Product Description

Style Name:With Seal

Product Description

Emsa was founded in Germany over 60 years ago and has been a leading German manufacturer of kitchen and home accessories since that time. Countless design awards are evidence why consumers and professionals in more than 140 countries trust the Emsa name. Emsa's product range revolves around the motto "the beauty of plastic is its versatility." The Perfect Beaker is designed for measuring both wet and dry ingredients with precise accuracy. Mix salad dressings, healthy drinks or flour mixtures for breads. The narrow base ensures accurate measurements even in small quantities. The scientifically calibrated measurement guide includes cups, fluid ounces, pints, teaspoons, tablespoons, and milliliters/cubic centimeters. A beveled rim makes pouring easy. Measure sauces, dressings or marinades completely in this single vessel. The lid fits snugly enough that you can snap it on and shake the beaker for easy mixing. Please note this item is not microwave safe.

This is a single measuring cup that will replace the others floating around your kitchen--even the teaspoons! Cone-shaped, with a sturdy base and tight-fitting lid, this little beaker is perfect for those recipes with odd amounts, such as "two cups plus one tablespoon." There's a lip around the top edge that acts beautifully as a spout--no dripping when pouring liquids, from water to beaten egg yolks. Measurements include pints, cups, ounces, ml/ccm, tablespoons, and teaspoons, and all are written clearly in black print. The lid fits snugly enough that you can snap it on and shake the beaker for easy mixing of ingredients. --Jill Lightner

I'm a fairly serious cook, so I need to measure a lot. I use this beaker whenever I can, for both wet and dry ingredients.
It has several advantages: (1) it's narrower at the bottom, so when measuring a small quantity you get extra accuracy; (2) it has a curved lip for perfect pouring with literally zero drips; (3) it is marked in many different units such as cups, ounces, ml, etc.; (4) it is very light in weight yet unbreakable; (5) it feels really good in your hand.
It also has disadvantages: (1) it's not a good choice for hot liquids because it's plastic (I use Pyrex for that); (2) the wonderful big foot tends to be full of water when emptying the dishwasher. I solved #2 in 10 seconds by drilling a teensy hole near the top of the foot, so water drains out of it when inverted in the dishwasher.
If you are a serious cook and you buy this item and don't use it often, I'll be surprised.

It looks weird to most american kitchens. A beaker, you say? But once you use it -- you'll never go back. Ever.
I measure things and then shake to mix. Great for drinks, but also especially for cooking. Alton Brown on the TV Show Good Eats uses a similar one (not sure if they are the same). Pouring is a snap. Measuring is a snap.
A godsend for anyone whose hands shake too much to pour into a small spoon, or measuring cup that might tip over on the counter. Its sturdy base assures free-standing pouring, even for those of us with carpal tunnel or other folk of uncertain hand movements.
Once I used this, I found that many other tools became replaced. It has some classy looks going on too -- nice as well as functional.

Based upon old-style measuring flasks apothecaries used , these break-resistant cylinders accurately measure amounts to up 2 cups or one pint.

They are at their best when measuring a bunch of liquids for a recipe. For example, if a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, a 1/4 cup of milk, and two tablespoons of honey, you can measure them all accurately in one cylinder in one pass. What I mean is that the most efficient way to measure all these liquids is to measure the honey into the flask, then add the tablespoon of vanilla (just add vanilla until the combined liquids reach the three tablespoon mark), then measure the milk and water. All in one flask at one time, with only one flask to wash. Neat, fast, and efficient.

My only complaint is that there are perhaps too many measuring scales on one flask: Pints, cups, fluid ounces, tablespoons, teaspoons, and mm/cc (which is great to have if you have both European and US recipes or cookbooks). They could eliminate the pint scale easily and made the others easier to read by spacing the remaining scales apart.

Alton Brown is a fan of these beakers, which is another great sign. So, if you cook a lot, especially bake or use recipes with lots of liquids in them, these are just about 'perfect'!

PS Hunt around on the Amazon site-I found two different prices for the exact same product.

As a former chemist, among other things, I really appreciate this measuring cup as the very best improvement over the old pyrex glass cups. The shape is ideal for doing fine measurements down to around three or four tablespoons; however, I suggest you stop there, especially for oils, as you are likely to leave five to 10 percent of the measured liquid behind.

If I were to make any suggestions at all on the design of this 'beaker', it would be to release it in a glass version. I know this would be much more breakable, but I think it would also be much more sanitary, as I would feel much more confident that it would not get scratched and that it would stand up to a high heat wash.

For those who use it so much that you are tempted to use it for solids, I say don't. There are really good reasons to do solids with the stainless steel spoons and cups.

I've gone through 2 of these. Each time, a crack develops - straight down one side and up the other. I have not been rough with them. In fact, the last one broke when I was washing it with a soft cloth. Functionally, it's a great idea - smaller quantities are measured with greater accuracy. But, I'm not buying more until it is made from sturdier material.

This would be better if it was made out of a better material. It is made out of really thin plastic. It doesn't seem like it would take much to break it. The lip doesn't act like a spout. It really could use a real spout. I find the plastic lid to be useless and easy to get lost. Other than that it is pretty cool. Getting used to it is tricky but it makes things easy. For example, if you are makeing a merinade using a recipe that calls for 1 cup of soy sauce and two tablespoons sugar, just fill it with soy sauce to the mark rotate the cup so you can see the tablespoon mark and add two tablespoons of sugar. This beaker would trully be a perfect beaker if it was made of heat resistant glass, had non hollow(solid) base, and came in a four cup size. Two cups is fine for most measuring utensils, but when you have a beaker like this one you can start making you sauce/marinade etc.. right in it because it can measure everything.
