A Measuring Cup for the 21st Century

By Comments (5)

The Taylor Digital Measuring Cup means no more guesswork measuring out ingredients for delicious baked goods.


Gadgets are a part of everyday life and they’ve entered (or invaded) almost every aspect of our lives. One area that is often overlooked, however, is the kitchen.

While ovens, blenders, infrared cookers and other appliances have slowly been updated and enhanced with 21st century features & gimmicks, many things in the kitchen remain quintessentially analog. You’ll always need a proper chef’s knife, a solid maple cutting board & a keen sense of taste.

One lowly, but utterly important part of any baker’s arsenal is the measuring cup. Baking can often require very precise amounts and a digital readout is usually easier than the often-fading lines.

The Taylor Digital Measuring Cup features:

  • Combo measuring and weighing tool
  • Digitally weighs food or liquids
  • 4.4 lb capacity/1 Liter
  • Measures in pounds, ounces, milliliters, grams and fluid ounces
  • Pre-programmed to convert weight to volume

It is currently listed on the US Bed Bath & Beyond site as well as Amazon.com but unfortunately has not yet made it to the Canadian equivalents.

    How ridiculous, a measuring cup that converts weight to volume.

    Real Bakers only measure by weight.

    Europeans don’t even know what a cup is because it’s a volume measurement which isn’t used anywhere but North America.

    North Americans can’t bake properly because baking is an exact science which requires everything to be weighed to exact proportions.

    Just what they need, a measuring cup to help them keep those same inaccurate measurements (and they all think the English can’t cook).

    Just released and it’s running out of battery already?

  • bg says:

    I agree with Tim somewhat. Flour varies country to country. Even between the U.S. and Canada. Would doing it by weight though be any different? I love kitchen gadgets just for the sake of having odd items. Would buy this just for the novelty, depending on the price.

  • Chef says:

    Mind you, you might be off by a few grams depending on how far up or down the hemisphere you are…

    Must explain why the UK and the US can’t agree on how much flour makes a good cornbread…
