Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive GT-3520 International 19-Piece Measuring Cup and Spoon SetCustomer Review: A Great Deal - Works Well for American and International Recipes Summary: 5 Stars
I originally purchased this set of measuring cups and spoons for recipes (using metric measures) from a South African cookbook. I found however that they are also very useful for American recipes too. The 3/4 cup measuring cup is especially useful so you don't have to measure with a 1/4 cup three times. The 2 teaspoon measuring spoon is however less useful because it doesn't fit into spice jars. I found I had to pour spices into the larger measuring spoons.
While the connecting loops are great for the measuring spoons I found them less useful on the measuring cups so I removed them. I like that the measurements are molded into the plastic so they won't wear off like painted measurements. This set is also dishwasher safe. I think this set is a great product at a very reasonable price. I can highly recommend them!
Here is the first recipe I made up today while I was using this new measuring set:
Sweet Potato Muffins
The scent of warm spices will fill your home when you bake these muffins. They are perfect to make for breakfast during the holiday season. I prefer making muffins instead of bread because it takes less time to cook and the muffins can be easily reheated in the microwave (use paper cups instead of foil cups if you want to reheat them). I use canned sweet potatoes but you could also use any leftover sweet potatoes.
1 cup dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup buttermilk (or 1/3 cup milk with 1 tablespoon buttermilk powder)
1 (15-ounce) can Princella cut sweet potatoes, mashed or about 1 cup mashed
sweet potatoes
1 3/4 cups King Arthurall-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Rumford aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Fleur de Sel, crushed in a mortar with pestle
or use regular fine sea salt
2 teaspoons McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Set out two 12-cup muffin tins and line them with 16 paper baking cups.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and melted butter.
Whisk in the eggs then the vanilla, buttermilk and sweet potatoes.
4. In a medium bowl use a wooden spoon to mix together the flour, baking
powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
5. Pour the flour mixture into the sweet potato mixture and stir just until
combined.
6. Spoon batter into baking cups so they are at least 3/4 full. This is easy to do
if you use a wooden spoon to scoop up the batter and use a tablespoon to
scrape the batter into each cup.
7. Bake the muffins for 18 minutes or until tops bounce back when lightly
pressed.
8. Serve with butter and a glass of milk or cup of coffee or tea.
Makes 16 muffins
Enjoy,
