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.

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

  2. 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!

    1. 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.

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

  4. 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,
