Are they suitable for dry ingredients, I.e. can you pile flour in and get an accurate measure by swiping a straight edge across the rim?

The actual measurement line is inside the cup so if you filled it to the brim to wipe a straight edge, you would be over the actual measurement you want. These are great for pouring liquids.

If you'll notice, the measure line for the bowls is about a 1/3 inch from the top rim; so if you filled with flour or whatever, you'll get more than a cup or 1/2 cup or whatever the stated size of the bowl is. They're prep bowls, not measuring cups.

no you can not. the measurement line is inside the bowl. despite this, i like them

No the measure point is lower in the bowl. Great for herbs or premeasured liquid to pour. The flexibility is great when pouring. Hope this helps

They are mostly useful for semi-solid materials like cookie dough, fruit, etc. They perform as a scoop, though, so if you are scooping liquid it should work.

I don't see why not, but not in large quantities.I got distracted and let my whole oats run in there longer than planned, and they were very close to flour.

I have only used them to bake bread. Flan and creme brulee is not as heavy so can't advise.

I just went into kitchen and sifted flour through the small strainer, but I rinsed it out before trying anything else. It worked very well, the rest of the strainers are bigger so they could be used for anything.

yes. However, I don't own one anymore. I sent it back. The recipes where all messed up, and won't get another until they correct that issue. For example in the 1/2 lb recipe calls for 3 cups of flour. really??

YES they do! Sometimes the OVAL side can get into narrower jars, than the ROUND end can ...PLUS, a recipe can almost always call for a Tablespoon of this and and a Tablespoon of that...In this case you have 2 clean Tablespoons at your disposal. One may be a dry ingredient...the other a wet ingredient like an extract. It is a further plus that they all NEST to take up less room ...PLUS you don't need to gather them up all over your kitchen drawer...because they are all together...unless you wish to place them on a metal strip the way some do with an assortment of knives. If you have any questions..feel free to ask. TY :)

Yes. This product can be used with measures equivalent to other flour. It is an excellent substitute.

Yes, you can! These little "beakers" are great for measuring small amounts. When not in use they stack so nicely in my cabinet. Love them!

I have only used them for baking but I suppose they could be used for cutting the dough although the recipe I use is pretty sticky.

Yes but getting the right consistency in this machine is difficult. Doing small amounts seem to work ok. I get frustrated when making a full batch because I have to keep taking it all apart and adding more flour. It tends to clump up. When I get it right it's really good

I'm sorry I took so long to answer you. I think several cups of flour will fit in at one time, although it probably works better if you just do one or two at a time. It sifts the flower finely and it goes into whatever bowl or container you have sitting underneath the sifter.

Yes, I believe you could put almost any dry food in these containers. The wheel attached to the dispenser knob is made of thick but slightly flexible rubber that stays flush to the sides of the container as it turns, so even finely ground foods won't fall out (except the portion you want to dispense), and the contents remain relatively air-tight. I have stored nut flour in mine.

I gave them as a gift to my sister and she bakes all the time - so I would say yes - but I never did an actual measurement test :)

I imagine they can help you measure out the diameter of circular dough like when making a pie crust or pizza. I use the rolling pin for cookie dough, so I don't worry about the numbers.

I don't see why not! it's not quite big enough NOT to prevent flour from getting all everywhere if you're messy like I am, but it seems like it would be good. Very smooth, even surface. :)

I haven't trued it but I don't see why not - it has the texture of regular flour and measures cup for cup
