Chef’n SleekStor™ Collapsible Measuring Cup Set, Tangerine Practical and fun to use at the same time, SleekStor measuring cups from Chef’n make a great gift for the cook who thinks he or she has seen it all. Made of flexible, high-grade silicone, each cup is designed with ribs that enable the cup to collapse for compact storage, then pop open again when ready for use. Simply push down on the gray nylon frame or pull it up. The set consists of four sizes that cover most home baking needs: 1 cup, 1/2-cup, 1/3-cup, and 1/4-cup. The measurement size is embedded in the bottom of each cup and won’t rub off over time.

Chef’n makes the SleekStor measuring cup sets in a choice of six bright colors, to match or wildly contrast with any kitchen d cor. Pour boiling water into the cups or use one to skim soup without worry; the silicone is heat-resistant to 650 degrees F, and the nylon frame and handle to 400 degrees F. A clip that comes with the set slips through the handle holes and allows the set to be hung on a hook; and, of course, when the cups are collapsed flat, very little drawer space is taken up. All are dishwasher-safe on the top rack. –Ann Bieri
