one on his show, but I never use it -- I just use my regular old-fashioned measuring cups and use a rubber spatula to get the sticky ingredients out.

Also it's hollow on the inside so if you wash it in a dishwasher, and you want the soiled part towards the water, the hollow part is facing up and gets filled with dirty dish water.

What our customer's say!

"No Tablespoon markings!", Kitchen Art adjust a cups do not have tablespoon measurements! Have to convert tablespoons to ounces ie 2 to 1 in your head and have to eyeball three tablespoons or learn to convert tablespoons to mls. Contacted company and they confirmed. Sort of strange to have MLs and not tablespoons in the US. The other adjust a cup "The Plunger" does have tablespoons. Owned one of those in the past, messed it up by using dishwasher and bought the Kithchen Art's as replacement. Going to buy another plunger.

"The Best For Sticky Stuff", This is such a cool idea. It works wonderfully for honey, syrup, yogurt, sour cream, etc. It really holds up to repeated trips to the dishwasher. (I've had it for years and don't think I've hand washed it once.) The seal is so good that you should lube it with a little mineral oil so that it will slide better. Works great. If you are a frequent baker, I recommend it.

"Liquids poweders and more", If you have ever had trouble getting honey, molasses, corn syrup or other ingredients out of a standard measuring cup you will want to look into this product. All you do is twist the sleeve as you move it up or down to the desired size.

Some reviewers are complaining about the difficulty of plunging this item. I have found the trick is to slightly twist as you plunge or adjust.

It has a scale for dry ingredients and one for liquids, ensure you know which one you are looking at.

Once you have measured your ingredients a quick twist and plunge over the intended target quickly empties even the thickest of ingredients.

If you are feeling really adventurous you can measure for your first ingredient increase the capacity to add a second and third ingredient. This is helpful if your first ingredient is a liquid and the subsequent ingredients are thick liquids or chunky solids. Just ensure your additions will not dissolve in the other ingredients

"This thing fights back!", This works, and is very well made. Looks good, too.

However, I find that mine is so stiff and difficult to slide, that I haven't used it more than once or twice since I bought it two years ago. It is so hard to move the plunger that I just don't bother with it, and it takes up too much space to be used so infrequently.

I don't think I would buy it again.

"How to measure the sticky stuff", Want to measure peanut butter accurately for a recipe ? It goes something like this; get a spatula, pull a dollop out of the jar, and scrape it across the top of the measuring cup, trying not to make a mess. Repeat, until the cup is full, then use a spoon to try and get the peanut butter back out of the cup without making a mess, leaving too much behind, or getting your fingers in the food.
This scenario also works when trying to measure ingredients like corn syrup, melted chocolate, brown sugar etc.

Enter the Adjust-a-cup. You pull the plunger down to the desired measurement, and fill the tube with the ingredient. When it's as full as you want it, just push up on the plunger and it plops all of your measured goodies into your bowl without leaving a mess - all of the product goes where you want it without spoons, fingers, spatulas or mess.

What can I say? It's awesome, and I don't know how I did without it.

"Fabulous!", My husband loves peanut butter cookies, and if you've ever tried measuring a sticky substance like that, you know how frustrating it is. This measuring cup makes it so easy to measure and remove ingredients, I don't know how I got along without one.
