Earlier this month when shopping for measuring cups (as all men who've reached the age of 28 without really ever having lived on their own must do) I wondered why anyone would buy the $19.99 stainless steel set when a $5.99 plastic one hung adjacent. I mean, a stainless refrigerator you look at every day, stainless pots and pans save on washing hassles, and stainless bike hardware similarly cuts down on rust. But what possible benefit beside aesthetic could stainless measuring cups have over plastic ones?
Tonight I found out when, during a routine drying session, I apparently went Hulk on this poor half-cup.
