Amazon.com Product Description

Eliminate cluttered countertops--and excessive cleanup--with help from this handy adjustable measuring cup. Designed to hold up to two cups of liquid or dry ingredients, the innovative unit takes the place of an entire set of standard measuring cups to save on both work surface and cupboard or drawer space. To use, simply slide the outer sleeve until it reaches the desired measurement, add the needed ingredient, position it over the mixing bowl, and push. The inner plunger ejects even hard-to-release ingredients such as thick peanut butter, gooey cornstarch, and sticky honey with ease. In addition, it can be used to measure several ingredients at once. To do this, measure and fill the first ingredient, move the sleeve up to the desired measurement for the second ingredient and fill, and proceed until capturing all ingredients inside, dispensing them in one smooth move into a baking dish, stand mixer bowl, or cooking pot. Marked with pints, cups, ounces, and millimeters for quick identification, the unit also serves as a handy guide for quick doubling of recipes or conversions. Best of all, its handsome champagne-satin inner finish and clear outer sheath unite to create a sleek, attractive tool that brings practical style to any kitchen. Safe for use in the dishwasher, the 2-cup adjustable measuring cup measures approximately 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Item for Measuring!, November 5, 2008

This review is from: KitchenArt Pro 55210 Adjust-A-Cup 2-Cup Measuring Cup (Kitchen)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars measuring creamy or sticky stuff?, May 4, 2008

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.

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.
