As kitchen gadgets go, these adjustable measuring cups are actually pretty damn handy (they beat the pants off that silly scroll pan, anyway). Doing away with a whole arsenal of spoons and scoops, the pair of cups will save you a chunk of space in your kitchen drawer. Sliding knobs let you pick your portions, and they'll work with both dry and liquid ingredients. The big guy can partition your servings up to half a cup, while his little brother is good for anything south of 2 tablespoons. They're also magnetic, so go ahead and stick 'em to the fridge to show what an efficient little cook you are. Bonus: you'll never face the terrible redundancy that can happen with regular scoops: you know, when you lose your ½-cup measure and have to buy a whole new set just to get that one back. Or does that just happen to me? — Peter Pachal
