 No Tablespoon markings! September 17, 2008
Tyron Avent (Raleigh NC)
Kitchen Art adjust a cups do not have tablespoon measurements! Have to convert tablespoons to ounces ie 2 to 1 in your head and have to eyeball three tablespoons or learn to convert tablespoons to mls. Contacted company and they confirmed. Sort of strange to have MLs and not tablespoons in the US. The other adjust a cup "The Plunger" does have tablespoons. Owned one of those in the past, messed it up by using dishwasher and bought the Kithchen Art's as replacement. Going to buy another plunger.
 The Best For Sticky Stuff July 15, 2008
NuJoi (Chicago, IL United States)
This is such a cool idea. It works wonderfully for honey, syrup, yogurt, sour cream, etc. It really holds up to repeated trips to the dishwasher. (I've had it for years and don't think I've hand washed it once.) The seal is so good that you should lube it with a little mineral oil so that it will slide better. Works great. If you are a frequent baker, I recommend it.
 Liquids poweders and more March 9, 2008
Justin G. Cramer (Chicago, IL USA)
If you have ever had trouble getting honey, molasses, corn syrup or other ingredients out of a standard measuring cup you will want to look into this product. All you do is twist the sleeve as you move it up or down to the desired size.
Some reviewers are complaining about the difficulty of plunging this item. I have found the trick is to slightly twist as you plunge or adjust.
It has a scale for dry ingredients and one for liquids, ensure you know which one you are looking at.
Once you have measured your ingredients a quick twist and plunge over the intended target quickly empties even the thickest of ingredients.
If you are feeling really adventurous you can measure for your first ingredient increase the capacity to add a second and third ingredient. This is helpful if your first ingredient is a liquid and the subsequent ingredients are thick liquids or chunky solids. Just ensure your additions will not dissolve in the other ingredients
 This thing fights back! December 23, 2007
Sean P. Logue (Research Triangle Park, NC USA)
This works, and is very well made. Looks good, too.
However, I find that mine is so stiff and difficult to slide, that I haven't used it more than once or twice since I bought it two years ago. It is so hard to move the plunger that I just don't bother with it, and it takes up too much space to be used so infrequently.
I don't think I would buy it again.
How to measure the sticky stuff October 30, 2007

Want to measure peanut butter accurately for a recipe ? It goes something like this; get a spatula, pull a dollop out of the jar, and scrape it across the top of the measuring cup, trying not to make a mess. Repeat, until the cup is full, then use a spoon to try and get the peanut butter back out of the cup without making a mess, leaving too much behind, or getting your fingers in the food.
This scenario also works when trying to measure ingredients like corn syrup, melted chocolate, brown sugar etc.
Enter the Adjust-a-cup. You pull the plunger down to the desired measurement, and fill the tube with the ingredient. When it's as full as you want it, just push up on the plunger and it plops all of your measured goodies into your bowl without leaving a mess - all of the product goes where you want it without spoons, fingers, spatulas or mess.
What can I say? It's awesome, and I don't know how I did without it.
