Handmade in Liverpool, England, since the 1920s, this jack-of-all trades measuring cup is lightweight and ergonomically designed for any cook. Equipped with American and English cups, imperial, metric, pints and fluid measurements, it’s especially useful for following family recipes or those in older cookbooks with different measurements. We appreciate that this cup also factors in extra measurements for couscous, bulgur wheat and Arborio rice for additional ease. You might never have to take out a scale or look up a conversion again.

Every element of these stainless steel measuring spoons was thoughtfully designed to conveniently reach the bottoms of your most narrow spice containers, from the oval bowl to the long, slender handle. Their durable stainless steel feels sturdy and balanced in the hand, and the contours of the handle are comfortable to grip. We especially like that the spoons feature a gentle curve at the end that keeps them upright on countertops—no more spilled salt—and helps the spoons neatly nest into each other for compact storage.

For easy, spill-free pouring, these smartly designed silicone measuring cups are just the thing. The flexible material allows you to squeeze the cup and create a spout anywhere on its rim, adjusting as you pour. So whether you need precision pouring for runny liquids—like a thin stream of oil when emulsifying aioli—or a wider lip to quickly pour thick batters, the Flex-It Measuring Cups will work perfectly. Plus, the food-grade silicone can be used in the microwave and is heat-resistant up to 490 degrees Fahrenheit. It's also dishwasher-safe: We found that even after we left the cups sitting overnight with turmeric and chili, the silicone was easy to clean and didn't have any residual smells or stains. Choose between a three-piece set with 1-cup, 2-cup and 4-cup sizes, a set of 2-ounce measuring cups, or buy the largest cup on its own—it's large enough to mix up your favorite pancake batter without dirtying a bowl!

Never go rummaging around for a matching lid again with 10-piece set of nesting glass bowls and snap-on lids. Genicook’s bowls are made of sturdy borosilicate glass, the same material as science beakers, which makes them less likely to crack, chip or scratch. They are safe for the oven, microwave and dishwasher, and when not in use, simply stack the bowls with the lids on and cover with the largest lid. It’s equipped with a carry handle for easy transferring from cabinet to counter.

Better baking begins with weighing, not measuring, ingredients, and the Escali 136DK Alimento Scale is the best we’ve found for the task. Many kitchen scales are cheaply made, so their weight sensors are unreliable, but Escali's scale gives consistent, accurate readings. Lightweight yet sturdy, it's designed with an easy to clean, removable stainless steel platform so you can read the weight without a bowl blocking it. A sealed control panel prevents food from getting inside during inevitable spills, and a straightforward tare function allows you measure multiple items quickly. Combined with an easy to read, backlit display, these features make the Escali the best in class. While most scales only handle up to 11 pounds, Escali's manages up to 13 pounds for larger baking projects and detects even the slightest weight change, down to 0.1 ounces or 1 gram. Plus, it automatically shuts off after 10 minutes to preserve battery life.

Lightweight and multi-functional, the Primo Digital Scale is the best we've used at such a compact size. Many small kitchen scales are cheaply made, so their weight sensors are unreliable and give different readings depending on how your food is positioned. Escali's product gives consistent, accurate readings, with a two-button operation and straightforward tare function to subtract the weight of your container by resetting the scale to zero. It can handle up to 11 pounds and detect even the slightest weight change, down to a single gram. The buttons have a protective shield against splatter and are easy to clean; plus, the scale automatically shuts off after 4 minutes to conserve battery life.

We know it’s easy to be skeptical of the infamous kitchen multitool, but believe us when we say the Flisk is not a gimmick. Our kitchen team was blown away by the quality. This nifty tool didn’t win a Red Dot design award for nothing. It seamlessly shifts between three different shapes with a simple click of the knob located at the end of the handle. The first setting is a classic balloon whisk, perfect for beating egg whites into stiff peaks or making a quick batch of homemade whipped cream, and another half-opened setting (it’s narrowly X shaped when looked at from above) is ideal for stirring sauces, as it can also sneak into the edges of pans to make sure everything’s evenly mixed. Lastly, it folds completely flat, which does wonders for deglazing a pan and also for easy, tangle-free storage. We found the durable plastic of the ergonomic handle to stand up to a good amount of wear and tear and so can the Flisk’s 10 wires. They’re made from high-vibration spring steel to give you maximum aeration efficiency with (this means fluffy frostings in a flash) and are hygienically sealed within the handle.

Because of their robust construction and fine machining, Cuisipro’s award-winning precision tools are elevated kitchen essentials and a pleasure to use. These stainless steel measuring cups are our favorite brand because their perfectly flat rims make it easier for leveling off ingredients with a knife, while their elongated elliptical shape can fit into narrower containers. We found that the longer handles are useful for scooping ingredients—with these cups, you won’t need to stick your hand deep into a bag of flour each time you bake. These cups are also visually appealing; both the eyelet hole at the end of the cup and the handle shape have contours that echo the clever oval design.

This three-piece set of heavy-gauge stainless steel mixing bowls has a more durable construction than others. Each bowl has a black silicone lining on its bottom, which prevents the bowls from shifting and slipping during prep work. They are fairly tall-sided, rather than widening further from the base toward the rim; this means less food spilling out and a generous capacity to prepare large batches of food at a time. We also appreciate how the non-slip linings are tightly adhered to the bowls; on poorly made models, this rubberized base may detach and fall off over time.

This 6-inch mini whisk from Mrs. Anderson’s Baking is perfectly sized for mixing and blending small quantities, like beating a single egg to glaze pastry dough or mixing a spice blend. Made from high quality 18/8 stainless steel, this little whisk is strong enough to incorporate powders, like hot chocolate or whey protein, into liquid or to produce light and fluffy eggs. After use, the dishwasher-safe mini whisk hangs by a hook on its handle for convenient storage.

Named for the dimpled indent at the bottom of your wine bottle, Colorado-based company Wine Punts makes these unique measuring cups out of recycled wine bottles, with a dedication to sustainable living. They partner with local restaurants and hotels to save tens of thousands of glass bottles per year from crowding our landfills. Artisans saw off the neck of the bottles then fire-polish and individually inspect every Wine Punts piece to ensure a seamless, smooth rim without any chipped or sharp edges. Each Wine Punts product has its own personality, from slight variations in diameter and hue to the patterned ridges on the bottom. Made with sturdy non-porous glass, these beaker-like measuring cups hold a 2-cup capacity and show cup and ounce equivalents and are great for cocktails, baking and more. The spout makes for mess-free pouring, while its high sides prevent microwave splattering when melting butter or heating sauces. Plus, the glass is well insulated and still comfortable to hold when filled with hot water.
