Cupboard Lust: Tala Cook's Measuring Cup

Well, well, well. This Tala cooks' measuring cup is a bit of a blast from the past. Tala kitchenware, in case you don't recognise the iconic design from your grandma's kitchen cupboards, has been around for over half a century, with obsessive evangelists raving about their practical cooking equipment and accessories from all over the world.

And this measuring cup usefully sums up in one item why the hordes of Tala converts across the globe adore the brand so much. Printed with metric, imperial and American measurements (so that's grams, ounces and cups, amongst others), it makes baking up a storm a cinch.

You don't need scales, you don't need to faff about finding an online conversion tool to work out the UK equivalent of that weird term you've just found mid-way through a recipe whilst the kitchen fills up with smoke from a neglected oven. All you need is £6.49, to bagsy this insanely handy bad boy from Amazon. You're welcome.
