Pour spouts in measuring cups like that are kinda useless anyway.

Also don't get plastic measurers. Metal ones are slightly more expensive but don't leak micro plastics and you don't have to worry about the unit size coming off over time.

Yuuup.

I have a liquid measuring cup that only has the lines / amounts on one side - easy to read if you're right handed.

My glass measuring cups have standard if you are right handed, and metric if you are left handed.

Don't you mean standard if you are left-handed, and imperial if you are right-handed?

[–] ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did they stutter? They said standard, which is Imperial to them

I'm an American, and even I recognize that Metric is the proper standard.

It's nice to see some left handed privilege for once.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

I would be fine with it, if recipes in the states used metric.

I mean, most cups don't have a poor spot at all.

I'm not even left-handed, this is just bad design. Sometimes I want to pour with my other hand...

Oh dear. I've always wondered why my measuring cup has a spout on each side.
