Collapsible measuring cups are kitchen tools made primarily from flexible silicone that expand for use and collapse flat for easy, space-saving storage. They typically come in sets with standard measuring sizes like 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/4 cup, sometimes including measuring spoons as well. These cups are heat-resistant, easy to clean, usually dishwasher safe, and often come with features like engraved measurement markings, non-toxic BPA-free materials, reinforced handles, and handy storage loops. They are ideal for measuring both dry and liquid ingredients accurately while optimizing kitchen storage and portability. Several brands offer collapsible sets, with common features including:
- Made of food-grade, heat-resistant silicone.
- Collapsible and nestable for compact storage.
- Clear, engraved measurement markings.
- Dishwasher safe.
- BPA-free and safe for cooking use.
- Some models include a utility loop or removable hanging hook.
- Some designs feature pour spouts when pinched.
These cups are highly regarded for saving space in kitchens, being durable, and providing an easy-to-clean, non-rusting solution for precise measuring needs in baking and cooking.
