The SoftWorks Angled Measuring 4-cup is not round but oval. That means calibrations are printed on the cup"s sides, as is conventional, as well as on a patented guide inside the cup that"s angled so it can be read from above. The result is that this cup doesn"t have to be held up--or bent down to--in order to determine how much liquid it contains. It has a slip-resistant handle for when hands are wet, and it"s made of rugged, dishwasher-safe plastic, with calibrations in both standard measurements and metric. The SoftWorks Angled Measuring Cup will revolutionize liquid measuring.
