What to know about measuring cups and spoons
Measuring cups and spoons come in direct contact with your food every time you cook or bake. The material they're made of matters because ingredients—especially acidic or hot liquids—can interact with reactive surfaces. Welpr focuses on whether the materials are non-reactive, food-safe, and free from plastic that touches your food.
- Stainless steel and glass are among the safest materials for food-contact tools like these.
- Plastic measuring cups and spoons are common but can leach chemicals over time, especially with repeated use and washing.
Check what yours are made of
Look at the measuring cups and spoons you currently own and identify what material they're made from. Since these touch your food directly and are used frequently, they're worth reviewing.
- Flip them over or check the packaging for material info—look for labels like "18/8 stainless steel," "BPA-free," or "100% silicone."
- Flag any plastic sets first, especially if they're older, scratched, or discolored, as wear can increase what transfers to food.
Use your current set more safely
If you have plastic measuring cups and spoons, you don't need to toss them today. A few small changes can reduce what transfers to your food while you plan a replacement.
- Avoid using plastic measuring cups for hot liquids, acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice, or oily foods.
- Hand-wash plastic sets with mild soap instead of running them through the dishwasher, since high heat can accelerate material breakdown.
Choose cleaner replacements
When you're ready to upgrade, look for measuring cups and spoons made from stainless steel or glass. These materials are non-reactive, durable, and won't leach anything into your food.
- If a set includes silicone components, make sure it's labeled as 100% food-grade silicone—and use it for room-temperature or cold ingredients rather than hot liquids.
