THE GLASS MEASURING CUP AND MIXING BOWLS YOU WON’T BAKE WITHOUT
It’s the glass measuring cup that’s always been there, since before you knew how to bake by yourself. You probably “stole” it from your mom’s cupboard for your first apartment. We hope you’ve bought her a new one by now, but either way, that measuring cup is the ultimate kitchen essential.
Solid well-made tools make baking and cooking easier. Anchor Hocking has your go-to kitchen accessories. Our glass measuring cups, measuring glasses, and batter bowls are designed to be durable and easy to use. Our prep bowls and mixing bowls bring simplicity to organizing and executing any recipe.
MEASURING IS JUST THE BEGINNING
Everyone has a glass measuring cup. It’s an absolute kitchen essential, even for the most novice of chefs. But did you know that you can use your glass measuring cup to boil water or warm milk in the microwave, and melt butter in the oven? And once you’ve got your liquid measured and to the right temperature or consistency, it’s time to graduate to other mix & measure tools, like our fan favorite Batter Bowl.
YOUR BATTER BOWL IS A MEASURING CUP AND OTHER MIXED UP TREASURES
What is a batter bowl? Is it a measuring cup? A mixing bowl? The truth is, it’s all of these and so much more. The Anchor Hocking Batter Bowl has a tight-fitting lid that keeps batter fresh and easy to store. Use your batter bowl for more than cakes. Try these creative uses:
Proof
You’ve mixed your dough and now you are ready to proof! Proofing is the step where the dough rises after shaping and before baking. Grab a large clean batter bowl for round two! A glass bowl with a tight-fitting lid is a perfect choice for proofing dough. Here’s how to do it to perfection:
- First, run warm water in the empty glass bowl. This will create a warm environment to get the proofing processes started. Be sure to dry the bowl.
- After it’s been dried, grease or spray the bowl and lid to prevent sticking.
- Place the dough ball into the center of the bowl and seal tightly with the lid.
- Check back in a bit. Using glass makes it easy to see when your dough has doubled.
MARINADE
Use a glass batter bowl for marinades. This allows you to go straight from measuring and mixing to marinating in one container. Glass is non-reactive, which makes it the better choice when it comes to acidic marinades. Simply mix your marinade liquid and add your proteins and vegetables. Seal with the lid and pop in the refrigerator for less mess marinating.
POUR
The pour spout makes batter bowls perfect for prepping pancakes, muffins, and cupcakes. The measurements on the side make it easy to get your ingredients mixed with minimal dishes to clean. The pour spout makes it convenient to get your batter straight into the tins or griddle without extra utensils!
