Ultimately, this will be a personal preference, but there are many reasons why home cooks should choose stainless steel measuring cups over plastic measuring cups. Here are just a few:
– Stainless steel measuring cups are sturdy and durable, especially when they are constructed from one piece of metal; whereas, plastic measuring cups can bend, crack, and melt very easily.
– Stainless steel measuring cups do not take on the flavors of the food they hold; whereas, plastic measuring cups do.
– Stainless steel measuring cups do not stain; whereas, plastic measuring cups do.
– Stainless steel measuring cups do not typically lose the numerical measurements etched into them; whereas, plastic measuring cups will eventually lose the numerical measurements painted onto them.
