Not many of us mere mortals can wing it with a recipe—adding a fistful of herbs here or a splash of red wine vinegar there—without the dish ending up an epic fail. Most of the time you need to add ingredients at precisely the correct amount to keep things balanced. This is even more important when you’re baking—an incorrect dose of salt or baking powder has the power to flatten your cake.

That’s where measuring cups come in. Officially kicking about since 1896, when Fannie Farmer called for standardized measuring in her book The Boston Cooking School, these simple kitchen companions promise to deliver the exact same amount of ingredients every time. They come in all kinds of different materials, from plastic to stainless steel. You can even get novelty cups if you’re so inclined. But copper is easily the most stylish. This durable metal is incredibly long-lasting which makes the cups a quality investment sure to pay dividends.
