Measurements matter. And if you’re not going to use a scale (which we both know you should), the next best tool is a solid set of measuring cups. These guys at OXO, they make some of the best around.

See these measuring cups in action:

• French Toast
• Chocolate Date Shake
• Smoky Tequila Sour 

From spatulas to salad spinners, I’m a fan of quite a few of OXOs products. Here are a few more handy pieces of hardware I use in my test kitchen:

• Salad Spinner: An essential multitasker in my Green Bean Casserole 2.0 recipe.
• Rubber Spatula: Flexibility is key when making my Browned Butter Krispy Rice Treats.
• Large Mixing Bowl: Whipping up Dalgona Coffee is a breeze with this culinary essential.
