All the glass ones I’ve seen suck. Their pour spots are horrible and they don’t have frequently used measurement gradations. The best ones I’ve used are the Oxo ones but they are unfortunately plastic.
I’ve found and love my vintage Pyrex measuring cups and completely agree, the new ones are sloppy compared to what they once were. If you live near a city you’ll see a lot of them on Craigslist, marketplace, or estate/move out auctions to find some older sets. If not you can find some online for about double what you’d expect to pay from local sellers, just be on the look out for any cracks or chips if you can’t see them in person before buying.
Plus it feels good to buy used and reduce landfill fodder.
I haven’t found one yet, but I do recommend stamped metal with etched labels for 1 cup and lower measuring cups and spoons. I’ve replaced a plastic set with metal because the labels had all disappeared from the plastic over the years.
I’d never heard of it before you asked, OP. For others who were confused, Milo is a chocolate malt drink mix, not unlike Ovaltine or Nesquik in the US, which originated in Australia.
Besides a mix-in for milk and coffee beverages, it seems you can use it for ice cream (as a topping or as a flavoring in a homemade batch), in baked goods, puddings, oatmeal/porridge (I might try that!), fudge recipes and as an add-in for crumbles like you might use in graham cracker crusts. You can also use it as a flavoring in puffed rice cereal bars (Rice Krispie treats in the US) and probably on those sorts.of cereals directly.
Now I’m giving that can of Ovaltine in my own cabinet another look. Thanks, OP!
I tried a brand with mild and spicy. I thought the mild was pretty much ketchup. Spicy is really good, although a bit thin - does not stick to fries well. I’ll definitely get it again
Successfully made shoestring frenchfries. (and I’ve officially used it more than they have…) (thin-cut-sticks, salt, olive oil or whatever, fresh thyme. Air fry at 400 in the wire basket.)
Frozen french fries are fantastic! I have an airfryer with shelves instead of a basket, but I’m sure it’d be the same. I just grab store brand waffle, steak, or curly fries, drop a handful or two on a single shelf spread them out so thy’re not bunched up and hit the fries button - no additional oil necessary, and I may or may not add seasoning at the end.
The thicker fries do really well with my airfryer, and the preset, but you may need to adjust your cooking times and temp depending on your air fryer and the type of fries. I also roasted red potatoes and baby carrots for Christmas. Chicken breasts are a little trickier if they’re varying sizes and thinknesses, but checking the temp with an instant read thermometer makes it super easy, and you don’t heat up your entire kitchen when checking the temps. Same with the carrots and potatoes, I just poke them with a fork to see if they’re done
