King Arthur sells 3/4-cup and 2/3-cup measures. Stainless steel, I believe. Very handy.

Let me put my $0.02 in here. I have a great scale, the MyWeigh 3001T. You can see its capabilities at

.It comes in white (I don't recommend because of the 'rubber ridges' on topand blue or green. I have the blue and I bougt it at for $37.90 plus shipping. Ididn't get the 'VibraKill pad' and haven't regretted that decision. You canbounce between grams, Kg & grams, oz and lbs & oz at the push of a button.It weighs up to 3 Kg (6.6 Lbs). They have the 6001 model that weighs up to 6Kg (13.2Lbs) for $44.90.

Thanks for answering. I went to the site you mentioned and see this in their specifications:

HOLD, TARE, LB/KG/G/OZ & Count functions

I don't know what Tare means, but I'm wondering if anyone might know if one of these functions on this 3001 might mean that you can "go back to zero, then add on your next weight"?

It does say also that you can switch back and forth between oz. & lbs., and you say that you can bounce between oz, grams, which I assume that means while you are working on ONE recipe with several ingredients you can switch back and forth?.

These "little things mean a lot."

Thanks so much. dee

This is exactly what 'tare' means. Put a container on the scale either at the start (before turning on the scale) or after it's on. In the latter case, hit the tare button and the reading goes to zero. Now add your first ingredient until you have the right amount and hit tare. It's back at zero. Add your next ingredient, hit tare, etc. The only restriction (and this is true of all scales with the tare function) is that you can't go beyond the scale's max capability. That is, if the max capability is 3 Kg, just because you hit tare, the scale still is measuring the actual weight. So if you have

2 Kg on the scale, hit tare, you can only add a max of 1 more Kg, not 3 more Kg.

And it also is accurate to 0.1 oz and reads in that increment.

I'll be honest, I've never tried to swithch in the middle of a weighing session using the tare function. I have used both the grams and Lbs/oz but not switching between them using the tare function. I don't see why it wouldn't work since I have switched when having something on the scale just to see the weight in both metric and US units. So if you hit tare and then the units button, you should be Ok. But I haven't actually done it. If it's important to you, I'' give it a try tonight. Just let me know.

You bet!

Thanks for your great answer. Let me know at your own pace -- no hurry. I might not be checking in for a few days. Happy Thanksgiving to you. dee

Very cool, and it would be exceptionally handy at times! I'll have to check it out!

I grew up with one and then another set of Tupperware dry measuring cups that came with the 2/3rd and 3/4ths cups. Currently using another set of the same style, scavenged from thrift stores. Annoys me that

2/3rds isn't standard anymore. I always used it as much as the others.

I have the 3/4 & 2/3 and I also have a 1-1/2 cup that I use a lot when making bread.

I also have a kitchen drawer like Fibber McGee's closet.

Tupperware definitely makes them. My set consists of 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3,

3/4, and 1 cup. Actually, I have two sets like this. They're very handly.

I checked and yes, after adding something to weigh in Lb/oz mode, I hit tare and then hit the button to switch to Kg/grams and added another item to weigh and it weighed it in Kg/grams.

Not quite, I've got nifty little item from OBH (only sold in the nordic countries, I think ), going up to 5 kg, and if I put about 5 Kg on it, and hit tare, it happily continues up to the next 5 Kg. I've actually weighed up to nearly 15 Kg on it ( dont dare to try going higher ). Kim
