These are great for so many reasons. If you are baking and you need to measure out a lot of ingredients than this is perfect because you don't have to dirty up all of your measuring cups. They are dishwasher safe making them even more convienient. There are a lot of differnet brands but most are approved for both liquid and dry ingredients. These are pretty inexpensive and can be found at places such as Walmart, Linen's N' Things, and Bed Bath and Beyond.

This is a great gadget because it not only looks cool it provides you with a clean cut, elimanating those sharp edges. It runs on two AA batterys and they will last about 100 cans.
