want

You know how, sometimes, you don't realize you've long wanted something until you actually see the thing for the first time? Yeah—this is a bit like that. Want.

It would make a cool paperweight or decorative piece, but I can't imagine actually using it in the kitchen to measure stuff.

I hate flipping through my measuring spoons and cups. The very act of flipping is the problem for me—it's a drag. With this cube, that problem is solved as there's nothing to flip but the cube itself, and cleaning is as easy as some water, a stiff-bristled brush, and a paper towel. (And maybe soap when you're cleaning up oil.) You can't diminish my enthusiasm for this thing!

To each his own. I would personally find it a pain, but you might love it. It's all good.

You aren't the only one. I just ordered two online. I'm ready to retire those tiresome spoons and cups. Thanks for informing me of the cube's existence.

An excellent primer on lost wax casting. Only this time it is lost plastic. There is a turbine manufacturer that uses this technique, and watching the robots coat the plastic for the molds is fascinating.

Peace,
