This is the most common size we see in home kitchens, and we think it’s the most useful: It’s more compact and easy to lift than an unwieldy 4-cup model and more versatile than a 1-cup model. Available in a 2-cup capacity: Although you can get liquid measuring cups in multiples sizes (most commonly 1 cup, 2 cups, and 4 cups), we focused on testing only 2-cup models.We also paid attention to the spot where the handle met the cup: If there’s a crevice there, or if the handle is raised above the edge of the cup, it can be tricky to cleanly sweep a knife across and level the ingredients. Easy to fill and to level: We looked for cups that were wide enough to easily pour ingredients like oats or dried beans into.Measurements marked in milliliters as well as in cups are also useful for converting European recipes, but, again, we didn’t consider this to be crucial. Half-measurements marked on the sides of the cups can be helpful (especially if you want to wash fewer cups), but they aren’t essential. Printed measurements can rub off over time, and measurements stamped on the bottom or inside of a cup are impossible to read if there’s anything actually in the cup. Clearly labeled: We looked for cups that had measurements stamped or etched on the handle. ![]() Short, wide handles help cups stay stable, and they can also be more comfortable to hold.
