Imotani Co., Ltd.'s 'easy-to-see measuring cup' usage review that allows you to read the scale not only from the side but also from above



One of the indispensable tools when cooking at home is a measuring cup. Unless you're making an elaborate dish, it's enough to pour in the liquid and measure it quickly, but it's very troublesome to have to lift the measuring cup to the height of the line of sight and check the scale. Imotani's ' easy-to-see measuring cup ' eliminates such inconvenience, and you can check the scale just by looking from above.

The package of the 'easy-to-see measuring cup' looks like this.



This is the measuring cup body.



The most distinctive feature of this measuring cup is the inclined part provided in the center of the cup. By marking the scale here, you can easily see how much is inside even when viewed from above.



In addition, the scale is written on the side of the cup in the same way as a normal measuring cup. It can measure up to 600 ml, which is quite large for a measuring cup.



On the other side, there is also a scale that can be used as a guide when measuring rice and flour.



Rubber is attached to the handle for easy grip. It has a smooth texture and is slightly elastic.



The material of the main body is

AS resin , and the material of the grip is thermoplastic elastomer according to the official website . Since the heat resistant temperature of the main body is up to 70 degrees, it seems better to avoid adding boiling water or chilling in the microwave.



To actually use it. If you put milk in it and look at it from above, you can see at a glance how many ml you have in it.



If you have a measuring cup with a scale on the side, you have to bend down to the height of the scale or lift the cup to the height of your line of sight. In particular, if you lift the cup, the liquid inside will sway and you may not be able to check it.



Even if you lift it up and check it, you only have to look from above, so you can measure it more accurately with a stable hand.



It also has a large capacity design that can hold 600 ml or more, so it is convenient when you want to put something in a large pot at once. The thick and vertically long handle gives the impression that it is easy to hold and carry.



In addition, this is an 'easy-to-see measuring cup' that the editorial staff personally used to cook every night for 5 years and broke. As a result of repeatedly pouring the liquid, pouring it in, and pouring it repeatedly, the handle part cracked.



I put the broken one to the right of the new one and compared it. As expected, after using it for 5 years, the season has entered and the cup is cloudy white.



The rubber part is dirty, but there is no crack. If it is a poor quality rubber product, it tends to be worn out after many years of use, but this seems to have never happened.



An 'easy-to-read measuring cup' is not suitable for applications such as vanilla essence, which accurately measures a good liquid with a small amount or mixes something inside, but people who want to cook quickly in the morning or when they are busy. Is convenient because you can check the scale quickly. The 'easy-to-see measuring cup' owned by the editorial staff was broken, and the editorial staff who was accustomed to using it purchased it again, so I wrote this article this time.

The 'easy-to-read measuring cup' can also be purchased at Amazon.co.jp, and the price is 347 yen including tax.
